If you have the chance to go to the RS3, do it. It is the pinacle of the 3 series platform. If you like your S3, the RS takes it a step further. Coming from a B8.5 S4 and driven S3’s, there is something about the RS that you can’t get with the S3 or any S car for that matter. You only live once...

Do you miss the B8.5 S4's supercharger / zero lag? What is it about the RS3 that encouraged you to give up an already great (IMHO) car? TIA.

There is only one answer to that question - yes.

As a quiet 53yo business guy, I have to say the sport exhaust is mandatory and the sport seats are good.
