Any more info on these? I was procrastinating from revising for an exam a week on Thursday so I dropped into my VW garage down the road. Was planning on getting an RS3 when I finish my degree (I'm a mature student), but now thinking about one of these instead.
Dealer had literally no information on them!

Not sure why there's no thank you button in this part of the forum so have a :happy2:
I drove past a Nardo Grey RS3 in a multi storey today - it just looks so mean! Tough decision. I think once I'm willing to put some notes down I'll have to take them both for an extended test drive.

As great as the RS3 sounds with that 5pot (and looks in Nardo Grey :drool:), it doesn't get great reviews compared to the golf platform, despite the £10k+ premium over the R

I imagine that this was something deliberately engineered in by Audi. After all they are exactly the same car on the same MQB chassis. I imagine if I was so inclined it wouldn't be all that difficult to alter the suspension and swing the balance back (though I appreciate you shouldn't have to do that on a car that costs £10k more).
Price is much of a muchness - I reckon the Audi will retain more of its value, so the end result will be almost negligible.
Thing is I'm not going to be driving it as if my hair's on fire so the fact that it's a bit slower on a track is totally irrelevant to me. I think the interior is nicer, and as you say the 5-pot sound. I think it looks better than the Mk7 in general too (no offence to any R owners here but I really dislike the current R's body kit), but the Clubsport swings the balance back towards the Mk7. Plus buckets as an option, which Audi sadly have dropped.
Definitely a first world problem having to choose between the two tho.
