Good review, great colour, but like you I am changing from an S3 which is Sepang, so can't go for the same colour again really.

Well done getting the wife involved and on board, I have just ordered it and told her a few days later haha.

Well...what's wrong with sticking with a colour you like... We've had 4 black 8p 2003-2014, a black 8v S3 and black RS3 on order... Simple ..

Similar experience, but his S3 is powered by ABT so doesn't feel too much power difference:

Why would it? It's tuned to the same power

 

[u3sport]

Yes but torque, 2.5, 5 cyl, could make more difference. That 4-cyl is great too.

Torque wise they end up quite close. The 4 cyl takes well to tuning. The 5 cyl tuned would be a whole different ball game however

Tuned S3 feels similar to standard RS3 shocker!

TX.
