My bro in law has a 2017 audi tt not a a tts or a ttrs just the tt with a stage one map and it can pull 0-60 in the late 3s ... 3.9s i havent been in rs3 mate but been in same age s3 and 335d the bmw beat it and by 60mph on left it went off the clock may be same bhp but diesel has more torque plus is automatic mate Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Even when you have the auto's in manual mode they are still governed by the parameters they are set too, they are not truly manual. I'm not knocking the bmws I've looked at the 335s myself they are a good motor and they are quick for sure. That said if I go for an estate I'd be looking at the s4 avant I think but thats just personal preference there really Isn't that much between any of these motors nowadays. The new golf R statistically is a right weapon but dull as dishwater imo I'm sure some would disagree ,ce la vie Quote Link to post Share on other sites

About 6-7 year ago I had a Megane Sport and a lad I know let me have a go in the RS and we took both down the bypass, tbh the car wasn't pulling as much from the Megane has I thought. Felt nowhere near as quick as the M2 I drove last year, now that was rapid. Edit- It was the 2nd gen as well which was much faster than the 1st gen, the lad who's a plumber now owns a Nissan GTR, they are different gravy. Them GTRs are a different league. Unreal cars. Dream car for me 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
