What about this thread.........

That's S3 isn't it? Not RS3

And to add to my opening of the thread, I've got a demo on the M135 coming up, which looks to be the performance bargain of them all, but not 4wd........

All thoughts welcome

Ah yes so it is!! I'm sure there was an RS3 v ? not so long back!

[RedDejavu]

rs3 all the way mate its totall animal and so different to golf R! Just buy it and be happy of making a good choice:]

[George]

RS3 all day long!

What about the difference in runnning costs though? I bet Audi charge a fair wack for new discs!

300 for a set of front discs. They are wank, but aftermarket solution has been developed.

,
Those who have driven both the Golf R and RS3 say that the Golf R is a more fulfilling and exciting drive. The Audi interior will feel more luxurious but the Golf R will feel more alive to drive. Only way to decide is a decent length of test drive of each, preferably on the same roads.

How does the M135i compare price-wise to the RS3? Must be a decent chunk cheaper?

Chris Harris will have a video report on Pistonheads of the M135i next week - sounds like he's enjoyed it a lot!

[andrewparker]

Nice!

Each to their own but RS3 will always be my bet because I love efortless drive even if a bit tame. Its all about enjoying the drive not going sideways round the roundabouts for someone who dont even know how to do it properly besides why would you do it on public roads for?

[andrewparker]

Haha, so you've basically just said you'd prefer a car that is boring to drive?

Each to their own indeed

[Poverty]

wouldnt call a rs3 boring! the 1 series is hardly a go kart either!

Your ed35 is so nice. But would have to be RS3 if I had the choice.

How is the 35 driving then

Had a good play in the Ed35 today, really good fun and quick on dry roads. However I'm sure it was wheel spinning above 60mph..........on stage 1 (this might have been yesterday when the roads were damp though).

Off to see an RS3 tomorrow.......

Passed an RS3 on way to manchester Airport yesterday afternoon, was not sure if it was RS3 or S3 until we got close enough to see the badges, on that basis I would choose the Golf R and spend £3K of the £10K saving on some mods

Yes that is one of my main issues with the current Audi A3's. The difference, in terms of looks, between a TDI S-line, S3 and RS3 is not enough.

Obviously others will think this is a good thing but not IMO.
