Decisions decisions...
« on: 14 June 2012, 17:34 »
I am going to be getting a new ride in a couple of weeks (probably the end of month) an I think I am set on a 57 plate s3:

But I was reading through the reviews on parkers and it suggests a BMW 130i as a different option. I have found one that is a bit nice:

Which would you choose? Which would be the better car? I am not going to go crazy with mods but would like some potential, and from what I know the Audi has got massive potential with it being turbo.

Opinions on the back of a postcard guys if you would :-)

S3 all day long.

130i has cock all room in the back and just looks boring an very average imo. Quite a few lads had them at work and I just wasnt impressed with them.

I have one of those M sport BMW's for sale, my daughters car, she now has a job with Audi, so its surplus to requirments, mint apart from a few flea bites on a wheel or 2, less miles, and less money and higher spec than that one, PM me if you're interested :wink:
