have you seen the Astras interior though
personally having actually been in an A3 S-line I would say its looks classy and you feel like you are sat in a really well built car. Seats are fairly bucketed. Feels cushty

The astra interior is'nt too bad, but the Audi one is far superior. Vauxhall are improving though.

I am saving for the deposit on one at the moment. Gonna be in Sprint Blue (same as you can get the RS4 in) if I can afford the extra premium that comes with ordering that paint
Astra is tempting. Didn't realise they were as quick as they are! Wouldn't mind a go in one

Didnt know you could get A3's in Sprint blue? How much extra is that? You seen the colour in person, it does'nt look as good in real life.

I think I'd have the CDTi over the VXR too. The white plays a big part in the looks I'd say.
Yeah can have any colour from the Audi range that you want Joe. But if its not a standard A3 colour, which Sprint Blue isn't, then its an extra £1585 to have it done that colour.
Yeah have seen one in person, thats what made me want that colour!

Obviously down to personal preference and design choice, but in terms of build quality, Vauxhall are getting very good at it these days, and their interiors seem to be built to last, like the audi's is 
(minus the gash blue bits in the 888, lol)
End of the day, the audi with the spec your talking about is over £5.5k extra than the price of the Astra. That's a hell of a lot of cash to most people, for not a lot in terms of toys etc. Negative point it the astras price plumets pretty rapidly... but that makes them ace to buy as a second hand steal compared to a similar audi with low miles, at 12 months old, then slap the 888 bits on

there proberbly recaro's cause that's an OPC
Have got a fair bit of supposrt if my mates SXi is anything to go by. If anything the Audi's have a little too much on the base of the seat, that makes it a bitch to get in and out of .

Why not buy them out of the £5k you've saved?
