Pre OPF sounded better to me, but the main reason not going for a 2019 was those fake vents on the rear bumper, absolutely hated them, otherwise in the grand scheme of things a 2019 would of been fine, I doubt on the road you'd notice much performance wise but noise wise yes you would.

Thanks :)

A fully loaded 2016 has just come up on autotrader for 39k.
15k on the clock, just happens to be the same price as a 2018 models :(

I suppose because it has all the options, they can command the price?
Prices seem to have creped up in the last month for sure. I purchased a 2018 7900 mile RS from my local Audi Dealer a month ago, with 20" wheels, comfort and sound pack, red calipers, matrix led lights, for under ÂŁ40K, just had full major service, MOT, and new front Tyres, 1 owner car. Was just missing magride but I thought it was a good deal even though black was not my first choice colour so I brought it anyways.
 
not only to you, but to everybody (except Toshiba :D )

Yeah, same for me. Test driven both and didn't notice any difference in acceleration and power delivery.

Went for the 2018 because of its noise, no fake vents and better available specs with matrix headlights, oled rear, power seats and a few others bells & whistles that can't be found in the later UK models.

Which Bells and Whistles are they then?
 
One option you might find useful would be the smartphone interface. This permits alternative music streaming and also different Sat-Nav options.

Audi changed the packs, and the extras included with them a few times over the years. Items such as the Hill hold, Electric seats, rear camera and advance key popped in and out of the comfort and sound pack. On 2017 - 19 models the electric seats were not included in the pack.

From the first 2018 model year brochure (07/17) the options below were available.
Ceramic brakes - ÂŁ4,695
Brake callipers in red with RS - ÂŁ325
Engine cover with carbon accents - ÂŁ650
RS Sport suspension with Audi Magnetic Ride ('Comfort', 'Dynamic' and 'Auto') - ÂŁ995
RS Sport exhaust system, Oval-shaped, high-gloss black dual-exhaust pipes - ÂŁ1,000
Top speed restriction increase to 174mph* - ÂŁ1,600
Matrix LED headlights with LED rear lights - ÂŁ945
Matrix OLED rear lights - ÂŁ800
High-beam assist - ÂŁ160
Matt Aluminium Styling Pack -ÂŁ800
High-gloss Black Styling Pack -ÂŁ800
Privacy glass - ÂŁ450
Gloss carbon door mirrors -ÂŁ1,250
Door mirrors (folding with auto-dimming function) - ÂŁ280

Electrically adjustable front seats - ÂŁ800
RS Red Design Pack - ÂŁ895
RS Grey Design Pack - ÂŁ895

Advanced key - ÂŁ455
Hill-hold assist - ÂŁ90
Rear-view camera - ÂŁ550

By mid 2018 there were small changes. The hill hold became standard on all cars and the Audi Sport Pack was added @ ÂŁ1700.
RS Sport suspension with Audi Magnetic Ride
RS Sport exhaust system
Tyre Pressure Monitoring System.
This pack was great value as it was ÂŁ200 cheaper than taking the exhaust and suspension separately and included the tyre pressure and temperature system. Oddly there are so many second hand cars out there, from this build, that have the Suspension and exhaust but not the fancy TPMS.

The next change was the facelift 2019 and the introduction of the Base, Sport and then Vorsprung editions. This is when the TTRS options became very messy.

Hello Barmybob , is this list including the 2017 67 Reg TTRS or the late 2016 and 2017 is same or others different ? Do you have any extra list for 2016 or 2017 ? Because in the time i'm looking at a unit for it , one question is the Direct Tire Pressure Monitoring System is as you mention above fancy TPMS the Bar & Temperature or it's just a normal one ? And if got Matrix LED Headlights the High-Beam Assists becoming standard to the Matrix headlights or it's still an optional ?
 
apologize for the hurried reply:p

TT-RS has dynamic TPMS
Matrix lights include high beam assist (they will adjust the high beam according to situation, i.e oncoming/ahead vehicles etc)

Thanks Kevin for the reply , so meaning the Direct TPMS is which didn’t show the Temperature and PSi right ? We need retrofit it again right ? For the Matrix Headlights which meaning it’s directly coming with High-Beam Assists right ?
 
Sorry for not spotting this, not been on here too much lately.

Simple TPMS, which uses the ABS system to measure wheel speed, is standard on all RS's. The advanced TPMS, that uses sensors in the wheels is / was optional.

All RS's have LED lamps, I understand auto main beam was available as an option. Matrix LED lamps have many LED's that can illuminate different sections of the road. They are usually always on main beam but turn off sections when cars are observed by the camera. They also use satnav data and auto dip when entering a built up area (Handy to remember this bit) and also predict corners.

Last week I was in rural Norfolk and thought my matrix lamps were broken. I was in a dark car park and they wouldn't turn on. I left the car park, passed a national speed sign and they turned on - exactly as they should!
 
RS line-up (TT-RS, RS3/4/5/6/7) has direct TPMS, at least here in italy
Matrix function is active only above certain speed (32 km/h, if I remember well), that's why sometimes you can think they are not functioning (however, you can set a lower activation speed with VCDS, as I did)
