So Ive just been to my local VW dealer, so my current car can have its first service.......
And while I was waiting to collect my car after its service. I got chatting to the guy who sold me my current polo GTI and the sales manager.
Anyway I let slip that Ive orderd a new S3 and the first thing the sales manager said to me, is its no where good as the Golf R.........
Now then
All of the reviews that pitch the cars head to head actually come to the same conclusion that the R is that bit more .... dare I say it !?
"involving" in driver terms.
the S3 is a far more quality product in terms of its cabin and gadgets. It just so happens that the vw dealer had a manual golf R in the showroom. which I was having a good look round and its quickly obvious that the materials in the S3 are of better quality and the infotainment/layout is so much better in the Audi.
The standard satnav screen in the R looked completely lost in its vast centre console.
I would say build quality is on par for both vehicles, the R is by no means a cheap product like the focus RS. But it was clear Audi had won that part.......
The driving experience is not something I can quite comment on ..... thus I call upon fellow Owners to give me your opinions on this and shed light on exactly how the S3 is for you!
Will I love the S3 ? Or will I be left feeling like im missing out?
