mr hankey makes little to no difference, all those chunterers re understeer, even a Mk1 golf understeered if you couldn’t drive! I find it neutral personally in the RS3, just depends how you drive it, if you point anything at a corner wrong and expect it to help you out or correct or flatter your poor driving it won’t, no amount of lightening engines or the car will help that, same as any powerful car current or from the past Let’s face it, all the facelift was done for was to beat down Mercedes again to prove a point, you can map a steel block version to 450bhp quite easily and to 500 and beyond with some further outlay, personally the 1st version of this car 2015/2016 is going to be the one that becomes another Quattro legend in the future with so few made

For that price it has got to be an expensive sleeper... For half the price you could buy a GTI Clubsport seen at my channel, that looks way cooler. And the power? I can tell you it has so much power i come home trembling when driving already. Obviously if you want the best you need to pay. Just saying you can have tons of fun as well as enough quality, for so much less... Just remember this when paying for your RS3 - In the end it will rust, just like any other car.

I remember reading the Autocar first test of the RS3 and they were getting high 3s for the 0 - 60 time. The test surface was allowing some wheel spin and they said this helped the engine stay on strong boost. Also on another channel, a stripped out S3 with mods did 0 - 60 in 3.5 on wet surface. So maybe some wheel slip on launch is a help?

mr Heisenberg agreed, but it’s difficult to choose a “winner” based off handling. It cannot be quantified. It’s based off how the car “feels” which doesn’t work for a KZitem video, because we (the audience) can only see visual comparisons, and hear difference in sound. Personally, @hampshirephoto I’d love an extra round to be added for ‘Interior’ where you take a proper in-depth look at the interiors of each car and give it a score out of 10. It would also give the audience a chance to see the interiors for ourselves and make a decision on which we prefer.
