Haha not as bad as a TT eh Craig?!

I want to try 4WD but can't talk myself into paying an extra £100 pm for a Golf R, as good as it will probably be - don't fancy another Golf unless the Clubsport turns out to be a bit edgy.
Don't like the S3 - dull as dishwater.

So that leaves the S1, and I'm not looking at new. There are a few upto 1yr old which are well specced  (leather, bose, 18's, comfort pack, nav etc) that have taken a hammering on depn and look good value for a 1yr old Audi.
Current - Mk7 Golf GTI w/performance pack
Previous - VW Golf Mk6 GTD, Ford Fiesta ST, BMW M135i, VW Golf MK5 GTI

 :grin: :grin: you did ask for opinions. S3 is far better looking than the S1. The rear of the S1 is just awful.

Have you driven the S1? I found it just as dull as most Audi's.

Nope, but it has been extensively tweaked to improve things.

My ACC seems to be working very well in the driving rain - never seen the <car>!<car> symbol on as much in the whole time i've had the car as I have today. The last calibration of the ACC system is much improved, but i've still had one "limited view" warning since calibration - that's one message too much.

Sand in the carpet! That'll be there forever.  :laugh:

Ranks just below glitter, for being a PITA to get out of car carpet.  Never, ever  let your kid(s)  have ANYTHING in the car with glitter on.  :shocked:

Having some upgraded AP/Ferrodo DS2500 pads fitted to the R ahead of next weeks track day
