My S1 was in for an oil change service inc haldex oil, so took the opportunity to test the dealers RS3 facelift Sportback. Rate of accellaration was good though I’m spoilt by my TVR which is vicious on full throttle /dry tarmac. What surprised me the most was that the RS3 felt a lot more composed on the local rippled fluctuating camber roads than my S1 does. Some on my local roads are hard to traverse at speed in dynamic on the S1 as it just leaps from dip to crest (on 18” wheels) , the RS3 just flowed down them. The sales lass thought it didn’t think have the magnaride option so just on simple springs/dampers, I suspect she was right as the car was in dynamic mode which if think if magnaride is on will default to stiffest if not fiddled with (I could be wrong). Any way up shot is tempted to do a swap next year . My S1 is now entering its 4th year so due a change in 2018 as pcp will be up. In other notes my S1 engine felt a lot smoother post service even though it hadn’t done a huge amount of miles since the last change 1year ago! Which makes me think I wouldn’t want to run it on mileage based oil changes only.
