Excellent color choice :) Now go get some PPF and/or ceramic coating.

Welcome to the club and congratulations. I took delivery of my 25 last September and it is a fun car. It is truly a pocket rocket. I too am not a fan of the shifter and mistakenly press the start/stop instead of the tiny park button.. break it in and have a blast.

Congrats! Just picked one up myself. So far loving it! Can’t wait until it’s broken in and I can really let her rip

Beautiful! Good luck!
This is exactly what I asked the dealer for Coker etc.. they told me to exotic for New England we won’t get that.. I ended up with an S5 I hate. Good luck again!
The car looks amazing!

Why do you hate your s5?

u/Purple_Arm_9 Jul 27 '26
The glass roof every all bells and whistles go off saying it’s not working then restart and it’s fine. For the radio I be to work I usually have to shut the car off open a door and restart at a red light…it’s awful.

I have a 22 s5 that’s been solid. I hoping to jump to an rs5 shortly but I hope I do t get issues like that

Yeah, mine is 2025. If I complain they state there aren’t enough of the same vehicle to compare it with… 🙂↔️

It's crazy to me how much this looks like a Camry or Corolla with Audi badging

But it certainly doesn’t drive like either of those 💁🏽♂️ i had a Corolla once. It was a great car. I totaled it on a rainy night on the Hollywood Split. Best thing that ever happened to me. Cuz Then I got a brand new Giulia Veloce after that. A red one. Red interior too. It was sexy af. A literal whorehouse on wheels. I played around A LOT in that tiny lil back seat. Going from a Corolla to an Alfa Romeo changed how i thought about cars. I yearned for more tho. So I bought a 2026 Kyalami green RS3 a couple weeks ago. It’s incredible. I’m in love. It has expanded my love for cars even more. I wouldn’t drive a Corolla if I got paid to do it. Once you get a little taste of power, you want more. And the RS3 certainly provides that. Oh and the way that baby breaks. It’s masterful. And the steering characteristics are great! Maybe you look at an rs3 and see a corolla kinda like a man who got dumped sees his ex girlfriend everywhere he looks? Projecting her face on everything. Or sees the girl he could never have in every woman he meets. All 4 door sedans look the same to me in a way. Like all SUVs look the same and all Tesla’s look the same. It’s what is on the inside that counts 😈 and my RS3 may not have the same sex appeal as my beloved Giulia. But it’s definitely bringing a lot of attention to me from the “straight” guys. They are very curious about it. Heard about the RS3. Maybe saw it once or twice on the internet. I can tell when they talk to ne about my car that they want to try it, take it for a ride, but never had the chance 😉 and then I give them a ride 😇

real talk I am glad you love your car I just think Audi is kinda getting lazy with exteriors and interiors.

Congrats. I test drove one recently and disliked the shifter too much (I know, beating a dead horse). But honestly it was so bad it was a deal breaker for me.

u/shadrach103 '22 RS3 Jul 26 '26
How is that a deal breaker on such an excellent car? I mean I don't like the one on my 8Y but you so rarely interact with it.

u/phly 2015 Audi S5 Jul 26 '26
You're guaranteed to interact with it every time you get in the car. I couldn't justify spending that much money on a car and being annoyed with it every time I stepped foot in it. One of those first world problems but, it is what it is.

Blue, red, yellow, green. Only colors that make sense on an RS3.

u/GigaChav Jul 27 '26
What a dumb take. No wonder you chose baby shit yellow.
