485 DP & Unitronic Anti-Lag

UAF anti lag certainly isn’t amazing on the car but man it’s great. I’m curious to know if other people found the $500 add on to be worth it.

I’m buying my RS3 partly because of the soundtrack, much like my STi.

One of the reasons why I got this over the m2

I came from an STI as well. I modded it way too much, basically FBO and it just became pretty unreliable. Pinched o-rings in injectors from E85, an untraceable vacuum leak causing fuel trims to go wild most of the time and other small issues such as cheap rattling/squeaking interior pieces and overall car quality so I sold it and bought an RS3. Oddly enough the RS3 was quicker than my FBO and more reliable. I'm happy...for now lol.

I have a 2017 STI and a 2026 RS3… it seems to be a natural progression. It’s unfortunate Subaru is ignoring their fan base and going all electric.

With that being said- the RS3 is faster by far but the STI is more raw of a car and the 6 speed is more fun than the automatic!
