It's a 2012 saloon, performance package plus (487bhp), LSD, generally pretty well specced car.
A bucket list engine i thought i'd one day like to own... it turns out when i heard/drove it... i REALLY wanted it. The RS3 is a nice car, and probably my choice over the hyper hatch collection having tested all of them.. but when you get the luxury and noise of the C63 it's a hard sell to throw cash down the toilet on a new RS3 when you can lose minimally on a C63 and tick a dreamy engine off the list. The only downside was the lack of a hatchback boot, but i wasn't allowed the estate.
Very different to the zed, more of a go-anywhere-do-anything car - an A-road/motorway trips beast, vs Z4's weekend blast fun on A/B roads
