Someone mentioned in a post that the A3 1.8 T-Sport Quattro is a heavy car.
Is it heavier than the S3 quattro?

No, S3 has extra wieght from

Recaros
extra intercooler
bodykit
heavier (bigger) brakes

The QS is still a heavy car though, isnt it high 1300kg's!

Yeah, she's a pie eater.....

But then again, it handles very well, and you have the benefit of the Quattro, so not all points down.
