I noticed a few of the initial launch 'testers' when they were trying the 'Torque rear' mode on the wet surface in Greece getting their technique wrong and just ploughing straight on, also popped up in I think on one of Joe Achillies video's where he said something like 'must be something on the road there' as he had an understeer moment, both of those rang the 'alarm bell' in my head that the Magna diff (software) isnt quite all it's made out to be.
I say 'Software' as I test drove (twice) a Mk8 Golf R with the 'same' hardware, now that car (from memory) gave me so much confidence to grab it by the scruff of the neck and chuck it about like I 'stole it' .................the same confidence that the RS3 has never instilled in me.
I also remember 'Car' magazines short take on the 8V, something along the lines of 'Not involving to drive, dont be ashamed to want one, buy a Golf R instead' I wonder just how long before that stuff comes out again?
Hamza hasa back to back Youtube of 8Y RS3/Golf8R, he descibes the RS3 as had too much caffeine and the 8R certianly puts a bigger smaile on his face
