Yeah, new and with specific options...and practical.
The S3 just isn't cutting it on that count...I'd prefer 5 doors...and don't like the Sportback.
I'm thinking Mk6 Golf...don't fancy paying £38000 for an R...so maybe a GTI.
I probably would be better buying an Evo if I wanted outright performance...but wouldn't have one of those God awful things parked within 50m of my driveway!
Sure they are fast, but I couldn't live with the image...and the running costs make running a 911 look cheap!
Now, stop trying to rub...
£3485 for a 5 door.
They do throw in full (ha!) leather - actually leather/alcantara and the usual fake leather on the bits you don't sit on - heated seats and rear side airbags on the 5 door...for your £3485.
Which makes all the difference.... :whistle2:
You can get Xenons now...it was...
Can't get buckets on a GTI - even as an option.
I'd be happy with a GTI with standard seats - but VW don't seem capable of building them!
Another S3 would be nice...with buckets.
But the thought of a Golf R is giving me sleepless nights :whistle2:
Or rather the £39000 VW are asking for a...
Cheers Kev,
I'll give you and rich a shout once I'm back onshore and see who's available.
Aberdeen or Newmachar...it's six and two threes for me...I just appreciate the offer!
Glen.
I would prefer a Golf GTI.
But can't get one...VW seem to be employing one man to build all cars at the moment!
If I can't get my first choice...I may have to look at alternatives - and the S3 would be a nice 2nd choice.
I prefer the GTI to drive...more fun perhaps...the S3 is almost too...
I'd enjoy it in a different way!
Having a fantastic car that you can't use very often (too impractical, too low, too much fear of leaving it anywhere, too much resentment from others etc) is all very well...but you end up running about in a cheap car you don't like driving whilst the other car...
About the same as me then...38-39" waist.
Are you wide accross the shoulders?
I am...and the Porsche 'Sports' seats pushed my shoulders forwards meaning my spine was not supported - so they were out for that reason. I don't recall the RS4 style seats doing that though.
Not necessarily...
There are other cars in the 'group' that have those seats as an option!
I'm just not sure the incompetents at the factory can build them quick enough to stop me getting fed up though...
I may have to slum it and go for another S3. :moa:
Ahh...cheers col.
I'm offshore for the next 2 weeks, but if I can't find someone more local to Ellon/Aberdeen, I'll give you a shout and pop up. Thanks.
Hmm...
I'm 6'3" and about 120Kg...
I can fit in Recaro Pole Position proper bucket seats though, quite comfortably...I'm not exactly 'fat'...but very far from slim.
I need to try them, I think.
That's the problem...
I'm not slim!
I'd ned to try them. As I recall, RS4 seats at the bolsters furthest out were fine...which should be where S3 bolsters will be.
Probably a bit too late...thanks for the offer though!
