RS3 V 1M

One second slower in the dry, nine seconds faster in the wet,

What's with the S3?, Lynne has the original and loves it whats wrong with the new one?

Its just dire

Feels so numb

So dated

Rides horribly

Handles terribly

All the power in one lump

Looks good in Red thou

The press didn't like the RS5 either but owners seem to like it alot. I've got a feeling the RS3 will be of the same ilk...
