7R or RS3
GrayMK5GTI:
I'm slightly biased. . :signLOL:
But most reviews suggest that the RS3 (as standard) is not as good to drive as the 7R. The steering has less feel, it's more prone to under steer, and is a bit. . . boring :surprised:
The RS3 engine note is awesome, in fact the whole engine is awesome :congrats:, and so tuneable.
It's £10k more than a 7R - a whole third more expensive :surprised:
Definetly a heart over head decision. . Like buying any hot hatch I guess :signLOL:

Not been funny but all these talk of reviews.....I would never ever buy any car based on a review of some overpaid magazine journalist. I would not wipe my backside on EVO magazine.
Regardless of reviews, Go out, Drive the car yourself and see how you feel about it. :happy2:

A set of decent tyres on the RS3 and it would sort most of the understeer out.

I'm not crazy about Evo mag, but I have a little more respect for TG, although all magazines seem guilty of going crazy for a car at launch, then realising it isn't perfect after a few months. . I can see a few flaws appearing with the Focus RS after it's been a long termer
I agree about driving both, I only neglected to mention this above as he states in his last paragraph that he's tried both :happy2:
