it doesnt look like it should but stage 2+ and i cant think of anything that would touch it, that engine must be a stonker ! 3.2 seconds to 60 and a standing 1/4 of 11.something seconds, thats faster than the old Mclaren F1  :drool:
certainly

Nice car but its biggest problem is the existence of the BMW 1M. If I had 40k to spend on a car like this Audi would not be getting my money.

I just don't get why people are so intent on comparing the M1 with the RS3! The RS3 is a 5 door hatchback with more room than my R32 and as Clarkson said, the M1 isn't a coupe it's a saloon - except it isn't even that. The only comparison is that they cost around the same, are about as fast, and were announced at around the same time. If you want a 2 door car that makes you look like a hairdresser but goes nowhere when the white stuff hits the ground (like my 330 touring last December) then by all means choose the Beemer. If you want the space, style, speed, grip and subtlety of a good looking hatch with a fantastic DSG box you'll choose the Audi - or not. I ordered one as soon as the order books were open just to get that sublime 5 pot engine. But then I woke up and ordered a proper car due September. A Golf R

And now we come to the issue of cost - everyone also seems horrified that the RS3 costs £40k but add a few bits to the Golf R in 5 door DSG form as I've done and the bill is over £40k!

Surely you'd be miles better buying a low mileage RS4 Avant. Looks better, it's the best RS car made...

Audi really are buffoons!

"The car handles corners with plenty of grip, but its limit handling balance is dominated by understeer, and is largely unresponsive to attempts at throttle steering."

In a 4wd car... understeer? Why do they insist on making cars which understeer?  :stupid: :stupid:

Oops just deleted my comment! I like to think of the Haldex cars as 2+2WD.  :grin:

From what I have read the GEN4 Haldex seems to be much more predictive as opposed to the GEN2 stuff in the .:R and S3.

S3 was GenIV as of 2007 apparently. Got firmly put in my place for assuming otherwise on VAGOC!
