A new manual Supra. Aiming to do it.
My wife and I are in the market for 3 new cars, hers, the DD and maybe a replacement for the RS. So far we have hers decided and ordered, a KIA Stonic GT, the DD will almost certainly be an CX5 GT SP with the 2.5 turbo engine. There may be a 6000klm old RS LE on the market soon that has the factory fitted C gasket and literally never seen a wet road. Do the wipers work? Don't know I've never used them.

The newest Audi RS3 has me very tempted. Itās very hard to find right now because it is so new though. The prior gen was not enticing enough as I didnāt like the tacked on infotainment or the tendency to understeer. With the new looks, wider front track, new torque vectoring RDU and integrated infotainment this might be the car that replaces the RS. Hard to say though, Iāve been sitting with the idea of getting rid of the RS and Iām worried Iāll regret it. Only other cars that had me considering it were the newest CLA45 AMG and Giulia Quadrifoglio. With the former I heard the ride is harsh and they are hard to come by, the latter is reliability issues and no AWD which is important where I live.
Has anyone gone from an RS to an RS3? Any regrets?

Out of curiosity, what sort of price would you be asking for it? Will give me a rough idea what mines worth.....

Well I'm no expert in second hand prices but looking at what's out there condition and mileage wise which aren't LE's and the dealer fitted gasket question mark on most I'd be asking 60-65K for mine. So what it owes me. Oh, and it's never been back to the dealer since I bought it so that's another "value add" lol.

Recently got a new job, 81% salary increase.
Next year, after I'm in a house, I trying to decide what I'm gonna do.
Option 1 is gonna be trade RS in for a 971 Panamera Turbo.
Option 2 is gonna be keep RS, go for either a 3LT Z51 C8, or maybe stretch to a C8Z06 depending on how money goes.

81% good lord..props on that...C8Z for the win...
I forgot to mention in my post, the Cayman was my favorite Porsche. It wasnāt the fastest but it did everything well, it was probably the mid engine the made it handle so well. If you can get it, to me the Cayman GT4 would be they way to go. If you need a backseat then thatās not the car to get.
What is your opinion on the C8 Corvette? I havenāt driven one yet but hear it is good. The GT4 is just about impossible to get, at least without a markup. The wait locally for a new one is really long. I thought the C8 might be a good alternative? What do you think? I like both.
Wellā¦. Iām not a big Corvette guy. Iāve always been partial to small cars that have lots of power. My father had a ā16 Stingray that I drove pretty often just to keep the battery charged and it felt like a ālargeā car to me. I havenāt driven one of the new ones but maybe they feel different (?). I will say this, the new one is one of the best sounding cars Iāve heard. We were walking down 5th Ave in NYC last Christmas and I kept hearing a really nice sounding exhaust echoing off the buildings. I expected to see some exotic but it was a new Corvette. Really nice sound.
I wish I could say Iāve driven one but I havenāt.
