I keep looking at the S3 and saying no, no, no...
It really does not make any sense, but each time i look at another picture I want one. @$$@!+@***£$$$@!!!!! nuts! yes, yes, yes.
I have been going through a lot of sportscars deciding I want to spend £28-30K, having nearly brought a Ferrari (308/328 mind!) when i got my S3 last time, the problem of TCO is something I have been back to again this time round (which put me off the Ferrari).
I was on the way from Bristol to watch the Villa on Wednesday and the mate I drove up with has an 18 month old M3 which was £30K. It is a really tempting deal, until it gets wet that is, like it does 50% of the time in this country, and boy oh boy did it pour last Wednesday.
The roadholding of my S3 left him a bit speechless to be honest and I have again reviewed my choice and keeping 4WD which is at the top of the list again this time.
So after a trawl, I am almost back to Audi again. ****** (in a nice way that is). I have a test drive of an S4 next weekend and then off on holiday, where no doubt i'll sit on a beach and talk myself into a new S3...
The problem I still have is, you don't want too big a car as bombing down country lanes is a must! But you only get to do this 50% of the time, the rest of the time you are stuck in traffic, and as barmy as an Evo or Scooby is, that is the point when you look at the lovely plastic dash and wish you had the Audi!
I think my wad is safely in the hands of Audi...
...and it won't be a TT as I couldn't move in the last model, and I can't believe the headroom is any better in this new one...
