Good grief some of these posts... I think those of us that are true enthusiasts recognize how certain cars fit certain people based on where they live and what they want their car to accomplish. Anyway I for one am excited to see the RS3, especially if it comes in hatch form. While RWD is good for the track, a rear biased AWD is best for the wet and snowy roads I drive 70% of the year. There is strong rumor that the RS3 will have adjustable rear torque split. And that 5 cylinder OH YEAH it sounds so good!

I miss my E90 M and it was great on track, but I don't really miss RWD for my driving now. BTW, at the 0:31 and 0:56 marks of this vid, doesn't look like understeer to me. Just because the car isn't smoking a sideways burn doesn't mean it is understeering
