got tired of waiting
« on: 13 March 2016, 13:12 »
Has anyone else got tired of waiting for the order books to open on the clubsport?
i paid a visit to the local audi garage yesterday and I'm close to doing a px on the gti for a new S3.
Since seeing the clubsport we have said that once our pcp deal is up ( june ) we will px it for one. seems june is fast approaching and the no doubt terrible lead time to actually owning the clubsport i think I'm going to press ahead and order the audi. shame really but needs must.
anyone else had any experience on the S3 or in a similar situation?

My wife is waiting to change her Mk6 for the Clubsport and I'm tired waiting although she isn't as she wants it on a 66 plate because she hates private plates but 66 is her lucky/favourite number.

The S3 is a nice car once you spec it a bit but if it was me I would prefer an R to an S3

You get nicer seats and non-active Xenons in the S3, and that's about it. You'd have to spend about £2700 on it to spec it up to the standard equipment of the R, but if you would've insisted on leather on the R anyway, the difference isn't huge.
Whey ya bugger! It's finally arrived after an 8 month wait....

I wouldn't hold your breath for an S3 either.

I have just ordered one but all orders are on hold as the new facelifted one is being launched on May 23rd so I don't know when I am going to see it  :sad:

If you're struggling for transport scroll to the bottom of the page, just consider it temporary transport meantime!

Sorry, thought that was quite amusing.

The S3 will be far better than the clubsport so I wouldn't be too disheartened.

I didn't realise they were face lifting the A3. No wonder we had so many rumours of Golf face lifts.
Any links to the new look?
The S3 is über stealth, more so than an R however I'm a dyed in the wool saloon car disliker yet a few weeks ago I pulled up at the lights and an S3 (I think that's what it was, it had four tailpipes anyway) saloon went past in front of me in that nice blue colour. That's the first saloon car I've liked the look of since the 1984 Audi 80 Sport.
