Still, the Honda wins 2 out of 6 of the track battles while costing at least 60% less and returning at least 7 mpg better

Still the RS3 kicked the Honda Civic ass, it don't matter if you win by an inch or a mile. Winning's winning. Dont get butt hurt.

That's the old Civic. The new Civic kicks the Audi's butt. 2.01.51 around Magny-Cours.
