New A3 arrives this year, with the S3 and RS3 to follow. I'd skip Mk7 based cars right now.

I drive a Mk7.5 GTI, and we test drove an RS3 last year, it's fun, but like said above, Haldex still understeers and doesn't really ever get to a power induced oversteer state unless you're really being silly, I can't see a point in non track related driving that you could induce oversteer.

My main beef with it was the size. The sedan is stupid. If we got the hatch, we'd have likely considered it more seriously. The sedan is cramped, kinda plain looking and as said above, fairly low rent. There are pics on Autoblog today of the new S3 interior and it looks much better, but it will still be Golf based and a little low rent compared to the A4 based cars.
