As the title suggets and a little background first.
I drove the Golf 8R with magna diff and complained on the VWROC forum that I couldnt find the switch to turn the ESC into either 'Sport' or 'Off' I found the car holding back and eventually saw the TC/ESC light flashing at me, I got a fair few negative comments like 'shouldnt be driving like that on the road' 'you must be driving like a t*at' and 'no probelm here mate 'she' handles superb'
I eventually found out how to get to it and went back for a second demo drive (solo, no salesman/covid etc) and tried it with the ESC in both Sport and Off.
Wow, the car turned into a weapon and down the 'correct' road very little would hang onto it's shirt tails, just precise and easy.
So, onto the (my) RS3, i'm just starting to push it harder, WTF is the steering trying to do when Dynamic is selected in Performance and Individual modes? I'm sure it's going to put a few into the boonies, I also watched TR Hamza doing a back to back with Golf 8R and describing the RS3 like it's had too much caffeine and th Golf as the easier car to just jump in and push hard.
I selected the steering into 'Balanced' mode which seemed to help but ran out of road before I was 100% sure and the trip back was a no no performance wise as I had a brand new motorcycle tank in the boot which I didn’t want banging around.
My plan was to try Balanced steering and then knock the ESC to either Sport or Off to see what is causing this corner exit fidgeting, any idea's out there ?
