Car Deal of the Day: Mighty Audi RS 3 hyper hatch for only £425 a month

The RS 3 is a rare breed thanks to its fire-breathing five-pot, and our Deal of the Day for 11 July keeps it affordable

  • Five-cylinder thrills
  • £424.69 per month
  • Two-year deal at 5,000 miles a year

Five seems to be a pretty good number for pop bands, but it works pretty well for cylinders, too. It used to be a fairly popular format, but today one of the few cars left with a five-pot engine is the Audi RS 3, and even that’s not long for this world.

Seems like a good excuse to get behind the wheel, though, before the sonorous five-cylinder is gone for good, which is where today’s deal comes in. Via the Auto Express Buy A Car service, you can get an RS 3 for £424.69 per month through Carwow Leasey on a two-year deal.

There’s a £5391.28 initial payment to consider and a 5,000-mile mileage limit, while maintenance is not included, but the RS 3 will be fresh out of the factory and you’ve got a choice of colours if you’d like to stretch the budget a little further.

Spec-wise you’re looking at the standard model, but that doesn’t mean low levels of equipment, as the RS 3 is one of the fanciest hatchbacks on the market. A 12.3-inch virtual cockpit display (with a G-meter and other performance features) and leather trim over well-bolstered sports seats are standard.

As is, of course, that 394bhp turbocharged 2.5-litre in-line five, good for 0-62mph in 3.8 seconds and 155mph, thanks to the combined efforts of a torque-vectoring all-wheel-drive system and dual-clutch gearbox. The torque vectoring helps in corners, too, where the latest RS 3 is more capable, and fun, than ever.
