I know the Quattro is supposed to be more lively than the standard Haldex in the R/S3 but I would still prefer a true AWD drivetrain.

Anyway, the M2 is leagues ahead of the Golf R I owned as far as being a driver's car. I can't see the RS3 being better in that respect. The Audi does sound very nice and has a nice interior, I will give it that.
The RS3 has the same AWD system that's in the S3 and GoRf. It's Haldex. "quattro" is just Audi's marketing wank for "AWD car," it doesn't necessarily mean gear/Torsen-based system.

I'm an IT guy by trade and tech nerd by choice.
I like HPDEs, parts of US Hwy 129, NC 28, and the Cherohala Skyway.
I'm also a fan of aural pleasure.
