These two cars are $20-30k apart. You could buy that Civic with the left over change you'd have getting an RS3. They're really in two different leagues. I've sat in an S3 at the dealer and the interior is really not that bad. I would have liked to see more carbon fiber and alcantara, but the fit/finish is great. They get more alcantara in the EU models. VW/Audi decided to keep some of the good stuff from making it to the US. How many other $59,000 cars out there are running deep into the 11's in the 1/4 mile at almost 120mph and getting to 60 in 3.5 seconds for $59k? I can't think of any. I think the car is priced appropriately. There are really no other cars in this segment that perform comparibly and other than shoulder and head room, the RS3 has similar interior dimensions as the G80 when it comes to legroom. If someone wants to drop $90k+ on a well-optioned G80, they aren't shopping for an RS3.
