The fun of the RS3 is straight line only and the unique sound of the 5-cyl. You can save a lot of money and get a Golf R which is still very quick in a straight line but handles better because it's using the same AWD system and doesn't carry as much weight over the front end. The bonus is that it's a hatchback with better utility and looks a lot better than the current RS3 and it's completely black plastic front end. There aren't a lot of vehicles these days that provide bang for buck value but the Golf R is one of them IMO.
