The RS3 isn't a bad choice, particularly if your M3 had the DCT. Like the M3, the RS3 has a fairly unique engine. Having sat in a number of current A3-based cars, I just can't get over how small it is. I feel like the back of the e92 is roomier, though more difficult to access.
I advise would have been to use the Accord and store the M3 outside of the city. Maybe drive it once every 2-3 months. But keep it around. An RS3 wouldn't have been my choice, but you could have done a lot worse---like a Q5 or other SUV. :-)
