Interesting idea - but if it was priced similar to an RS3 - I'd umm, buy an RS3. :)
The five cylinder sound was worth the coin.

Exactly my thinking, Dutch.
It's a little bit like the Arteon in my head, priced similarly to an Audi A4. VW forget that people shopping in that bracket are likely going to not even consider a VW, let alone one priced close to the RS3 5pot.
At least the Arteon has a bit of presence, whereas perhaps the A4 is a bit conservative (clean and crisp that way I like it, but who is buying base sedans anymore?) but yes, precisely.
Ramping up the power just turns the acceleration into all a bit of a blur and appendage swinging contest.. I'd rather an old school 4.5 second RS4 V8 than a 4.0 second R+ / AMG45. The five cylinder RS3 was another matter. :)
In line with the earlier feed then.Quote:

Now cue the 'my mark <1/2/3/4/5/6/7/7.5> looks way better than this' thread. :)

It will be interesting to see how VW handle over the air updates in Oz.
On the plus side it will detect when the car is entering a testing facility so can flick to the clean tune.
And then void your warranty when you hit the track. :P

How will that happen if VW do not have a connected network in Oz? They certainly have shown no signs of setting one up or have I missed something?
