personally I like the S3 , and with a remap the 4wd comes into its own.
My biggest gripe , is that the restyle was just too subtle and not agressive enough.
That and the aloys were poor design, the whole package just didnt gel
However it does have a quality feel inside and rarer that ED30's  :laugh:

for me a price hike of 1/3 compared to E30 does not justify 4wd, 265hp, better materials inside (the build quality in E30 is not worse than in S3, and design preference is subjective factor), and better looks. For me S3 is overpriced, you pay for the brand name mostly.

Spot on my sentiments Peskarik. :wink:

All I would add is that it only comes as 3 door and only as manual as I said before
