Hi all
I am up for a new car RX8 is present one, it is nr 6 yr old, and the 21 MPG beginning to bug me.
It is a sort of toss up between a BMW prob a 1series M 335 or anS3
Both Cars had stronger points over each other in my books for a long term commitment, I generally keep a new car for about 6 yrs on average.
My main concerns re the S3 are reliability over 6 years and the costs of repairs, and servicing, I have read and spoke to a few people that although generally reliable when they do go wrong, too many dealers are guessing and waste time and you end up with a massive repair bill. I know you can get extended warranty, so some relief there.
The BMW does some great packages re servicing and unlimited warranty.
As the driving of the cars, I cannot make my mind up, but it is edging to the S3 for a few reasons,
Would like some honest opinions really just sitting on the fence so far.
Thanks
