I,m in a good position to buy any of the 2 cars below ,it will get modded ,slowly in time ,map first then take it from there ,which one would you choose .also getting a better trade in deal with the golf-r... Used Cars :: TrustGroup
It depends on what you want,and how far you want to go.
The ultimate potential of the 2.5 engine has to be greater,but both Revo and APR appear to be having trouble getting over 500bhp from it,and the 2.0 will easily run that and more currently.
Hi alex i dont want to go crazy spending as much as i did on my s3 ,but the rs3 is a lovely car ,but will defo need some mods to get the best from it..i drove one last week and felt a bit let down ,even with the 335bhp its has on tap , plus it was the first dsg i have driven as i,ve always had manuals...
I would not even have a thought about having golf R over RS3! This V5 is one of the best engines Audi ever produced so far and you dont need much money to get it over 400bhp whilst golf R is basically the same car you had but different shell. Go and get yourself a proper V5 beast and you will love it all day long:]

That makes it an easier choice.....400+bhp on the RS is easy,and not too costly,whereas on the Golf R,you're looking at a BT kit.
Once you get into the 500bhp bracket,things get more difficult,as you're into BT kits or hybrids for the RS,and serious costs,but with a question mark over how much can be had from the RS.

i dont think the rs3 is a v5 its a inline 5 and if your going on looks i think the golf looks better but saying that the 2.5 sounds epic and i see more rs3's than golf r's so i think id go and test drive both but the golf r got it on looks

Test drove the standard rs3 last week ,was disappointed in the power ,was in a modded golf-r last week ,running about 380bhp ,that was great .. Hurdy's Golf .:R

Rs3 too smooth not exciting enough... I test drove an s3 and found obviously quicker than mine but very smooth so maybe didn't feel as quick. Mate used to have an escort cosworth pushing 428 bhp and the delivery was so laggy but when it came in my god the pull was incredible

It's always difficult comparing modded with stock,especially as the RS3 is heavier than the Golf R,and down on power compared to the modded car you were in.
Even two cars with equal bhp can feel different according to the mapping,and power/torque delivery.
Hi alex ,they have a rs3 in this week for a map ,fmic few other bits ,will have to check out ,whats going on,on fb.. ohh and there mk5 golf rs3 project Statller Golf RS project
No comparison in my eyes John.....RS3 all the way. Now if you had said S3 or Golf R then thats a little more difficult seeing as they are the same platform.

I wondered if it might be,as both JC's and Pov's cars aren't running that sort of power currently,and despite having a car in the US apparently capable of 600bhp,APR don't seem to have been able to repeat that over here,with either of those cars.....so far....JC's engine is being rebuilt,and a lot of parts remade.
There's a lot of talk and hype,but no substance right now.
If I was spending that kind of cash, i'd be taking my money for a stroll down the road to Harrogate.
I walk past an R quite often and it doesn't have the presence of an RS. I like the dark grey RS at Leeds better tho, despite owning a white car. Lack of power can be fettled to meet your needs (to a degree) but you can't add a 5 cylinder burble to a golf. I would buy the RS in a flash as I love the n o i s e !!!
I didnt mean to buy and run it only just to buy it :icon_thumright:. Running it is a different story 700 per service every 6 months not to mention tyres and brake pads/discs cost. Would be sweet to own one one day though
A Golf R is essentially an S3 with a Golf plonked on top. I've been in both (S3 and Mk6 Golf) and there is a difference in build quality albeit marginal. The RS is a bespoke package, a specialist car and a Specialâ car. No brainer really...?
EDIT: Kel, buy the RS, put MTMs back on it and sell me the 19" rotors!
