RS3 all day long,I've driven all them in the list and as an everyday all round car the RS3 8v is the winner.

Same here RS3 all day everyday.

And it's nice to have the Golf GTD as an alternative (goes like stink handles like its on rails and DSG to boot)

current market, as both have said above... RS3

 

But there are plenty of cars I would choose as a second as Sean has done, and probably get a GTD also.

 

If I wasn't looking in a sporting/RS-ish direction, some kind of SUV.. interested in the new Q5 diseasel when it comes out, or Jag F-Pace diseasel and probably test drive them both at around the same time.

Well i probably couldve guessed this outcome posting on an RS3 forum! But i think i agree for me personally the RS3 is the best as well, fast as hell looks the nuts sounds even better and its still a family hatchback! Plus where i live on a small island with almost exclusively B and some nice A roads about the size of the other 3 mainly the 6 and 7 would just be too much. I see some new A6 drivers struggling around town

Plus, with an RS3 youd have over 10k money left over to play with

but they don't account for owners by weight - or do VW secretly size you up on the way in and go "Oh near, no Santiago for you" LOOOOOL

Well i think youve definitely got a fair bit if experience then! Well as i think youve commented on before, i live in the Isle of wight so a little hatchback is perfect for me really, lots of windy little roads that need a nimble car ideally. Which is the RS3 to a T. Blisteringly quick but small and nimble, the RS6/7 are like boats in comparison and the R8 isnt far off.

RS6 all day long and purely because I couldn't get away with an R8 with kids and camera boxes.

RS6 for me. With lowering springs and a proper 4 wheel alignment it no longer handles like a boat (the ones on air are more boat like).

 

Why no RS4 on the list?

Only reason no RS4 is mainly because its the slowest and if i wanted an estate id go RS6, plus the RS6 to me, is just a better version of the RS4 bigger badder and beefier

See i love the RS3 and it would orobably be the best choice in value/performance and for my location but then RS6 cause its a bloody beast as well as practical but then also R8 cause if you strecthed a little past 60k you cpuld get a facelift V10 with s tronic and just... its an R8.
They all have the performance but the R8 really is a supercar. You see it and its a supercar you drive it down the street and everyone sees it as a supercar. Even the original V8 thats now like 40k still has pure presence.

Also with the RS6 its similar to the RS3 in terms of blistering performance (more than any other with only a couple k bringing it to over 700bhp) and then also has fantastic practicality. Only issue id feel with it is he pure size of it. But then ive never been in a new A6 let alone driven one, it may feel different once inside. Damn these hypothetical decisions! :(

I love my RS3, but would swap it for an RS6 in a heartbeat.

Only problem is, I wouldn't be able to. My drive isn't that big and would be a struggle to park it on. There's no way I'd park it on the street. So for me to get an RS6 we'd have to move. You reckon the wife would go for that? 😂


There's nothing else out there that I'd trade for. I couldn't bring myself to buy a mundane everyday car, it would kill me. I've only ever bought the top dog of the model I've wanted. Wouldn't feel right knowing there's a model above mine! 😂😂
