Audi RS3 Sportback review
Impeccable build quality inside and out puts rivals to shame
March 2011
Likes:
- Impeccable build quality inside and out puts rivals to shame
- Standard specification surprisingly generous
- Engine is full of character and car is good to drive - for an Audi
- Rear accommodation is generous enough to accommodate two adults in reasonable comfort
Gripes:
- Limited production run and high price will put off some
- Firm ride over surface imperfections can be tiresome
- Be careful when parking - the car's alloy wheels look vulnerable
- DSG semi-auto gearbox can prove hesitant when car is driven hard - manual mode is better
