Did I make a mistake purchasing a 1.8T A4 instead of a EP3

Why would you try to compare cars from different market segments.

There is no point. You buy A3 if you wanna cruise in lux. You buy EP3 if you wanna cruise fast.

You buy S3 if you wanna do both at once.

Wait, my CL9 Euro is my first car but I'm feeling this is pretty sluggish and slow af off the mark. Gotta be sure the 1.8T is a bit more responsive?

Fast Iz relative.

I would say EP3R is relatively fast. Its more raceboy orientated compared to the A4.

I would say 0-100 is under 5 seconds is also fast.

Most of those things wrong are pretty much because it's a fairly heavy (200+kg heavier) car compared to the euro (apparently. assuming cl7). Apparently similar 0-60/100 times. 8.6-10.5 for a4, depending on transmission. And somewhere around 9sec for the euro depending. But yeah, the a4 is a much more luxury based car, so it makes sense that it'd feel more comfortable, and more smooth in the steering rather than direct I suppose.

For the meantime, git gud, and learn how to launch the thing, and test drive cars before you buy, so you don't run into this issue again.
Test a friends ep3 if they let you, and see if you like that more. If so, sell the audi and buy ep3. Ezpz.

Hot hatchback = hatchback that tries to drive like a sportscar (no that doesn't mean it's fast, as many sportscar like the MG B are far from fast). Rorty exhaust, snappy gearbox, taut suspension... this sort of thing.

The Audi A4 is not a "hot" car.

Furthermore, even VW's "hot" offerings like modern GTI or Audi S3 are generally more mild and conservative (in driving manners not performance) than Honda's. Good if you want a regular car but with more power, not good if you want the feeling of a sportscar (as much as possible anyway).

You obviously have ever only driven Honda and never driven a polo gti
