Ask him where he got it - good chance it's from a stolen car - if it looks iffy, get the police to meet him!

It's a really personal thing of course, but I think the S3 in Ibis White is the best colour for the car - really it suits the S3 so much and looks awesome, which is why I went for Ibis of course - my second choice was silver, then red. Dark colours on the S3 look too understated IMO - it's hard...

Had a TTS for a little while (wife's company car) before she got promoted and landed a Cayman S ... I'm driving an S3 right now ... given the two, I prefered the TTS on looks (ours was white and looked FANTASTIC!) and the driving position was better - thing is though, my S3 gets way more...

Having had my last car stolen (no tracker & no, never recovered) I had one fitted to my new car and another to my wife's Cayman S shortly after the theft of my car. Part of me wouldn't want the stolen car back, but you feel so angry when this happens to you - I simply do not want the thieving...

Thanks Chaps - I'll get the allignment checked ASAP. Much apprecaited feedback. Cheers, Mark

No suprise most favour the Audi - the Golf R is still very tempting but I think a few people might have missed the fact that if you spec both cars to the same level - the Golf is a lot more money and get inside the VW and no way is it like say sitting in say a Rocus RS or a Renault, but it is...

I got chatting with a chap on another Forum this lunctime and he has a Golf R on order. £37,500 is what he's paying. Crazy money for a Golf that's essentially an S3 wearing different knickers and a VW medalion hung round its front bumper!

I must admit - I am a little puzzled. I've had several Audi quatro and VW (4 motion) equiped cars over the years and this is the first time I've seen uneven tyre wear like that. The chap at Audi was quite inistent that it was 'normal' for the S3. Oh, I do give it the beans now and again - so...

I wonder which way I may have gone if I'd been looking to order my S3 today? I took a look at a Golf R at the weekend - nice, very nice. But climb inside and it's definately not as nice as the S3's interior and the price - good grief! I sat down with the sales guy and my spec (same as my S3...)...

I think the simple answer is 'yes' if your car is at risk of being stolen/worth a bob or two. I speak from expereince, sadly ... if I spend £30k on a car and some low life steals it - a) I want them caught b) I do not want them to profit from the theft c) I simply do want anyone taking and...

Hi there everyone - any ideas on this? Had my S3 in for it's maiden service last week - 11,500 miles covered from new - Audi tecnichian tells me I have just 3mm tread left on fronts, 4mm on rear. I'm quite suprised by this so check myself - well, he was right, but the tyre wear is limited only...

Yep - a friend of mine was 'lucky' with his S5 - a copper spotted it parked up behind some garages two days after it was stolen. I personally think if your car is worth any reasonable amount of money you should have a tracker fitted.

S3's been great on snow and ice - no one can get up an ice covered hill near my house - except me. All hail Quattro!!! My car near enough vanishes in the snow:

I know what the R stands for, REALLY expensive! Lol! I just used VW's online config and if I spec a golf R to the same spec as my S3 it would cost £35,500 !!!!!!! My S3 was £31k. Why on earth would anyone choose to buy a Golf R above an S3 then? The S3 has a better interior, is better made and...
