Back in January, we named Audi's 394bhp RS3 the best hot hatch for daily usability, but now we're putting that verdict to the ultimate test by actually living with one:
You might think that’s a moot question and in some ways it is. But given that we review cars in objective ways relative to their rivals, it’s something we need to consider. Hot hatches have traditionally been highly strung cars with four-cylinder engines that sacrifice some civility in return for thrills on every journey. The RS3’s main rival, thePerformance cars, on the other hand, are supposed to be a bit more grown-up.
In short, you can think of my RS3 as a Carbon Black with the following options added: the Driver Assistance Pack , the Comfort and Sound Pack and RS adaptive suspension with Audi drive select . It also has a sunroof, which you can’t have on the Carbon Black; if you want one of those, you’ll need to go for a Vorsprung.
The only actual option fitted to my car is the rather lovely Python Yellow paint . I reckon it makes the RS3 stand out from common or garden A3s without shouting ‘look at me’ in the more desperate way the luminous Kyalami Green or Turbo Blue colours do.
