Mine ordered. I think it has to be one of three colours: Phantom black, Daytona grey or Suzuka grey. It has to have the matt aluminium package. I like the Misano red but it is a bit over-the-top for me, especially with the red alloys. Only optional extra equipment I need is magnetic ride. Roll on April.

Yes, RS3 is late.

Yes, RS3 is based on a 9-year old platform that will be replaced in a year's time.

Yes, it is expensive for an A3.

Yes, Audi is milking its cash cow for all it's worth.

...but, it is a superb car. No other hot hatch can touch it. We just have to hope that it drives fantastically.

I'm looking forward to it very much.
