Besides, the definition of _supercar_ has become rather vague at this point in the automotive world. For instance, some rat-rods have supercar characteristics, yet they are far from what I would consider a "supercar". Whereas, some supercars have qualities that are sorely lacking for their respective category. I think the definition of "supercar" is one that will be debated in perpetuity. Stay classy my friends.

I'm not sure why some reviewers imply the BMW competitor for this is the 240i. It's actually the M2. As evidence, I currently own an M2 and will be trading it on my RS3 when it arrives in a few weeks. They're extremely similar in price, horsepower etc. The 240i actually competes against the S3, not the RS3

Hey Miles I purchased the 2022 m240i in part based on your review. Cancelled my M2 deposit as it was not released with AWD and now considering my next car. Owned 2 S4s and a Q5 so I’m basically an Audi guy that diverted to BMW. Love the m240 except it’s in the shop a lot with door locking and sunroof issues. My Audis were rarely in the shop. The 2024 Rs 3 looks like a major step up in fun factor but a step down in creature comforts and interior cabin. Have you, or will you drive the 2024 Rs 3? Any thoughts on my observations and advice. Btw you were helpful in my decision to pull the plug on the m2 purchase. Thanks

Bout 600 miles, hit 3500 in 3rd(after shifting from 4700 in 2nd) at about 85% throttle and it started sounding different. Have hit 4700 prior with no noise like this. Don't know if it's just breaking in. I know not to full throttle first 1000 miles and to stay below 2/3rds redline.

The type of person that drives an Audi would _never_ consider a hatchback. That is why Volkswagen exists. Previous GTI and GLI owners are merely future Audi drivers. Audi already knows this being a subsidiary of VW Group and they market accordingly. It all boils down to the level of maturity. VW -> Audi -> Porsche. This is the road map (pun intended) for the Volkswagen Group of automakers. Stay classy my friend.
