Just seems a bit odd you'd rather a mini over the S3 which is a better, more capable grown up car in just about every respect.

That maybe so and I'm not denying that in anyway whatsoever. Down to personal preference at the end of the day mate.

'Better' is subjective.

Mini is a better drivers car, more fun. S3 is more grown up and refined. Both nice cars in their own ways.

A mini may be a better drivers car than an S3 but if you wanted a drivers car you wouldn't buy a mini either.

And an S3 may be a more refined and comfy car than a Mini but if you wanted refined and comfy you wouldn't buy an S3 either

sorry to bring this old topic up not posted on here for ages in the end i decided to change the rims to std s3 ones painted graphite grey also put miltek bacbox on it and change the std symphony cd player to the nav plus system. + few other little bits like wind deflectors etc. not sure wther to get it mapped next but fancy changing to either a bmw 335d coupe or mk2 focus RS maybe next year when i get a bit more saved.
pictures with my mates vxr arctic when i had old wheels
and vxr after 3sdms put on and rs bonnet vents
