It's an Audi.
Seats look epic though.

seats do look awesome, outside just does not look that dis-similar to the S3 or S-line models

I find most new Audi's extremely bland. Too subtle for the money they command.

looks pants in the sportback? version.
comparing it to the normal a3, yes it looks more aggressive from the front.
but 4.6 seconds to 60 in a hatchback is insane

One of the ph comments says it all tbh.
"So, the car most people have been waiting for, the RS3.
Only it isn't. Because I would bet that most (if not all) would want it as a 3 door with a manual transmission.
Nice one Audi."
The car nobody wants. Awesome.

Agree! Manual should be standard, S-tronic should be an option and you should be able to get it in a 3 or 5 door. Having said that they sell more 5 door A3's than 3 door so maybe that was their thinking?!
People are saying it looks subtle or bland - I think it looks OTT and in your face And thats why I dont like it.

I bet the S3 annual sales figures tell a different story though, the 3 door will be the big seller.
They should offer both, not just the sportback.
Is s-tronic audi's dsg? Or I it an actual spackamatic?

Most tend to be 5 door now that I see as most are compnay cars. the majority have a policy where it has to be 4 OR 5 door hence why you see loads of GTTDi golfs and GTI's and St's in 5 door
s-troinc is not DSG form last time i lloked at Audis
The S Tronic has 7 speed with paddle shifts but is not dual clutch

All S-Tronic's are dual clutch (DSG), even the 7 speed. They renamed it S-Tronic to differentiate from VW even though it is the same system.
Multitronic is the normal auto.

i swear the only people driving them are the salesman who get to take them home each night.
like my neighbour who worked for audi, kept bringing home really nice ones, but don't see anyone driving them
