If you wanted an S3 then why not buy an S3?

If you wanted a Golf3 with an S3 engine in the front of it, why start putting S3 decals on it?  It's not an S3, it's a Golf3

An S3 is Haldex 4WD and can deploy its power and will handle with it.

Your 2WD non-LSD (last I checked) is surely going to torque-steer like a fool.  :huh:

Built to be driven?  Not built to be driven hard though.

Is Damon Hill trying it again??  :huh: I've looked at his thread. All it is, is he talks about how fast he can go round corners in his "beat up" synchro and get his ego massaged by a few followers.  :rolleyes:

To be fair, putting S3 badges on a G3 just because it's got a 1.8T engine does look pretty pretentious IMHO.

It's not the engine that makes the car otherwise octavia's and anni's and leons would all have S3 badges on them.
