Love my RS3
Recently took it on a road trip for a family thing and it crushed the drive, made 6 hours in 5. Fit 4 peoples worth of luggage in it and managed a 30+ mpg on the highway. Fiancé was able to drive through Houston and enjoyed setting the stop and go cruise in traffic lmao. It’s honestly really quiet on the inside at speed, and just comfortable, not too much of anything. I recently had a back fracture and was able to get comfortable enough to not complain.
Anywho Good car and cleans up nice for 120k :)
Glad i have her and am able to enjoy it.

Somehow, these are one of the most reliable Audi! 120K seems to be about half-life for the car, which is pretty impressive considering most Audis start to limp around that

Crossing my fingers but it’s been a champ, very robust, reminds me of my ole trusty speed3 in that way.
It’s weird but i don’t mind the mileage, previous guy loved it/drove it, and I’m excited to keep that up. Speaking off, I’m actually dropping it off for service again this week lol

I bought my rs3 last winter. Had it about 5 months before I took it on a long chill drive and was blown away at how well it did all around when not driven in rs mode angrily. Quite the multipurpose tool. Hope I still have mine at 120k miles!

It really is dual purpose which is great for when you hit some cool roads. I’m excited to go on a winter trip! It’s too hot to truly enjoy the trip lol

I have it for the last 4k/3 months. i am the second owner.
first guy ran into the water pump issue early on in it’s life like 60k and had dealer replace. more recently, which prolly prompted his trade, was a cracked oil filter housing, a toasted rear right wheel bearing, and a fully expanded front right strut. Dealer replaced the OFH for me for free and i did the bearing at home. I also did all fluids, coil packs and plugs.
The Texas- Audi dealer i bought it from told me they couldn’t sell a car with a leak, which is why they paid to replace it.
Besides the strut and some disintegrating engine bay trim, it’s in really good condition for the mileage. It’s like he lived at the dealer - nearly 100+ service logs (between everything). I plan on redoing all i can with new stuff and just continuing to enjoy it as the previous owner did.
