How much acceleration do you really need?
Discussion
I've been considering a new car. Looked at everything from an S500 to an RS3. Part of me wants luxury and comfort, part wants nimble and aggressive speed.
But I floored my GTI earlier (new tyres) and it shifted pretty well. Officially the 0-60 is something like 6.2s. I questioned what I'd ever do with a car that can do it in, say, 3.9s. I also wondered whether I'd scare myself and/or develop silly habits.
Anyone else been through this?

Yes the RS3 is difficult to discount - that rare blend of understated appearance and ferocious performance - yet it doesn't have the cachet of, say, an S500, nor the indulgent luxury.
Partly comes down to what you'll do with it. I'm hardly going to race others on my way to work but AD to Dubai and back in a day, for instance, would be great in a status barge.

Do I indeed?!
A day at the huge Sharjah car souk can be an effective remedy for itches that need scratching. You often find that a few quick test drives and those itches don't return.
I'm sitting tight for the Mk 8 Golf R - with a sly eye on whatever Polestar come out with on the EV front.
