Loved them both. M3 better for track, better handling. Audi is more forgiving, great for everyday use. They said they'd have both. Love the footage, such a amazing cars. |

The m3 seems to be quite engaging and fun to drive. The RS4 is definitely benefiting from the Quattro technology as it has traction from all 4 wheels and easily steers into the corner, and out as well. Nice video.

RS: glued to the road due Quattro. Perfect traction. Easy to drive. M: oversteer in corners due RWD. Sliding. Very engaging to drive. I can't imagine same person enjoying both concepts. Driving the RS is like playing a video game - great excitement of having everything under control. Driving the M is a hard & engaging yet very enjoyable work. Like two different horses: both very fast & controllable. Yet one (RS) very disciplined & easy to control, while the other is wild & you have to work hard to control him. |

I play Project Gotham Racing which is all about driving fast but in style by sliding through corners and having fun. That's why the M3 suits me better. The RS4 seem to be like Gran Turismo, very technical, fast but not a lot of play. ![]() |
