very nice cars those... i really want one..
the 1.8 20v T (i think thats what they are) engines can go up to 400bhp fairly easily and cheaply
just one chip does a world of BHP

Standard 1.8T is 150bhp and front wheel drive.
Standard S3 is a 1.8 turbo engine with 225bhp and 4 wheel drive.

You can get a 1.6, but I've been advised to steer clear as they're too slow/heavy.
You can also get a 1.8T or 2.0T.
Lovely cars, second to none with reliability and build, the new shape is top too

Are you looking at an S3, or an A3. The S3 is the sports version, 1.8T and 4WD IIRC
I've driven the 1.8T sport, S3, and the new S3 with 3.2 engine

S3's are going for £10-15k now
not looked into the lower specs, but if they say £7-8k, then thats £7k spare could fo a lot to it with that i guess
