If you can live with a TT then you can live with a S3 2door....so why go for a no frills SB when you could save a few bob and have a S3 2 door with some bits added ?
I have to say at the risk of be hung out to dry...I just dont get the S3 ?. At £30+k for a decently spec'd one you are talking low milage Carrera 4S money....To the man in the street an S3 looks just like any other A3 infact with the skirts it looks daft...What my dear departed mum used to call An "Aunty molly shopping car"she would turn in her grave if she could see my A3. !!!!
I'll get my coat.........
Found your coat Pat
I happen to agree with you on 1 pov & not on another.
I think the S3 sb is a great car overall, you get power in man or auto, it has room for kids in back & a dog/shopping, not to big for wife, but big enough for a bloke to use, so overall its a good choice for someone who wants these things & lets be honest for a guy on the street with a family its a very good choice overall.
Now the thing I do agree with you on is the styling, its rather bland for an S3, it looks good but at least my S3 8L had some slightly fatter wings, it was definitely distinctive visually from the rest of the 8L's, but S3 as said many times before is just like an sline until you drive it, but the S3 body does improve the Sport styling alot, lol, hence why I did it, I can live with that for now.
Keep eyeing up a Scirocco tbh, man it looks sweet on the road & forecourt.
Once i had seen you had quoted it i just knew I will be taken outside and shot by everyone and their dog here....teach me not to post at 3 O'clock in the morning without my "be nice" filter switched on 
....Im sure you will get a bite from some one.....
