Hi folks,3 months ago i decided to trade my Mk.5 GTI DSG for the local Audi dealer's demo S3.Though the Audi is that bit quicker as a driving experience i'd say GTI was just that little bit more fun,and ranking it amongst a long line of 'hot hatches' i've owned in the past 20 yrs or so,probably comes a close second to a 1.9 205 GTI I kept for a record 3 years!Still waiting for my revenge on a guy in a pearl blue R32 who whupped me at the lights a couple of times in the Mk.5!In a non-aggressive 'friendly banter' type way of course!Anyway, despite previously had a run of 7 consecutive Golfs i'm going to stay with the Audi until new Scirroco thingy arrives,hope they do it in the Lime green of the concept!Still enjoy logging on here and seeing what's new with you guys,despite no longer having my white wonder.

Is the 07 S3 m8....post pics if you can :smiley:
-
Yeah it is,in metallic black,most options except the flat-bottomed steering wheel(bugger!).I've been amazed the attention it gets,particularly young lads,to my eyes it's looks are very understated compared to the earlier S3.I will try my best with pics,never seem to be able to upload on here for some reason.

Very very nice car, iv had a look at one in White and Yellow here in Gibraltar but at £27k....and then insurance (im 18) I am currently selling my GTI and im looking at a few cars, my plans are to buy an R32 but wouldnt mind an S3 or a Mini GP!

Very very nice....I do like it lol. They should do a 5 door version thou!

hate to say it, but i prefer the looks of the white GTi with the BBS alloys you had, that S3 looks too simular to the S-line series, and wouldnt make me look twice at it. Sorry to say it, im just a GTi geek i guess, but as a pulling machine, i'd rather be seen in the GTi. just my pennys worth.
Cracking car though noj66, black is a lovelly colour

Cheers Phil,yeah i really loved the GTI,i'd just leave it in sport and blast through the gears listening to the exhaust pop!The Audi is just as good though,just in different ways.To be honest i'm a total car geek and would have a garage of about 25 if funds allowed.

Nice pics noj. I think the S3 looks awesome from the front (especially in black), even if a little understated from the back.
Personally, I don't like my cars to shout too loudly, the S3 badge says it all.

S3 V GTI eh? :huh:
262 bhp 1455kg S3 V 200 bhp 1355kg MKV GTI with DSG,....... :undecided:
Now add an APR adjustable remap to bring it up to S3 power? (cost £600). :tongue:
0-60 in under 5.5 secs for the Golf, now its a fairer comparison.
Audi S3, V V V nice but V V V expensive and no 5 door option or dsg :sad:
ex demo golf with remap, 5 door and dsg for under £17k,.....S3 performance, golf practicality and fantastic performance,....I'm sticking with the Golf GTI dsg :evil: :laugh:

It's the name - A U D I. Each letter costs extra 1000. It's like buying Vuitton bag - it is not better quality, but costs arm and leg cause of the name. Moreover, "S3", known as a real performance car. Plus 4WD. There you have the price difference. Justified? Not in my eyes. :shocked:
