Still there is already a thread running on this subject if you didn't know
...has an interesting article on a modded cars including a 400bhp Audi S3....
Read it, its good
Yeah my comment was meant to be tongue in cheek
They put the S3 in to see how the FWD cars compare, which as jamiep points out, in the ice, the Golf and Focus fair very well, as usual the VXR is just TORQUE STEER CENTRAL! - Nothing new there.
They seem to indicate that the Focus is the best allrounder, but this is also the car that hasn't had abigger turbo fitted, therefore more driveability and less lag - Aprranetnly th VXr is 'old school' lots of lag fast!
I'm not a fan of the ST, when compared to other hatches ie. Golf GTI, I think, that it feels nose heavy, and you seem to sit too high in it - I've had a few, on week demos, and they just don't do it for me.
The S3 is surely the odd one out here? 4wd and much more expensive?
Suppose it puts a different spin on the usual group test shoot out.
I am biased as I own the Audi but it annoys me all these reviews say
S3 still `too clinical` or too safe...
Yet everytime its the quickest car round a track, wet or dry....
They seem obsessed with having a car you can make the rear end step out etc etc but what use is that down a country road, you will only end up in a field, hedge or tree.
