Of course it has fallen into the Audi Trap because in the segment the Audi is noted for it's terrible steering and mediocre handling , putting in a TT RS engine might give it power but the aged chassis might have other things to say. Again it is down to the Rules of BMW M that the standard car has to be really,really good before it is transformed into an M car, the 1er fits that
criteria, Audi A3 less so.
I am interested to see how they will market it and if they do follow the pattern with a personal introduction like the 1M , if they do we can now see how desperately Audi wants to be perceived as BMW.
