From Edition 30 to S3

<< < (2/2)

Gaz:
Im doing the opposite, going from a stage 2+ S3 to a stage 2+ Edition 30!

The S3 was awesomely quick, but it almost felt too sensible with it. I much prefer FWD as a drivers car and for some fun- i want a fight with it!  :driver:

Quattro struggled with the power sometimes, it would sometimes step the rear end out but not in a good way as you never know when it will do it as its constantly changing with the Haldex control.

I also didnt like the steering, i think it was the adaptive steering where it was light sometimes and heavier others. Just doesnt do anything for your confidence.

Edition 30 is a more straight forward car, no haldex deciding whats happening or trying to catch you out and no stupid power steering. In FWD im much more confident!

Have you noticed anything like that?

Paradox1:
may depend on how hard you drive the car. not in a straight line, i mean how fast your looking to take a bend and unsettle the car etc.

I know what you mean about quattro feeling too safe. a bit like training wheels. dont get me wrong its still an amazing car, i guess it just come downs to preference.

I wouldnt turn down an S3 but id would prefer fwd for spirited driving
