You are only as old as the woman you feel.
i think that's a Groucho Marx quote.
Works for me and makes me 27..........
Yeah, PCP. Insurance was £660 for the year with 6 points. I had a Corsa for a few years after passing my test, and then bought a A3 2.0 TDI Black Edition which I kept for 3 years, followed by a Golf GTI which I kept for <2 years and now have the S3. All new. I said that I wouldn't buy another car (after the Golf) until I'd bought my house, which I have, so I felt it was time to treat myself again. All paid for by myself. I don't know why people are so surprised, @ 23 (nearly 24) I've been working for 5+ years out of college

God, didn't realise we had so many rich young chaps in S3's I'm 33 and I could never have afforded an S3 in my early 20's as had mountains of Uni debt to pay off!
Fully loaded S3 = cost of my first house!!!!!!
Good choice mate, in the right order.
How many years no year claim bonus do you have? I'm 24 And
have 2 years NCB and 5 points. Just want a rough idea on now much my insurance will be..
got to be sensible at least once in life, I also made sure it had a garage so I had room to store a car safely!
Slightly unrelated but just spotted this on Twitter.... way to ruin a beautiful S3!

Gee you are a bunch of young lads. I am 47 and will receive my S3 in 2 weeks time. Also have a Superbike to keep me young and alive
I'm 22. My first S3 however I was driving a 1.8 a3 prior.
Before I get asked. No my parents didn't pay for it haha. I was fortunate to land a very good job out of uni.

It's pcp that makes it possible you can get a lot of car for certain deals. 21 year old Lads on 20k a year are running round in new M3s, AMGs etc. it's good if your happy with not owning the car and living at home with parents, I think I'll look into pcp for my next car.

Same for me, did PCP, insurance was pretty low infact the same as my 2.0tdi 170 BE last year @£430 but i have no points....
3x cost of mine!
56 years old here and I still had my mates S3 bumbling along at 120, think I frightened him a tad. Audi S3 a sure licence looser in the wrong hands
28.
My 8V S3 when I get it will be my first "proper" fast car. Had mainly hot hatches since I was 20 like Mk5 GTI, MINI JCW (second generation), 120d, 130i M Sport and a rather shocking 08 plate Polo GTI which was so bad I asked for my money back after two weeks.
My S3 will be my 8th new car in 11 years of driving. Wasted thousands lol - but was worth it!
wow, ive been driving 25+ years and driven fewer cars
Ford Escort 1.6GL - 1 year
Ford Fiesta XR2 - 1 week as a heap of rubbish
VW Golf GTI Mk2 - 6 years - great fun, alas VW destroyed the car until the mk6
Peugeot 205 1.9GTI - 6 years - best car ive had - strong a cornflake packet, modded to 170bhp and £000s spent on upgrades, drove like a go kart and pretty nippy
Peugeot 307xsi - 11 years - current car - most reliable car ive had oddly - strangely better than the 308 that replaced it and as good as the current 308 imo
tip run car
Ford fiesta 1.25 - 1 year - just sold
often drive the wifes cars
Peugeot 306 1.4xn
merc a class - current car

Yep I've been a bit silly with cars over the years. Was paid a very good wage from early twenties so it was inevitable really that I'd waste it on cars!
Odd to hear about your poor Audi insurance quote. Currently pay £340 per year on A1 185 BE and it will be going UK to £411 a year for the S3. That's with 3 points for the Mrs and my 3 windscreen claims. Both with 6 years no claims.
