It mainly just comes down to having a certain amount of wealth and/or IDGAF level to drive a nice car in the winter. But that is going to be true of a 911, RS3, or anything you value.
Yeah, I know I could drive a 911 in the winter, but it would go so far against the grain of my 'protect nice things' nature that I wouldn't be able to do it. An RS3 is a nice thing, too, obviously, but there is something a lot more palatable about driving an Audi in the winter versus a Porsche (for me).

Guess I won't have to decide for a bit and I'm in no hurry for my kids to move out, but while I plot and daydream about my empty-nester fun car I just wanted a reality check on the RS3 before I start getting tunnel vision, which I'm apt to do when I get a bee in my bonnet.
