If you read this thread you see alot of people say they are disappointed with the performance of their A3 and those posts are from years ago before this newest gen of Si was released. Looks to me like Honda heard the enthusiasts outcry about the EP3s performance and answered with exactly what they wanted: More power, Helical LSD, 6-speed transmission etc...
Now just throw a new Si motor in the EP and its a sweet little hatchback! Turbo does seem like a popular route for a considerable gain in horses atleast for a fun daily driver. I'm sure just like D series fanatics I know some people will swear that their K20A3 is awesome and there will be fully built and boosted screamers out there surprising people.
