Visit to Audi
« on: 07 January 2008, 16:51 »
Went to Audi garage this weekend with a friend, just to have a quick peek at the a3 as my friend is thinking of getting one and I thought I would see what the S3 is all about. I have to say I was very disappointed!!

Nearly all the switches/ buttons excluding those on the centre dash are straight out of the golf. Cabin feels nicer, but quality isnt that much better than the golf. Different doesnt mean better quality in this case. The back is quite cramped too. But i think the final nail in the cofffin for this car is the steering wheel!! What were Audi thinking???? It is a poor attempt. It felt so skinny compared to the Golf, and just put me right off!!
I certainly will not be getting one now, not matter how fast these things are... i just wouldnt compromise the extra bits of the golf for the looks of the S3 regardless of how pretty the thing looks!

and the price for all this... £33k thank you sir!! no thank you mate i will stick to VW!

p.s. the wheels are not so great eiter, and certainly dont make it stand out as a performance car.

enough said... BMW here i come :cool:

you can get different spec steering wheels !!!

What BMW can you have(or want) for that price ??? New ???

Plus then you will be a BMW driving corksucker (owning the road, no indicating etc.....)

I dont really indicate anyway :rolleyes: unless i really need to. I dont know why everyone hates BMW drivers... the cars are just pure quality! In fact my first ever car was a BMW 2002 tii at the humble old age of 16! What a car :grin:

I would happily pick up a used M3 instead of splashing 33k on a S3 and loosing 5k the minute i drive it home.

Plus the S3 is an ugly box with a fat bum.

BMW's are more common that vectra's these days. Women love them. Some people will simply get a basic 3 series rather than get a better car just because its a "BMW".

And from what i see daily on the road, bmw drivers are arragunt, selfish and complete and utter t0ssers. They think because they have a BMW they are superior to all other cars on the road.

I agree with most of what you say gjroe. There are a couple of other motors that aren't bad from the BMW stable

Z4M coupe
335i
335D
135i coupe

Although I wouldn't buy one as I love my ED30 :smiley:
Seat Leon Cupra Black 290 DSG

I might get shoot down, but I do like the Bimmers, even if some of their drivers love a bit of the c0ck.
