    Spoilers

    Not to my taste, but then I’m about q car subtlety. Also, as an aside, genuinely thought by the title of the thread it was going to tell me either a) how game of thrones ends, or b) why Banner couldn’t change into the hulk in Infinity wars...... :tonguewink:

    Whats faster than a Bitdi?

    Once dusted my boss in his Golf GTI performance pack (manual though so he didnt have launch control!) Gotta have to say a 335d on paper looks to be a couple of 10ths quicker. . .

    Buying an S3 in the next 3-4 months advice please

    Not sure the new plate means a huge amount here in NI, as we have our own system, but yes, maybe worthwhile calling a few dealers in England / Scotland / Wales. Anyone got a couple of decent dealers they can reccomend, as my previous 2 in Surrey / London were at best average!

    New car decisions

    Just had a look on one of their forums, and yup, there seems a fair few complaints. However, more well balanced recently with a lot of happy owners now that we are well into MY18. Still, has thrown in a bit of doubt.
