Pulling the trigger on a Nardo Gray 18’ tomorrow! Had a 91 M5 for 17 yrs (97-14), ready once more to own a German sports car . I’ll be driving my14’ Taurus SHO in the winter 😊
@@InvictusMotorsThanks, yes i did! Traced the service records thru Audi, at 50k mi it has been dutifully serviced by the previous owner per schedule at an Audi dealer up thru 48k. Took it to the local dealer here for a presale inspection and the only notable thing was a dirty cabin air filter 😊 Just adjusted my settings so I can select the Drive mode via the * button on the steering wheel. What a go cart!
You forgot to mention this 2018's BIGGEST advantage - is does not have an OPF. I bought my 2018 in march of last year. Test drove a 2019 model right before, what a disappointment. Absolutely NO 5 cylinder sound remaining, it sounds like a slightly muffled Golf GTI. And at least here in Germany, you cannot legally remove the OPF. cheers
the new shape audi a3 s3 rs3 interiors suck this 2018 model is the best I just purchased the last shape 2019 s3 I test drove both and preferred the older shape
Just bought a 2016 Cataluna Red RS3 and absolutely love it!

Great comprehensive video! I'm in the market for a 2018 rs3 now and this has been very helpful 👍
Glad it was helpful! ❤️

Thanks for highlighting that, it is a big advantage

I agree with you. It is the same with range rovers. The 2016 has better interior than the 2020.
Dream car one day 🤞
@@thecrimsonlip53 hopefully that happens soon 👌❤️. Have you test driven one yet?
@@InvictusMotors no not yet I went to the audi garage near me to make an appointment testing it next week
Nonsense I’ve got the 2019 and you hear that beautiful 5cylinder sound no problem not as loud as this one but tbh I think this one sounds a bit rough
Maybe the mic picked up that way, sounded great to us
i love my DAZA
