With snow tires my car was a breeze in the winter. I remember seeing an article a few years back where they said an AWD car was slower around a course on snow than the RWD.

Also guys, 9% price increase and BMW give us a real S coded engine, proper sport seats etc. totally a fair price. We all should be glad this product ain't just some midlife cosmetic facelift! |

You can't see it anyway. They do it to mitigate understeer (and it works) and it's somehow weird yet every M car or AMG pretty much ever has the opposite to mitigate oversteer, and that's totally fine . No they did that already. Like less than a year ago. |

Look at track times on fastest laps.
RS3 is a great car, but with most of the weight in front and transverse engine mount, that's the reason why they put wider tires in front, and the handling is not m2 fun. here's an explanation and fair review from carlos lagos for the ttrs which is the same chassis.

He also said he preferred the Golf R to the Civic Type R but as a Golf R owner that didn't stop me from putting a deposit on a Civic Type R. I respect his opinion but I don't buy cars for the same reason he does as we don't have those nice windy, smooth British roads here and I don't live at the track.

C&D picked the RS3 for the top ten list over the TTRS for a few reasons (including better weight distribution and more secure handling), and the TTRS does not have the staggered setup either. Quote:

My 2015 981 was ~85K MSRP. Now I didn't pay that much, but there's definitely "something" to the way that Porsche options out their cars that you see on lots....
