Things that suck: the price. Starts at almost $63k CAD. Then again, it also has about 400 horsepower, so I guess it’s reasonable? I think I’d rather an S3 for about $16k less.

Pros: Cool fast german machinery
Cons: Uncool mean assholes who control the dealerships these are at.
Salesman: What? No, get out. You’re just a kid
Buyer: But I literally have $63kCAD in my hands!
Salesman: What part of ‘just a kid’ did you not hear? Out!
Buyer: I’m 29!!!
Salesman:
OUT, I SAY!

Then I’ll go buy a... well, not a WRX, because they wouldn’t take me seriously, or a Focus RS, because they wouldn’t take me seriously, or a...
Hm, this is an issue.

My coworker just ordered one. Our corporate program is basically set discounts, with R and RS models discounted less or none. But no price negotiation needed, no worries of markups, and no pressure or limitations from our AOA and contact reps.

Dealership Management: Why are our inventories so damned high???
Salesman: I don’t know. But it’s an industry wide problem right now. I guess car buying is coming to a slump?
Buyer: *
pounds on window from outside*
That was really uncalled for, but if you apologize, I’m still willing to buy the RS3. I still have money in hand! See!
Salesman:...goddamnit.
Management: Don’t worry. Let me take care of this.
Buyer: Oh, thank god. A reasonable person. All I want to do with this money is-
Management: *
raises shotgun*
Buyer: ARE YOU FUCKING SERIOUS!?

Yeah, I’ve been thinking hard about it. 3.9 seconds to 60 is pretty damn quick. The biggest issue with the RS3 is the TTRS being faster. Makes me want the TTRS but I need 4 doors... argh.

But the thing is, will you really notice anything faster than 3.9 seconds, and is there anything better than scaring the shit out of three friends while doing so?

I found it funny that I was taken more seriously at a Jaguar dealership (when I was curious about F-Types) than an Infiniti dealership. They offered me a F-Type V6 test drive (and I don’t look like I can afford it), but the guy at the Infiniti dealership wouldn’t even let me look inside the 500 Abarth that was listed at $9k (and I looked like, and also told him, that I could afford it).
