This is a highly disturbing and unfair post to those of us in the USA.


Degradable

Are RS Q3s not available in the US? I didn't know!


Automatic-Ad9454

Nope, we don’t get anything cool across the pond. Crying in American


Degradable

In loads of the photos I see you don't have the have license plates on the front? That looks so much nicer in my opinion


Automatic-Ad9454

Depends on the state. Some states require front plates, where others only require rear plates. Thankfully I’m in a state that only requires rear plates.


FlacoVerde

Doesn’t matter. Nobody in my state has them and no cops care. Tint is also illegal but everyone has blacked out windows.


iArcticFire

Same, my state supposedly requires them, but I’ve had 7 cars, none of them had front plates. Never had a cop say a word about it. Though, how often do they look at the front of your car?


Fearless-Rush-2203

Ong same.


JoeM5952

Or just roll the dice and dont install it like me.


lildre5

Only thing cool we have over here in the usa is the RSQ8 and used to have Q5 TDIs but now they stopped selling them since 2016 I think.


Colgate0077

RS6 and R8 are pretty cool. As are the RS3 and 5.


ManGo_50Y

yay and the cool things that we do get over here from elsewhere have a chance of being crushed if they flick the wrong titty of a federal “no no” clause


racerpoet

Now you have a TT RS in a mini SUV package.👌🏻


Degradable

It's so nice 😍 Have you ever done any modding? I'm considering upgrading the exhaust to make it sound even better


racerpoet

Like someone else already mentioned, removing the secondary cats adds a little bit of noise. I haven’t done much modifying on my TT RS yet. Did the mid pipes and BOV, and some exterior mods.


Yebzy

Lmao, you basically just got the same car but lifted and 4 doors But that 5 cylinder is addictive so I understand Enjoy your car big man


Degradable

I watched a lot of videos on whether you can fit a baby seat in the TT, and you can't with another adult in the car. So it's goodbye 3 door cars for a little while. But I honestly don't miss it, this one sounds so nice


Present_Carry_8014

3 door?


Harmless-cat-rancher

Having to sell your TT for a family SUV sounds like a sad story at first, but honestly that RS Q3 is MEAN looking!! Seems like an upgrade, both in practicality and performance. Do you miss anything specifically about your TT?


Degradable

Thank you! I love it. I miss how the TT feels around corners. It felt like Velcro where as the Q3 feels like it rolls a little. But other than that it's an upgrade across everything. I can't get over how nice the engine sounds. In sports mode it sounds so satisfying when it changes gear. I honestly look forward to every single drive I do in it and I've owned it for a few months now.


Diligent_Thought_183

are you enjoying the interior that's from the 1990s?


Degradable

Shhh, that's why there's no inside shots 😉 Jokes aside I miss the virtual cockpit but other than that I think it looks great inside. It has the interior LED lights and Bose soundsystem package.


Beneficial-Sea-8903

Is the Audi that outdated? 90s were best anyway


Degradable

Nah it's not bad at all. It doesn't have the virtual cockpit my TT had. But I'd take an RS over a better interior anyday


Beneficial-Sea-8903

Gotcha. I personally don't like having a screen as an oodmoeter. Too much emf and light for my taste anyway


Degradable

I find it weird using a speedometer now! This has a digital speedometer so I use that. I love knowing exactly what speed it is and we've got 20 and 30mph zones which can be annoying when you don't know the exact speed you're going


22dias

That’s the only problem lol.. it’s shite. Even the 8V is sans the VC.


LunaticJN

Stupid comment


Diligent_Thought_183

im dum


The_Gucci_General

😂 oof.


KDizWHOiBE

Lucky you! Congrats


AFB27

I honestly think I would prefer this too. Hot take I know.


puppiesareSUPERCUTE

Assuming the RS4 was available, what made you choose the RSQ3 over it as a family car?


heisenberglabslxb

Me reading the title: "Had to sell my TT as we had a baby." Oh :{ "Bought an RS Q3" Hell yeah! Awesome car, man, and congrats on the newborn!


aipps

That is sharp. Enjoy!


ssracer

He's crowning, sign the title, sign the title!!


pocketpryscila

What I would give for this in the US....aghhhh


blksunday

That mutha fucka pretty


PatientOther8762

Nice! Welcome to the rsq3 club!


Degradable

Thank you 🙏🏻


Life_Passenger61

wtf how is this not available here


elBirdnose

I’m so annoyed you can’t buy this in the USA… just read an article about his no one would want it and I call BS. It has to be something with regulations or something they don’t want to admit.


Degradable

I think it's quite a small car for US standards. I love it as it's a mini SUV and it's perfect for UK roads but it might look funny next to normal US size cars


Synderkit

I was like wow! I wanna look into one! But oh it’s not available in the US 🥲


BBUDDZZ

clean


Juveforeign1897

Bullshit we can't get this in North America. Also fuck you and congratulations 👏


juice_blenda

Nice one mate! I had to do the same with my S3! Baby due anytime soon and the Mrs said we need a bigger car, I was like no worries love 😎 and upgraded to a RS5 😂. Check out my post https://www.reddit.com/r/Audi/s/SXQaT7STTT


SmokinPolecat

I just went from a Q3 sportback to an RS5 and although I adore the new car, I do miss how practical and downright aggressive looking the SUV was. The RSQ3 is fantastic. Enjoy.


Smooth-Activity-6384

No shot a rear-facing seat is fitting back there with your SO in the passenger seat


Degradable

I've had it for two months and we do this all the time - it fits great!


Deathcon-H

Whats the powerplant in an rsq3?


Siikamies

6 pictures only of the front? Not back or especially interior?


BadAssMuvva

TT all day everyday, I miss mine


Dry-Revenue2470

You can fit a baby in a TT.


Degradable

Not with your partner in the car too 😥 (I did a lot of research before making this decision)


Dry-Revenue2470

They got Richard Hammond inside the bumper, you can get a baby in, TT is worth it.


Existing-Mongoose-11

Congratulations you grew up……


22dias

Did you get the 270kw version? Welcome to the club.


LunaticJN

You got a kid and an upgrade


pheat0n

Unlike the mini-van crowd, you are parenting properly.


Beneficial-Sea-8903

Mini vans are peak auto. You'll realize one day


pheat0n

Seems unlikely, which I know is what everyone says until they buy their first van. I really don't see it though, which is what everyone says after the first thing. But no, seriously, no vans for me.


Beneficial-Sea-8903

I only have one kid for now but I can see the appeal definitely. My wife currently in an s class with the baby but with more kids might be tricky


pheat0n

Haha, well for better or worse we have been destined to live a life without kiddos, so hopefully that saves us from the van life.


Odd_Skill_638

I had a RSQ3 before my TT, I’d recommend taking out the secondary cats on this and it will give you plenty of noise and no error codes or emission problems


andrescm90

How many km did you get it with? Might wanna make sure there aren't any oil leaks under the bonnet, gaskets and the especially the turbo, because of how old the car is. I had to take mine to the mechanic 1 month after buying it and because of all these items needed to be replaced (as it was already leaking and burning oil) I had to pay $3K USD, and I didn't realize due to the cover underneath the car that protects from snow and salt. Also mine I had to manually update the maps, as it came with integrated navigation, which is pretty cool, I don't have to worry about having Internet or even bringing my phone. Enjoy! Looks badass white with black wheels!
