I'm also taller than you are, and stopped at the S4 instead of the S3. Part of that is size, and part is I prefer the dynamics you get with a the AWD systems that come with longitudinal setups rather than transverse. The Golf R/S3 always felt a little too much like FWD cars to me, but I suspect they've made massive strides there with the recent iterations of their AWD setups.

I look at the RS3 and really wonder if that's something I should be attempting to squeeze into one day, because that thing must be a blast.
As a fellow tall person, is what I'm saying off base or is it reasonable? I can't wrap my hear around how nik and AssSticks think I'm fabricating some weird "tall" tale.
