For the same price, 4wd, tft dash, led headlights, optional CERAMICS, and a bunch of nice colors, optional painted calipers, and a great looking interior. ( OK, optioned out, more expensive, but not by much) Handling dynamics will be a deciding factor - I'm not necessarily thinking of picking an rs3 over an m2, they might make nice stable mates.
Same price? Check out the as-tested price of the S3...more than a base M2.
