S3

[matchboy]

I agree. The S3 is a different class of car.

VW which look good = Golf and Polo

What about the Scirocco = a cracker!

 

She's getting a bit long in the tooth now though, i'm surprised there hasn't been any kind of external facelift since it was released, even some LED tail lights would make a big difference imo, still smart mind.


With regards the S3, it's not really fair to compare it to the GTI pricewise as the R would be it's rival with it's power and 4wd, we'll have to wait and see how that one pans out though!

I owned a Scirocco in 2009, it was a big mistake on my part that I bought it.  I see your point as I did choose one.  It's not a car which I rate.

I could afford it but have a budget in mind as like to live comfortably without worrying about cash.
I think the golf is a car you can enjoy more of the time.
It won't break the bank but will give you most of the thrills an s3 would in my opinion.
I'd love an s3 with the s tronic gearbox as I think this would suit the car more, but I really don't think it's worth the extra outlay in my opinion.

Pray tell?

After much thought I've ordered the GTI!

S3 was tempting, but in the end I couldn't justify the additional outlay when the GTI is such a good package.

Looking forward to Nov/Dec delivery...a long wait but I know it'll be worth it.

Did you order from a Dealer Thornster ?

Wondered what lead times they are quoting currently....  did they shift at all on the price ?  My current discussions are squeezing around £1500 out of one dealer but others have been able to secure more..

I ended up ordering via an online broker (Drivethedeal) with a 12% discount, which i thought was a very good deal! Other brokers are offering 5 - 9% off from memory.

My local dealer was also very, very good and also offered a very good discount, but unfortunately couldn't match the 12%.

If you really want to deal locally and have certainty of the supplying dealer I'd still be aiming for a 7 - 9% discount...

I agree. The S3 is a different class of car.

And remember you can do a 4 yr pcp compared to vw's 3yr......

Got an email from a local dealer yesterday saying 4 year PCP now available on VWs
