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
