M2 or RS3?

Which one for you ?

RS3 certainly sounds better to my ears. AWD and auto box is a no go though for me regardless of everything else. Also I love the hatch, can't get that over here.

Tones sound good on both (RS3 more unique) but pops and cracks have got to go. They sound awful and are even worse when you drive with them on a daily basis.

I can live with the Audi factory pops and Focus RS pops but that M2 is just way too much. Sounds like a popcorn maker.

Agreed that traction mode pops / farts are borderline comical, but the pops in sport mode don't sound that bad.

That Audi 5-pot sounds heavenly at all speeds. Pretty stout motor, theyre in the 9s now:
