Mine's finally gone in for repair. New door, new rear panel. Think I'm gonna chop it in after christmas. Just doesnt feel like mine anymore... or not that its not mine but that its spoiled? Dunno. First world problems and all that.

Who buys a flash motor and then hides the fact that it's a flash motor?
That and it looks like an A3 so need something to show that it's an expensive one.

Audio and Nav stuff just seems different to AUDI HILL HOLD ASSIST but I'm sure why. It's just as silly I guess. I just don't understand what the 'Audi' in the name of that option is for? Seems very strange. Why not just call it 'Hill Hold Assist'?
Better still why not just stop charging for a feature that every other manufacturer gives away for free even on crap stuff?

Brand reinforcement or something like that probably. I agree, it is silly though. It isn't like you can specify another brand alternative.

Because it is part of the business model and people keep paying extra for it.
Rain sensors are even extra, you don't even get nav with a Cayenne

Lol
Those who want that sleeper look.
I think a bright red RS3 is probably the wrong car for those who want to fly under the radar
Yea the dynamic pack plus is a total rip off. Who on earth would spend that on a car destined for the uk. More so you can circumvent it anyway as it only works in top gear.
It's pretty stealthy anyway, isn't it? To the untrained eye, it doesn't look much different from an A3. If someone isn't that into cars, the RS badge isn't going to mean anything to them anyway. The speed you pull away from the traffic lights with will.
Anyway, by my understanding, it's not that difficult to remove the badge yourself if you want to go more stealthy in the future. At least if you keep the badge, you have the option.

Whoops, didn't realise someone had replied. After looking online it isn't as much of a re-spray as I had thought, they hide the panel edges very well!
Even so, I still decided it was probably best to go with Audi for the 3 year warranty and the use of a curtesy car for the week. (Got a '15 plate diesel A1 - bit girly!)
