    I'm up for a car swop if you are? Lol. seriously though my car (se) has the optional upgrade 18s with the same tyre size as yours and the ride is far from harsh. There must be a Que of people who would gladly trade s line spec suspension for SE spec?

    Rs3 ,dsg drive to neutral

    All autos do this. Just a case of getting used to not going for the gears with the left hand. I have to laugh when the mrs drives my A4 auto, her left legs going and keeps reaching for the gear lever at junctions!

    s3 or R32

    I never really have understood why the mk4 R32 holds more weight in vag circles than the newer mk5? Personally think the mk5 in the right colour, leather buckets and right wheels is a lovely thing. It's not all about outright speed, at cruising speed the noise of an R32 is gorgeous.

From what i have found the wireless kits are no good for my potential positioning so a hard wired kit is the way to go for me. I was impressed with the quality of...

    My audi a3 3.2 v6 quattro - valuation needed

    I think £4250 is realistic price. The mods will put off more people than they will attract. Akoya isnt the most desirable colour. It's a tad miley. I personally like it though.
