I drove the RS3 today just to satisfy myself that I had looked properly at the options. It was MUCH better than I expected based on reviews etc.
This car is awesome but there is so much hate for it out there. Every journo and reviewer seems to find the same faults (numb steering, understeer on the limit) but how many of the keyboard haters have actually had a drive?
Needs to have the magnetic suspension option and it is a wallowy mess in comfort but in dynamic this thing is brilliant.
Engine thrust and exhaust note are like a mini lambo. Point and squirt on windy roads with no issues.
With our local speed limits I could not get anywhere near the reported understeer issues. It just cornered on rails up to speeds where my licence was at risk.
Its significantly cheaper, has more colour options and you can get one without a long wait.
However, I think I will stick with the M2 because I want rear wheel drive and what I think will be superior trackability.
Not an easy or obvious choice, especially if you have no track plans.
