In many ways. I think there is a difference between the Haldex 4 wheel drive system vs. the Audi quattro or whatever the S3 is running, and maybe 1 or 2 suspension differences.
The price difference should be substantial.
S3 details coming in summer, R details end of 2014, so we 'll see.
If the 2 series had 4 doors, I probably would have done that. I expect to go with the R.

The S3 will not be running true Quattro, although they are calling it that. It's still based on the MBQ FWD platform, so it's biased that way similar the the CLA AMG. The RS3 will be the same thing only worse, although there are rumors of an RS3 avant or hatch or whatever you want to call it showing up stateside.
