Thrills meet daily usability in these upmarket, four-wheel-drive rocketships. But would you choose the Audi RS3 or the BMW M240i?
Performance, ride, handling, refinementBMW M2
There’s a big difference in the way these cars sound, though. Very unusually, the RS3’s 2.5-litre petrol engine has five cylinders, and they help to give it a particularly distinctive voice. In fact, the offbeat warble sounds like nothing else on the road . Our only complaint is that, when it’s left in auto mode, there’s often a lengthy delay between you flooring the accelerator and the engine and gearbox communicating with one another to deliver serious forward thrust. This is less of an issue in the M240i, which responds to kickdown requests promptly.
The M240i’s steering is heavier and quicker as you wind on the first few centimetres of lock. You might think those are positive attributes in a sporty car, but you don’t get quite the same sense of connection with the front wheels as you do in the RS3 – especially when you’re trying to hold the car on a set trajectory through a corner.
