Just some rivalry banter...

2 awesome cars inho. Can't really think of anything bad to say about either one.

One quicker on the straight, the other better around a track.

Both great brands.

World would be so sad had there not been competition, and these 2 offer great competition.

all the cars listed above are surely great in there own way, this discussion can go back nd forth all day and i might have been wrong to bash at the RS3 :sorry: even though i still believe its not in the league of a 1M... But at the end of it all, its just down to personal preference and what makes u feel good.

From all the above, if you want a car you can put your girlfriend in and she'll be able to go as fast as you can in a straight line, get the RS3, when you attack a set of bends and come away unflustered and almost let down, the car you will be in will be the RS3. As stated already, if you wanna be king of the 1/4 mile, get the RS3, use launch control, and post brilliant times over and over and over again, it is faster than the 1M in a straight line this we know.

BUT, if you want a car that takes your breath away everytime you attack a set of twisty's, makes you feel a part of it, an extension of the car itself, put's a massive smile on your face just because of how it makes you feel, need's a certain amount of driving capability to extract the most out of it, a car that you drive in the deepest sense of the word, that car, my friend's, will be the 1M!!!!!:praise::praise:

Thanks Josh!:thumbs: all this nonsense talk about 1/4 mile times made me actually forget that the 1M is actually quicker when you already running!!!

With all due respect, I love it how guys always talk about the bend and race track when most of owners can't even do a proper wheel spin off the launch...

And I know must performance car buyer, what's the first thing they look at? I'm pretty sure is 0-100km time... highly doubt is how many G's it generates from the drift:fencelook:

For me it comes down to this:
Want to drive a car that's meant to be driven and feel like a driver? Buy a 1M.
Want to drive a car that feels like you are being chauffeured? Buy an RS3/GTi

1M adds the extra perception of involvement when it comes to the manual gearbox. It just cant be a more complete experience.

It's not just the manual gearbox, it's the feel of steering wheel, the feeling in your back side and the feedback you get from the car. I'm sorry, but even a new 330d or 328i just lacks all of this. And a AWD is just, uhm a FWD with AWD that kicks in when the front wheels start to spin.
:sorry:
