Hit the nail on the head.
Anyone who says the S3 is quick and handles well simply hasn't had experiance of cars that do do both.
S3 is too FWD orientated which to an inexperianced driver gives more confidence and allows you to get to the limits of its handling, however an inexperianced driver in a fulltime 4wd def won't be able to push it to its limits. There is no way in this world a std S3 would come close to an STi and even a modded S3 would get its **** handed to it on a plate
But neither are S3's lol
Yeh they are your just not sitting right....See above k thanks.
What fly helecopters? or dead? lolYeah and the umbrellas if its raining I think they are all tryin to be Colin McRae!!!
I wasnt a chavvy low life at all, bought it purely for the performance! although wouldnt have another as the image has overtaken my desire to have one again! i bought an S4 after that and much better car all round and as fast in a straight line! but didnt have silly Tw*ts in corsa's trying to race me from every set of lights!You see, this is where I disagree. Yes the Impreza is quicker and will handle better. But my God does it give off the wrong impression. Every, EVERY Impreza I have seen in my area has a chavvy low life behind the wheel that appear to be of the opinion that double white lines mean overtake at high speed.
Now, this is all down to personal experience of course! But I wouldn't buy an Impreza if I had a gun to my head.

Here Here!:icon_thumright:this threads going round in circles!!!
I think those of us who have owned the Jap cars should just let the Audi boys get on with it!! . This is a Audi forum After all so no matter what ex scooby owners say, were going to be wrong or just cahvvy low lifes. Peace brothers, we all drive Audis too now!! (or should that be" peace bruv, we is cool init")
And i thought we were all car enthusiasts?
Martin, i couldnt agree more! Well put mate!:icon_thumright:Im probably gonna be slammed for this...oops
But really, what the heck does it matter which car is faster? seriously if grown men still think 'my car is faster than yours' wins a fight or brings the bread home, sorry fellas its a touch sad, sorry no offence intended. It means nothing, there are so many variables anyway if your so inclined to race, I mean I could say I kept up with a Veyron but how do I know, without being in the car the Bugatti driver was even full throttle? ok, not a great example but it makes the point.
Its all about taste, and personally I want a good car which also has 'enough' power to make a drive exciting when I want it to be, I couldnt give a nats chuff if any of your lots cars are quicker, I really couldnt, I care about my family, career, my photography and my health, not how fast some strangers car is. The last time a fella tried luring me into a race, I pulled alongside and asked him if he fancied me, he asked why and I replied well your clearly showing off to me....but I like girls sorry. He went quite red and ******** off.
Maybe I am in the wrong forums thb, I avoided the usual 'meet and rev' type forums as I didnt want these kinda reads
I think Im a bit sqaure now...haha, cheers
ok theres obviously something up here..... people who have owned them say they will spank an S3..... i and Gav have both had a play in a striaght line and disagree based on our experience, obviously theres the chap whos misus has one and he loses big time.....what are we missing cos id bet good money the chap i raced was flooring it...you can tell with the light exhaust smell and lil bit of smoke as it hits boost.....that too was a bug eye, is that model slower??

I still have a 1.1 saxo (shameful i know, getting an a3 asap!) but a 2005 plate STi was revving at me the other day at the lights and just wheel span for 5 minutes and i took him on the lights.. obviously got on a dual carriage way 2 mins later and he raped me lol, but it shows that just cause u have a fast car, ur not a good driver.
And he was wearing the cap and all :L
