No Way Jose!!
Drove one today and VERY disappointed.
1-interior no better except newer
2-steering ***** - like NO feel and turn wheel and there's a curious "ah - turning - ah - oh yeah! better get into it" feeling - wow - you feel like you are a degree of seperation away from the front wheels. Nice and light for parking though! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh_roll.gif
3-stunningly smooth DSG - very clever bit of kit that, but also distances you from the driving experience - give me a six speed manual with clutch any day - hey my S3's got one of those! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
4-my chipped S3's quicker and it FEELS it /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beerchug.gif
5-the ride was aweful - jiggly and nervous around town although better at speed.
6-much improved refinement (=less involvement too though)
Roll on the RS3 6sp manual is all I can say at present.
Cheers
