RS3 sound was more refined than the A45 and had great volume unlike the Golf.

Having driven and considered the RS3, the sound is so similar to the Audi R8 V10 it's uncanny, honestly the best sounding small cubes I've heard. Last car was a supercharged M3 V8 so I'm really missing a good exhaust sound. The A45 is pure quality and has everything else to offer but the sound is not it's greatest attribute
As the Golf (although a great car) has artificial piped sound it can't be taken seriously

IMO sounds wise RS3 > CLA45 > Golf R

The RS3 sounds as close to Perfection as a 5 cylinder can get.

I own R8 V10 and it doesn't sound anything like the RS3, no pop and crackle, no boy racer noise. RS3 is great, especially for its target demographic but it is totally different from the V10

I agree. The RS3 is a hatch, and comparing anything about it to the best car Audi make could not sit easily with the owner. The pops and crackle are not there for sure on the R8 V10/Lambo but the engine sound is very similar and in the same frequency range. I had an Audi with that motor and a friend who had a V10 R8 and he was not comfortable at all with the sound of a TT RS. I've driven both cars and have to say the sound is really similar and one of the best engine sounds around (C63 excepted of course)

Dave you have summoned it very nicely! People who knows about cars would understand the comparison we are making between the Rs3 and the R8 V10.

The best engine sound for a hot hatch is the Rs3 and no comparison with others. The best V8 ever is the classic 6.2 AMG I miss this one. Cannot believe we are saying its classic now
