Being in the motor trade, and lucky to experience driving lots of different cars, I did look at buying an RS3. Quick when standard, brutally fast when tuned, but just so boring, too safe, too numb, no soul. Looked at an A45S, and felt the same vibe. These are the sort of cars, you can launch 0-60 in under 4 seconds, with one hand on the wheel, using zero skill. For posers who can't actually drive very well, a car which does everything for you, and flatters you, and will allow you to feel smug beating every other hot hatch from a set of traffic lights. I ended up buying an M140i and upgrading it with thousands spent on parts. It was a brilliant, fun, exciting, unpredictable, straight line missile, death trap. No matter how much I spent, the chassis would always be a 118i m sport underneath. Finally ended up with an OG M2. What a car ! Slower than an RS3, A45S, or tuned M140i in a straight line, but superb steering, superb ride/handling, superb balanced chassis, superb corning, and just the best feeling of driving pleasure I have ever had from any car.

Good choice. This new RS3 is a ridiculous price, and although the five cylinder engine is excellent, its overpriced. Thats Audi for you though. They know most will pay 1000 a month on a PCP deal to show off, they will never own it. Audi aren’t bothered so long as they know you have to trade it in for something else or lose all the money you paid into it. People are such mugs. Before PCP existed, the only people driving expensive cars were those who could genuinely afford to buy them. I dont look twice at anyone in a so called premium car anymore.
