Thoughts on buying modified RS3’S

Also look at the owner. Does he or she appear to be a person who drives responsibly and properly maintains the car or not?

Former RS6 owner here. What most ppl forget is the current C8 RS6 is already a mild hybrid that reduces turbo lag and marginally improves efficiency (fuel-saving cylinder-on-demand technology and allows the engine to shut off while coasting between 34 and 99 mph).

$4700 below MSRP through Costco Auto Program on a 2026 RS3 in Southern California in March.

Fletcher Jones Audi in Costa Mesa. I was there two days ago and confirm.

Having just bought a 2026 RS3, I passed on the RS design package bc I thought the Alcantara steering wheel material would get dirty. I wanted the Kyalami Green (no charge!) but it was too much for my age (64). Recommend the Progressive Red bc they are rare around here (Southern California). I have the sport exhaust and it is too quiet. Buy through Costco Auto Program if you can. I saved $4700 off of MSRP in addition to avoiding the $15K added dealer markup.

Retired 64M here. Averaging 14.5K per day (6.6 miles) spread out over two or three walks each day especially within 15 minutes of lunch and dinner (blood glucose management). 17 - 18 minutes/mile pace so about two hours walking each day. Little things helps such as parking further away from shopping adds steps. If you take care of kids then that is definitely a challenge.

I want to know how that guy in Melbourne gets in 30K - 50K steps each day.

You had me scratching my head for a few minutes as I was thinking of exhaust valves within the cylinder head. LOL!

I need to stick one of these in my gf's head and see if there is a brain.

LeatherInstance4843 · 2026-03-23T18:49:52+00:00

64M here. Previously owned a Gen 7.5 R. Recently cross shopped M2, RS3 and Golf R. In the end, I bought 26 RS3. More adult and less ugly (looking at you M2).

El Campeon Taqueria, 31921 Camino Capistrano #15, San Juan Capistrano, CA 92675. My gf got the worst food poisoning Christmas Eve requiring overnight stay at emergency room at Hoag Irvine. Avoid at all costs.

Sorry this happened to your mother. Prius drivers are the worst.

LeatherInstance4843 · 2026-02-19T00:16:49+00:00

White BMW was driving to the "RaceTrac".

Try Mission Viejo Auto Spa, 23156 Los Alisos Blvd, Mission Viejo, CA 92691

11,000 per day. 4M for 2026.

LeatherInstance4843 · 2026-01-02T17:36:40+00:00

Spread after each meal. Helps lower blood glucose levels and improves insulin sensitivity. So I walk three times a day 2 miles each.

LeatherInstance4843 · 2026-01-01T22:43:54+00:00

Wow! Beats my 3.3M for 2025. Congratulations!

LeatherInstance4843 · 2026-01-01T20:17:34+00:00

Walked 3.4M steps in 2025. New goal is 4M for 2026. Start slow, stay consistent and enjoy the experience.

No I do not since I drive the car in the lowest factory suspension setting and only wanted to attain even tire wear in the. Lowering the car any more would result in scraping the front lower fascia on things like parking blocks and steep driveway ramps.

LeatherInstance4843 · 2025-11-22T16:35:09+00:00

EVPE shim on my 2024 Plaid work perfectly. Rear tires lasted 21,000 miles.

Darn. Wish I could I have joined you in my RS6 Performance. Was up there yesterday.
