Here’s a pretty simple video clip from French publication Motorsport Magazine comparing the Audi S3 and the Subaru WRX STi. It’s an acceleration run from 0–250km/h and it would seem that S tronic gives the S3 the edge. Although, they’re pretty slick gearchanges in the STi.
S3 Sportback: 221kW/380Nm, 6-speed S tronic, quattro all-wheel drive, 1445kg
WRX STi: 221kW/407Nm, 6-speed manual, symmetrical all-wheel drive, 1525kg

Looks like Audi and Subaru get their instrument clusters from same supplier. Uncanny that the Red stripe and White letters are universal theme in LCD. Even more weird is that both share a gauge each in tacho and speedo. The Audi has both positioned to the right(Fuel and Boost) and the Sti positioned to the left (Fuel and Temp). Who is copying who??? Or did they get the same instrument supplier do a deal for the as they were overstocked?? haha.
