New Audi R3
Audi R3 3.5 0-60 1/4 mile 11.9 119mph 4 wheel drive turbo under to 19.8 pounds of boost! 6900 red line 3350 lbs.
Should be right with or ahead of the GS! Thinking about one of these.
Faster in all weather than 2 wheel drive.

You forgot the S....
Also, I love them. I was debating between that and the GT350.

The more I read and see the more I like. More classy than the Mustang.
IMO! 3.5-60 4 wheel drive 6900 redline underrated power. Plus I got in
not a RS3 but another Audi pretty fricken sweet!
Glad I made the plunge! Have to wait till end of March for delivery.
Has a lot of Stuff like the C7 like adjustable mag ride sport exhaust.
The german quality is pretty sweet 14 speaker B&O and much smoother and quiet ride.

I would drive the Focus I can not imagine taking it over the Audi! Ford is on my no list!

I have had a thing for the Focus RS as my new daily driver since it came out. (Passed on the Chevy SS) But there are reports everywhere of a major engine problems due to defective leaking head gaskets in the Focus. Might even be a recall. So I can't seem to pull the trigger.
( We also have an Audi (SQ5). They are nice cars for sure . . . but everything is overpriced, sometimes its just ridiculoius)
Good luck with your negotiations.

Does the RS3 require a timing belt/chain replacement after a certain number of miles or by time?
Were you able to get a discount off of MSRP?

Very quick small packaged car...not a chance in hell that I'd be a buyer though. I'm over 6' so the Audi 3 cars don't fit me to well. Audi has probably the best interiors hands down. If you want a pocket rocket that has high end appointments write the check....just be prepared for some big $$$ on the maintenance side.
I owned a 2014 S6. Probably one of the best polished Super sedan out there. Very quick and a knock your socks off interior. Drove it over 40k miles and had the prepaid Audi maintenance program. If you get an Audi prepay the maintenance. Brakes aren't included in the program....dealer will wack you for 3k. I had my friends shop do it for $700. Granted I didn't change the rotors. Just preparing you if you never owned an Audi, especially an S or RS they can get costly to maintain.
Other than that great cars! Traded my S6 for a 17 Chevy SS. People thought I was nuts...when they see and drive in the car their impressed. Find an SS and strap a supercharger on if you want more giddyap!

[QUOTE=sublime1996525;1596666697]I just picked up an RS a few weeks ago for my DD. I love it! I was able to get one for $4,600 off MSRP.
I was looking at a 2018 Race Red with a MSRP of $43,265 the best I was able to get was $1,883 off but I am still trying. When I am reading stories over on RS org it seems others have been doing much better. The one I made an offer on the 15th just sold on the 22nd or 23rd.

Don't feel that on this car. Oil looks to easy be easy and I'm not worried don't think it will be bad. Of course I'm doing a blower install
on my Z06 right now.
