To be an S car the Audi should really have more power. You will get that in the RS3 of course, but speculation is that is going to be a $70k car real world.

I came from Audi as well and was always underwhelmed when cross shopping the s3 to the 2 series.
I'm on my 2nd two series: m235i and now an m240i. Every time I test drove the s3 before getting the bmw and it just didn't feel special. The sound from the extra two cylinders alone made the m240i much more appealing |
The RS3 is a much better car vs the S3
That Turbo charged Inline 5 is a little beast
