@bahae eddine I didn't said that, but the RS3 is a very nice daily driver AND track car for the weekend. If you use it that way, the 8Y is the best choice of these three. And how many people bought an M2 for the track? You see them quiet often on track. The RS3 8Y is equivalent with tracktimes to the M2. You also see many Porsche Cayman GT4 on track, also in the same times as the RS3 8Y. Even a new Audi R8 is "only" around 5 seconds faster on the nürburgring, the 2013 R8 V10 Plus (525 HP) is 5 seconds slower than the RS3 8Y. So yes, it's a perfect car for track AND daily. Not many cars are that fast on track and totally functional with size of the trunk and so on.

@xIcarus227

6 ай бұрын

I agree, the 8Y is much better handling and it's a car I'd actually consider, unlike the 8V which was on my list when I bought my last car and I just couldn't justify it because of how poorly it handled. Same story with the TTRS, beside the fact that it lacked some very obvious options (no memory seats? seriously?) The only problem with this car is that, as most reviewers have noted, it feels 'synthetic'. The fundamentals of the car are flawed, and there's enough patchwork and trickery that it becomes apparent. But it's not meant to be a pure driving machine, it's a hot hatch after all. "You also see many Porsche Cayman GT4 on track, also in the same times as the RS3 8Y." Pretty sure you got it confused with something else, like a Cayman S. The GT4 is about 20s faster on the Nordschleife which is in a completely different league. Regardless, track times shouldn't matter for most people as they'll never go anywhere near those times. You get shamed by experienced drivers in a Miata for a long time until you learn to drive on a track properly anyway, so you might as well get something that can take track use without falling apart.

The 8V saloon,(that unfortunately isn't in the race) is still the best looking of all in my opinion. The 8P just looks old in my eyes, and the ne new 8Y looks like a toy car. The 8V looks agressive but still kind of under the radar/classy. Edit: It also obviously sounds the best. The 8V pre OPF/PPF is the king of all RS3s in my opinion. But you can also see that in the used car prices, at least here in germany. A 2017/2018 RS3 without a PPF goes for a lot more than a 2019 model with a PPF even though its newer, since nobody wants the RS3 with the PPF.
