RS5 is a snooze fest.

Agreed. We had an RS3 for 4-years, it was a blast to drive on the street. I really liked driving it around town, being quite nimble and super easy to launch while still decently comfortable on longer trips. On track, not so much, as it understeered a fair bit at the limit and the brakes were subpar. The track was the M4cs territory. But the RS3 shortfalls on track were not noticeable on the street. As a runabout to run errands, it was quite enjoyable to drive.
