Be 25 next year then will be able to have a golf r as a demo : )

Would love to have a golf r............... been for a few drives in our 3 door manual car and its incredible.

Save yourself the money and get an S3 mate. Thats what i did. Left an R owner wishing he did the same a few weeks ago

Hmm .... The R was not probably trying!
Anyway, the S3 looks old and frumpy and the 5 door looks like a bread van.

3 door s3 in White looks tidy though!!

I've driven one. Ride is awful. Soon to be replaced.
Looks quite good in white though.

Seeing as he had an identical car with a golf body kit i doubt he was. Still knowing he paid more than £10k more than me left me with a warm fuzzy feeling

Hardly.
The S3 may share a platform, but they drive completely differently.
The S3 is numb, and harsh, next to a Golf.
Audi really need to sort their damping out.

I looked long and hard at another S3, but it just drove so badly - even with the essential magnetic ride helping out - that I couldn't live with it.
You can get some cracking deals though - I could have got an S3 Black Edition, in red, with Recaro buckets and a spec otherwise matching my GTI, for £1500 more....which is a lot of car for the cash in anyones book.
