Hi guys,
New member here. Guess I'm looking for some opinions! Cut a long story short. I am / have just traded in my 07 plate R32 + finance package in return for 58 plate Silver S3 with Sat Nav Plus. A beautiful car I think and let's face it - cosmeticly it does in my eyes stand leagues above it's Brother!
But! Have I done the right thing? Obviously I have driven it and love it, but most Pundits inc Clarkson, Evo, etc always seem to compare to the R32. Whilst they don't dislike the S3 they always reccomend going down the R32 route because it's cheaper and offers the 3.2 V6 which is supposedly better - certainly audibly anyway!
Also I have always lusted after a Porsche Boxster S and could probably just about afford an 06 plate with say 18k miles on the clock. Yes a different car but I guess what I'm asking for is am I mad trading in my R32 for an S3? Would a Porsche Boxster S be a better choice in terms of residual values and because it is I guess a different offering.
I guess it's a stupid question/s seeing as this is an Audi forum, but if anyone is interested in giving their pennys worth - would be much appreciated!
Cheers
