I can't make my mind up, I've sold my 335D (remapped) close to 4 months ago and I'm still trying to make my mind up on the next car. My initial thought was Golf R mk7, then to a M135i (2015), then to the M235i (2014) and now a RS3 (2012). I'm now trying to decide if it's the M235i or RS3. I've watched and read plenty of reviews on both cars and my feeling is that the M235i is the better car, but the noise from the 5 cylinder Audi engine is something else. Anybody driven these cars and able to cast some sort of light on my situation please?

This is simple you need to drive them yourself on the same day, as no amount of opinions on here will tell you which one you'll enjoy being behind the wheel of.

I'd pick the RS3 but that's because I've driven both & the RS3 is more special if a little easy to make good progress with & the M235i wasn't that much fum when pressing on & then there's the RS3's engine.

Ye I know, gotta try and see what I like. Just wanted to gauge the average petrol head's opinion instead of a more skilled ex racing driver turned reviewer's opinion.
