The S3 never had the 3.2

It has the 2.0T

the RS3 will have the TT-RS 2.5T 335bhp.

White looks awesome on the S3 & Golfs are equally as overpriced.

i think that pic it looks a little bland IMO

like them a bit lairy... orange one?!
whats wrong with keeping the vxr now that the finance has ran out iirc from your other post... and obv the gearbox problem until the new one comes out to compare?

i kinda know what you mean wanting a car thats extra comfy after the bike, my combo van feels brilliant recently

what about an ex demo a4 s-line?

Is the S3 not meant to be more of a refined car like all of the Audis?

Difference of about £10k after options

S3 currently has the 2.0 TSFI Turbo with 265bhp.
0-60 is rated at 5.7
0-100 (more important

) is 13.6
172bhp per tonne

http://www.autocar.co.uk/CarReviews/RoadTestsData/Audi-A3-S3-(261bhp)/224171/

Some more times there but they seem to be close to the official times. So it is quicker in a straightline at least.

Really not keen on the facelifted S3's

Dont like the headlights and really dont think the wheels suit it.

The ones around the 2006/7 times looked 10x better imo

Did you take a look at a Scirocco R??

Same engine as the S3......FWD. Might not seem as heavy etc as you suggested?

Looks amazing too....better looking than the S3?

Should give it a go!!

I was thinking just that, will probably be a model change soon-ish!! Scirocco is fresh & would be the sensible choice imo!!

Jades Bro has had his GT just over a year & I dont think hes lost much money on it at all!!

Scirocco looks a bit funny and its not as nice inside.

Plus a new S3 wont be out for a while. The new A3 wont come out till at least the end of next year and they wont bring the S3 out from launch.

I really like the sirrocco R, Donna loves the front, but hates the rear of it.

I wouldn't say no to either tbh.
