I'm sick of these track comparisons to be honest, lets see some real world results. The M2 has got it beat in exterior/interior quality, sound, looks, feel, power, etc. Okay, the RS wins in utility 
Hell, I bet currently the M2 is cheaper than the RS! With Ford's ridiculous $5-$10k markups they about equal out in price.
Ford has been really hyping up and marketing this car aggressively, I would honestly take the Golf R over the RS. |
I've driven the Golf R too, talk about boring, though it does have a great manual gearbox.
