My mates got one of those and you will be disappointed to learn you cant tow a caravan with it.
Still got mine after 10 yrs but just bought a new car this weekSold it a while ago. Needed five doors for kids etc. Also was doing about 100 miles a day at the time so a diesel made more sense.
Didn't post it here because it was a bit dull :/
S3Cool.
What's the new one?
It's the 240bhp petrol. Same engine as a Focus ST. Golf GTI fast, not Golf R fast.Ooh nice - is that the Supercharged one?
Test drove one of those when deciding what to get. Nice car but I could get more car, with more toys for less money on the Jaguar. Just not as quick. Quick enough though
Looks niceI test drove them both, but the R would be the end of the current version. They are face lifting it and I didn't want to buy what they had rather than being able to choose what I wanted, I was limited. Also I didn't want to be driving round in seven months time and see the face lift version and kick myself. Also the VW sales guy wasn't interested, i think he thought i was a tyre kicker
Both cars are pretty much the same to drive but the S3 is the new face lift version. Gone for the three door in the blue, upgraded the seats to the RS3 seats with the red leather stitching, Bang and Olufsen sound system and virtual cockpit.

Still contemplating the black edition, Its still 4 months away due to build time, but i have a month or so to spec amend it if i want.
Didn't even look at the BMW as I've never been a fan of them, they just don't do it for me, especially the 1 series

Its black in the black editionPersonally I don't like the rear diffuser colour.

New petrol engines based on the Ingenium design come later this year. Might want to trade up to it or the new AWD version of the same then. Will have a test drive.
Could have stretched to the V6 but given that most of my miles at the moment are my commute where I average 13mph it seemed a bit of a waste of money and fuel :/
I have a left hand drive 1.0 liter Kia Picanto you can have for cheaps Bods. HR will line up to suck your economic coxxor!
M240i gets 35 mpg official:I'm all good thanks dude, as long as I don't have the least economical car on the team - and 2 of them have Land Rover Discoveries, so no need for purgatory just yet
