Next Gen 2021 Audi A3 Sedan Debut

They’re seems to be some issue over the cost here, I paid 33k for mine, it was brand new with every option apart from the panoramic roof, and at an Apr rate of 1.9% I thought it was great value.

All I can say is if you can’t see anything special about it over an standard GTI, you need to get to specsavers as soon as they open tomorrow.

And all I can say is if you've paid 33 grand for a car that does 60 in 5.6 you need your head testing at A and E tonight
 
I don't crave peoples attention to tell me my car is unique or special or do I need my car praising like some people on here .

Ye avin a Voodoo go again....lol....."Snowflake"...."Black suv Paints Matters"...AMG 45S is the second coming of Christ on 4 wheels lol.....lot of Racism and Bigotry going on in this thread
 
They’re are far fewer TCRs about, nearly every golf you see on the road is an R. I was actually able to drive the TCR and the R back to back. The R was more expensive and I found the drive numb and uninvolved, and even in a top spec it didn’t look as special as the TCR, the choice was an easy one for me.


To be fair ... the TCR may hold better residuals than R’s for that very reason.

Previous Clubsport models held their money well for the same reason & quite desirable even now.

We had a Scirocco R a few years ago and that was around 260 bhp through the front wheels. It was a terrific car and very fun & agile to drive. A handful in the wet but on a dry road it was very rapid. I imagine the TCR is similar.

What the hell has a 0-60 time got to do with the enjoyment of how a car drives, unless all you are doing is racing off lights or going to a drag strip every day it means absolutely nothing.

The TCR has one of the fastest times recorded for a front wheel drive car round the Nurburgring, this means much more than some 0-60 time.

To me how a car accelerates is a big deal and a big reason why people buy performance cars .

Nurburgring times while impressive wouldn't bother me too much as you can't drive at them speeds on a public road for a long period of time .

Its a measurement of how a car handles at speed (even fast road legal speed) round corners, a much truer reflection of a performance car, not as simplistic or basic as a 0-60 time.

I'm not 18 anymore so I have grown out of racing people off the lights, that's all a 0-60 time is good for on the public road, or it's also useful if you are one of those sad blokes down the pub telling people how fast their car does 0-60 in.

As a member of quite a few car forums, this one simply seems to have turned into one were people just come on to put down other folks cars.

I appreciate that we all like different cars, it would be pretty boring if we didn't. However I expect that everyone on this forum is a genuine car enthusiast, and should be able to appreciate an other person's car and not feel the need to make comments, which frankly a lot of the time are very personal and seem unnecessary.

I don't need you to tell me about measurements of how cars handle I've owned an Eco 6 TME which is a better handling car than any golf especially a front wheel drive one .

Your not 18 really :blink: racing people off the lights they were the good old days back in the 90s .

Can't help you on being a sad bloke who goes to the pub I don't drink .

Looks cracking mate, but some aren’t fans of the various greys, like nardo etc. £33k for the loaded TCR @1.9APR does sound cracking. I would hazard the “new” S3 when it comes out will be a long way north of that.

If this is aimed at me which I am pretty sure it is

All I did was reply to a members question of what I thought about the Golf R vs Audi S3 nothing more then you came along with your comment
which I didn't agree with .

Nobody as put your car down I said I've heard good things about them . I said if one pasted me driving down the road I'd think nice GTI but you didn't like that and took it personal .

Just like you can’t really be safely doing 0-62 on public roads in this country, so you are kind of contradicting yourself

Time to get this thread back on subject
 
Think I will pop back on this post later when it all calms down or get's scrubbed lol:blink:

I agree it does look a cracking car like you said some people aran't fans of certain colours .

I would think the new S3 would be well north of that its a new model

I have the occasional blast from the lights that are at the slip road joining to the motorway which is safe as I have to get up to speed to join the motorway traffic .

So i'am not contradicting myself at all . 9 times out of 10 I have my wife and two children with me and just happy to be in a nice car .
 
For perspective I like the TCR and in grey / nardo it looks great!

Now back to the A3 ;)

There is a lot more R's on the road purely down to the crazy lease deals they were doing on them . Can't comment on the drive of a TCR as I said I have heard good things about them . There is nothing special looking about the TCR over a regular GTI .

And I couldn't bring myself to pay that sort of money for a car that does 60 in 5.6 either .

Who cares about 0-60? Surely the way the car drives trumps that boring statistic.
The TCR should hold value well which makes the purchase price less important.

I care when i'am paying a lot of money for a performance car . Of course how it drives matters but it is each to their own on what's more important when buying a car .

The TCR might hold value well who knows .
