It did a couple of things that I imagine all RS3's do, on kick down 'went into neutral, screamed it's head off' mine will do that, almost as if you catch the gearbox napping, my Golf R didnt do that, Stops pretty good, that'll be the wider fronts then

it isn't napping, it does it to build boost before re-engaging the clutch to give you a rolling launch effect with max accel, feels quick when it goes albeit with a very slight delay.
not ideal in that situation on a car wow race, but that's how the race is set up. I'd be in manual a few lower gears on the road at that point.

If you drive something like a BMW M2 DCT you start to realise what a POS the Audi/VW STronic/DSG is......................It's gearchange is slow/does'nt happen when requested in Manual mode which make it nigh on impossible to guesstimate when to pull the '+' paddle if trying for a 1st/2nd gear change, you either get it too early or too late and end up with a rpm limiter cut, iv'e given up trying the 1st-2nd in manual mode on hard acceleration

So I’ve owned an 8v RS3, M2C and now the 8Y. I can concur the M2C box imo felt far more responsive etc.

However the DSG in our S3 rev matches on the way down and is smooth on the way up which is great.
This was something that annoyed me with DCT in that M1 was smooth up (and give a nice exuast pop) but you could only get rev-matching on the way down if you were in M2 or M3. M2 or M3 is too aggressive on the way up and chirps the TC all the time.

Yeah I think the RS3 box (I know it’s different to the S3) is a better box for day to day.
I had my 8v mapped to stage 1 but didn’t hang onto it long enough to get the box mapped. Looking forward to doing this in the 8Y.

Our @Snake Pliskin Glen didn't want to offend other RS3 8y owners/Brag about ditching his 8Y for a true performance car such a Gentleman he is NevAwesome mate, and loving the “floret” vibe. Is that GT Silver Metallic? More pics please, and where is your thread?

It is bizarre that prospective RS3 owners are having to wait 18+ months in many cases, probably longer than Porsches lists in many cases

Yeah as Jassy says I went under the radar with this one - I took delivery around the time when many who had been waiting ages for an 8Y were in limbo or even had deposits refunded. As you say its crazy how the RS3 can be in such short supply. I'm glad I had an opportunity to try out an 8y so I will never be left wondering what if.
I've definitely got that 'every drive feels special' feel back again as I had with my 8v and the paint I'm sure is exactly the same as floret. Yes it is GT silver. I made my mind up on day 1 I was going that colour. I'm looking forward to some decent weather so I can enjoy it properly.

Good review for the RS3, I didn’t think it would be that close. Especially when they rolled the M2 out on Cup 2’s.
