I think their results are spot on here, if you ignore practicality then the Cayman R wins by 8 points over the RS3 with the 1M a further 12 points back, but with everything taken into consideration then the RS3 wins by 6 points.
So they are basically repeating my own opinion that the RS3's performance abilities are close enough in most people's eye to make the areas that it's outstanding at seal the deal. But the same could very well be said about the 1M, it's traction issues only really show up in poor conditions and as they did say it's a real hoot to drive so it too is a car that though it didn't win it has still enough plus points to be a rewarding thing to own, maybethose points in some poeple's eyes make it the best of the bunch.
What these reviews shows is that both these two cars are exceptional driver's car in their own right and worthy of the badge bestowed on them and at a price that more can afford.
