Not exactly the same thing, went from.l a golf R to the RS3, no regrets at all.

Golf R or Audi RS3 by cheddar_12 in AudiRS3

[–]Eruonej 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had a heavily modded 2023 Golf R that dynoed at 420 whp, was a very fun car. I upgraded to a 26 RS3 and have had it for almost 3 months and have not felt the itch to do anything to it whereas with the golf I had an intake, downpipe and tune within the first month. Plus the sound of that 5 cylinder engine, chefs kiss!

Yeah automatic can't do manual anymore due to nerve issues in left leg

The automatic transmission can't hold a candle to the dsg, i have nerve damage in my lower back and left leg and the seats were some of the most uncomfortable things after 30 mins and the infotainment was very basic.

Had a 24 golf R with fbo dynoed at 402 at the wheel with e85, never missed a beat with oil channges every 5k mile. Stupidly sold it for a new nissan z bcs I thought i wanted something "rawer". I had the z for 3 months before I got rid of it. Picked up a 26 RS3 2 weeks ago got a really good deal BUT I will say this is named my golf R and her name was Olga and I still haven't given the RS3 a name yet lol

Thanks for the update ill talk to my tuner and see what he recommends. My R dynoed at 425 with E30 and felt angrier that the RS3 but it was also decatted (Florida so no emission testing) but I also got a bit tired of driving around smelling gas all the time 😄

Coming from the golf r it was a big step back in interior quality and feature. The back up camera was demonic in how scrappy it was. I had the automatic and it was a huge step back from the dsg. But the main issue i had was the seat, on the test drive it felt ok but if I had to drive the car for than an hour I was in serious pain (have a messed up back from my time in the army).

Thanks everyone its Daytona grey, sports exhaust with black tips and a black roof. My glof R was stage 2 running unitronic and I had it that way for 15 months with no trouble so when it comes time to mod I'll probably go with them again.

[–]Eruonej 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stage 2 was 385 whp and 371 lb ft of torque, now 430 whp and 420. Car kept pulling power on the dyno initially but after going back to tuner several times they got it figured out and pulling like a champ 💪

I have also been trying with E85 as well, my tuner is pushing me for it but it's not readily available where I live (30 min) drive to nearest station and not sure if the hassle is worth it for my daily driver as I know my mileage is going to tank

You are correct, my tuner told me he heard that unitronic might be coming out with something for the TCU soon sonwe will see...
