    The S3 is quick, but $4,000 still doesn't get you a firing order of 1-2-4-5-3 and the phenomenal sound that accompanies it. Glad I made the switch.

    Exactly. When it comes to the main bits, S3's are just VW Golfs in different skin. The S3 (and Golf R and even the GTI) is fantastic, and it's pretty quick with just bolt-ons, but there's no one on the planet who'd ever consider an S3 if that 5-pot upgrade were legitimately in their budget. And Audi knows the value of that engine, too, which is why they said no when VW came knocking asking to put it in the MK8 R. My only two gripes with the RS3 are that (1) we don't get the sportback in the states, and (2) we don't get a no-sunroof option in the states. Both of those issues can be remedied with a Golf R, but then of course you still lose the 12453.

    I told you a few days ago, You can't sit on launch control for too long or it bogs down. By the way I owned a tuned S3 before my current RS3. The S3 has immensely better midrange and response than the RS3 but the RS3 has much better top end. My S3 APR stage 1(12.5@110), stage 2 (12.2@114). my RS3 stock (11.703 with traps of 117-119 mph) with a Uni E-85 tune 11.1@127 mph. For daily driver in traffic or twists the S3 Stage 2 outshines the RS3(Stock), on straight line acceleration the RS3 is the winner.

We would have to go and compare the specs and see what car and driver, road and track and motor trend says. when I said that the S3 feel better on the twists is because I am referring to the midrange response. What makes the RS3 more planted according to you? RS3 comes with Pirelli P zeros, the S3 had Bridgestone if I remember right. The magnetic ride from Audi in my opinion is horrible, too clunky, I rather have the tradicional strut/shock with the firm springs from factory. The low profile tires on both S3/RS3 makes the magnetic ride worst.

    In my opinion it would have made a lot more sense to spend the $1500 on an intercooler upgrade over the carbon Fiber intake. Modify the stalk box (as seen in many videos posted on KZread ), upgrade the silicone hose and add the inlet elbow for $200. It was definitely heat soaking . Not to mention adding an aftermarket exhaust which would increase top End Performance for the S3 . The S3 Unitronic stage 2 TCU and ECU should be much closer if not beaten the RS3.

    I said this in the chat but I'm sure it was lost. Going forward, please don't try to brake boost on VW/Audi cars in anything other than Sport/Dynamic mode. When you're in the correct mode, you have to jab the throttle really quickly, otherwise the ECU gets confused (stock and otherwise). In short, please stop doing brake boost in comfort/normal and you have to add throttle like you mean it. This isn't intuitive but that's how VW/Audi does it. The only times RS3 lost is when it didn't build boost properly. It's a quick car (11.8-12.2) typically depending on weather conditions.

Whilst waiting for the dealer to get hold of their inbound RS3, also gave an S3 & S4 a chance too. Was not... impressed, which merely puts me back to square one. They were "nicer" and certainly better-equipped... probably faster too, in certain environs. But the "feeling" was off, if that makes any sense. Numb, even vs. my routine commute efforts. Edit: I'm a QV owner. It's got plenty of ownership faults (to be sure), but it's drivability is so far ahead of anything I took the fam in today. Maybe I should stop comparing the next car to how the AR runs. Because it's not even the same language. 🙄

    Agreed. My car is trying to avoid any aggressive anything in comfort mode. Auto in my car is way better. It will stay in comfort mode until you are obviously requesting more from it. It doesn't switch to sport, but it does alter the car because the input you are giving it is letting it know that this is not a normal request. Comfort doesn't care what you ask for and will do it's best to stop any aggressive downshifting or acceleration. Since a lot of competitors don't really offer such a mode, it's best to replace it with auto when it comes to comparisons.

Thing is, I’ve seen stock RS3’s from the US do 11.7-12 seconds in the quarter mile and some have gotten 12.4 from different parts of the world and that’s not even considered the opf (carwow did. a race between a non-opf and one with opf and they were the same), also Carwows leaderboard shows that the Mk8 Golf R does about the same times as the RS3 (also I’m referring to the facelift RS3 in all of this).
