dull we can all drive it (inc our grannys), boring even the chavs can get it round a corner without loosing the backend? Bottom line, we can all argue to the ends of time but hey, if you like your car u drive it, if not sell it n drive something you do enjoy.
I've not added to the poll as IMHO the S3 fits many of the boxes, so based on the above scenerios I will add my two peneth and explain accordingly.
I would consider the S3:
1) Dull - A bit misleading and not meant as a bad thing but based on the above anyone can drive an S3 which arguably makes it a good all rounder.
2) Boring - Only in the sense of the above definition as I'd expect anyone with reasonable driving experience to be able to drive an S3 spirited around bends.
3) Fun - Obviously not to every ones taste but it has put a smile on my face on many an occasion.
4) Good all rounder - Nice to be able to drive accross Europe to the 'Ring' with effortless cruising at high speed, overtaking is a doddle, get out at the end with no aches and pains then do a few laps round the 'Ring'. I'd be the first to admit many other cars do the 'Ring' much better than an S3 but were talking "good all rounder".
5) Enjoy every minute of driving it - Err, yes.
Now as much as I fancy buying a Cayman S (put down them rocks please) that does not detract that I consider the S3 a very good car. I suppose it's all down to circumstances and what rocks your boat at the time. Lets face it, is there an ideal car that does it all ...... dunno?
Also, if i thought the S3 was ***** i'd have no problem saying so. Just seems sometimes purely for the fact of owning an S3 it becomes a problem to some and subsequent derogatory remarks become more frequent. S3 owners, do we consider ourselves above the rest in our ivory towers looking down on all other A3's as inferior ........ not at all, just enthusiats on a web site.
or maybe you'd like to correct me if wrong.
