RS3 and the M2 both have major refreshes on the horizon. That alone would lead me towards the Golf R. Honestly though, you can’t go wrong here. All would be excellent options.

No. RS3 just got a refresh, M2 might get a LCI.

Right, like some minor changes in the front bumper and lights. It's nothing like the changes between the generation, and therefore is not something that would deter me.
I'm trying to convince the GF to get the new RS3 so I can boost the shit out of it.

I never said it was a new model. Anyways, yeah they're pretty easy to get power out of. Hopefully she takes the bait!

RWD vs FWD (w/rear assist) so kind of apples to oranges. I owned an MK7 Golf R and while I liked it, it felt like driving a quicker GTI 98% of the time. RS3 has the engine but it's nose heavy and has that weird all black plastic front end that makes it look like it's wearing a black mask. With either VAG vehicle there's the higher risk of getting the short straw on reliability. For me it would come down to how bad you need FWD/AWD setup for winter as the M2 is a considerably better handling car. Heck you could also cross shop the X2 M35i with the VAG vehicles seeing it has more in common with them than the M2.
