When exploring Audi RS3 trim levels, distinguish the mechanical version from its equipment specification: the 2.5 S-tronic has an equipment configuration named Base. That name alone does not establish which comforts are fitted, so check the individual car’s seats, infotainment and optional equipment against your everyday needs.
