Hey folks, I just realised I should have said hello earlier..
<short ver>Hi, I'm Dave (28) from N Manchester</short ver>
<long waffle>
So here goes... I've come from a 51-plate TT Quattro Coupe which I'd modded over a few years, Magnex cat-back, Neuspeed P-Flow, Forge DV, Remap, LED interior bulbs etc... Loved the car, I'm much into detailing (excessive cleaning) my cars and this was no exception. The power was lovely (approx 275BHP) but after a while the noise started to grind!
I recently (Aug) got married and am thinking about kids in a 18-24 months, so the TT had to go (this is where I attempt to justify the S3 purchase to myself) Only having two seats and no decent sized boot meant I needed a change. I'm also very much into my mountain biking and again, the TT was useless. I decided I needed a change of car, and started looking at the big diesel A6's....by the time I'd finished deciding what I wanted, the budget had doubled, I'd signed up to finance again and decided that because I only do 8000 miles a year I could have a turbo-petrol... blah blah.. anyway, would have thought about the Sportback S3's but to keep costs down I got a 3dr car again.. I'll fix the problem with kids seats, when it becomes a problem
- hey, I've got ISOFix now...what more do you want??
So I decided on an S3 after driving a Golf R32 and a BMW 335i, I got an 07 S3, Electric Lumbar, Lights Pack, Adaptive Xenons, Heated Seats, Storage Pack, Sat Nav, Red/Black Leather, Pearl Black. First mod is to fix the truly CRAP Audi iPod connection to the RNS-E. I didn't know at the time of purchase that there was a difference between the versions
I've opted for a Dension Gateway 100 (props to S8craig, thanks buddy) and a Brodit iPhone mount. Next mod will be a Stage 1 map, but I'll leave that until I've finished paying for the honeymoon.
Anyway, enough waffle- I'm looking forward to learning more about the S3 and potential mods as time goes by. I don't have much of value to add now, but hopefully I'll be able to in the future
