Since we know that the initial S3 will be DSG only, I'm ignoring it, just like the CLA45, but if the R comes with a manual, at least as an option (hopefully they learned their lesson with the Mk5), it will get considered along with a 228i, especially if the rumors of a sub 3k pound weight prove to be true.
