This is a very personal question of taste. To me hands down would go to ara blue. ... I think I would only see nardo grey on my concrete garage
floor. Again just my preference.

Some of the greys look really good but personally, I'm tired of the greys.

As you can quickly see from the poll I conducted earlier, the answer is ... IT DEPENDS! The split was almost exactly 50% vs 50% (who led depended on when you looked at the thread). We had a very recent vote that put Nardo up by 1 but it's basically a very personal choice. I'm pretty sure you can figure out which way I went.

Thank you very much for that link! I'm actually surprised so many people ordered these 2 colors.
Seeing the sedan makes me wonder if I don't prefer it over the SB... hmmm... (note my current DD is a black S3 SB).

I thought "BlackAce" said it best within that thread re: the popularity of those two particular colors: " Nardo is free plus an RS-only color, so I knew it'd be a runaway victor. For anyone who doesn't like cement or primer, those people almost always like Audi blues. Sepang was the #1 S3 color, so if Nardo hadn't been there Ara would be #1."

Just picked up my Ara blue RS3, and the color is even better than I could have hoped for. It is amazingly complex in differing light - I am still waiting to see it in bright sun. Lots of people love Nardo too, but Ara with alu-optic is amazing to my eye.

Hi all,
I've been lurking around this forum ever since I booked my RS3 Sportback few months back. Here's my Ara blue RS3 SB, about to take delivery of it this coming Saturday, ignore the cheesy ribbon which my sales teased me with..
I'm based in Australia and we have the option of choosing the blade wheels with SB option, so here it is, i know it'll cop a number of flak from ppl here..
