同為澳洲昆士蘭省的作者所寫的兩篇 2016 年款 RS3 vs A45比較文章:

第二篇:

第一篇我節錄的重點:
1. My initial thought was to tell him to go for the RS3, but then I read our own review of the new A45 AMG, first from Europe and then locally. It sounded like it indeed was a lot better, more power and torque, revised suspension and significantly faster acceleration.
But was it ‘better enough’ to beat the RS3? Best to find out.
2. Arguably the fit and finish of the Audi’s interior is better than the Mercedes, as is its general cabin ambience.
3. With its smoother dual-clutch transmission and ride, it’s in traffic that we expected the Audi to justify its purchase as a daily drive over the AMG. And we weren’t disappointed. The RS3 is a genuinely practical car you can drive every day of the week
4. To put both cars to the test, we devised an hour-long traffic loop through Brisbane’s CBD and Fortitude Valley, on a scorching 41-degree Celsius day with 90 per cent humidity in late January – possibly the hottest day of the year in Brisbane.
Both cars were set to Comfort mode and had their air conditioning blasting. After about 20 minutes, the AMG’s engine temperature was sitting noticeably above normal (3/4), even though it was hardly getting out of second gear, while the Audi appeared to have no such temperature issues.
5. The Audi used 3.9 litres of fuel while the Mercedes used 3.88L of fuel. Nearly identical in start-stop traffic.
6. 11m turning circle
第二篇:
The overall sharpness and general agility of the A45 was a whole level above the RS3. The brakes provided extreme stopping force and the corners were conquered with such fanaticism and ease that it made us question our particular RS3 test car’s state of being (which Audi later fixed with a brake fluid change which improved the stopping power noticeably, but still not the same level as the AMG).
Perhaps it would be best to say that everything felt as though it happened at 1.25x speed in the AMG with less effort than the RS3.
If it was my money, I would have to really dig deep to pick the A45 over the RS3, simply because I adore the exterior styling and exhaust note of the Audi, despite knowing full well that, ultimately, the Mercedes is the better car when it comes to being a super hatch.

看了多篇國外的比較文章,提到的差異幾乎都相同:
RS3:
優點: 較佳的內裝,舒適度,後座空間比較大,引擎改裝空間較大,也比較不會有升溫的問題, 變數箱反應較快,衛星導航有觸控手寫板
缺點: 操控較差，方向盤的回饋比較差,所以需要更費心的操控才可以接近 A45,剎車力道不如 A45,較高的售價
A45:
優點:較佳的操控,較 RS3 好的剎車力道與較低的售價
缺點: RS3 優點反過來的部分.
但作者最後還是選的 A45,
但說實話,這兩部車我不管選那部,心中多少還是有些遺憾.

由於A3車系即將進行中期升級，因此，RS3 Sedan可能也會獲得Virtual Cockpit全數位虛擬駕駛座艙（有可能是選配），桶形座椅，以及稍微修改的水箱進氣護罩與頭燈；還有一組新的鋁合金輪圏。而這些變化應該會率先出現在RS3 Sportback上
美國如果有賣 RS3, 相信以後要查 DIY 的文章就部會太難..
