Doesn't seem like times have changed. Audi's still plagued by understeer.

Ugh...
Really?! Look, Tiff (Tiffany?) is a GREAT driver, no doubt, but his personality is... how should I put it... unique.
There's just something off about the guy. He's not entertaining to listen to or watch. Now, Vicki Butler-Henderson, that's a person that's easy to listen to and watch. Also, I think Top Gear has found the right balance between reviews/showcases and pure entertainment. Mr. Clarkson would never consider the 1M coupe a hatchback... |

Also, the 1M has already been compared to the TTRS and has outperformed it in certain areas search is your friend. |

I have yet to see a 1M in the flesh, but based on reviews alone I would take that over both the TTRS and the S3. I wish I was at a different point in my life that I could actually afford a 1M, but being in school still kind of hampers that. |

Lovin' my "little one" more every day. Shame it's winter up here at Santa land, so she'll have to take a beauty sleep until spring.
I just wish I could drive it like Mark Higgins does or Tiff for that matter |

Same engine as the TT RS. Comparisons have already been done against the TT RS. EVO did a 4-way comparison of the 1M, Cayman R, TT-RS and 370Z. The TT-RS came in dead last on track and road. Bedford autodrome track times (top speed): Cayman R - 125.5 (106.8 mph) 1M - 1.25.9 (106.4 mph) 370Z - 1.27.1 (104 mph) TT RS - 1.27.3 (107.0 mph) Final conclusion: 1M - 5 stars Cayman R - 5 Stars 370Z - 4.5 Stars TT RS - 4 Stars EVO picked the 1M as the winner for "setting a new benchmark for only-car, multi-purpose, real-life ability and desirability". I've owned both Audis and BMWs and love both marques. The only times Audi's commercial 'S' & 'RS' divisions have come close to BMW's 'M' division were the B5 S4 and the B7 RS4. Every other 'S' and 'RS' car has been a 'close-but-no-cigar'.

Audi is an poser car, the one you buy and shows to the entire world, that you don't have a clue-garbage!
1M for the win!
