Agreed, the 8V has the best interior compared to Golf/Seat/Skoda (any generation)

I am in a looking around mode; The dealer that sold me the GTI, keeps sending special offer emails and said your nine year old car is worth £8000, visit us for a great trade-in Dont like the look of the brand new A3 outside or inside Dont think the MK7 GTI seats are very good I am driving MUCH...

Thanks, so that a pre-facelift A3 against a MK7 GTI. I am less motivated for the test drive now, but will still contact my local dealer and try that car above.

Crikey! What year is your 8v please and what model was the Golf, Mk6 or Mk7? Thanks

If a Quattro appears in my price range I will definitely look it

Its only for a test drive, I've seen 1.8 Sport models in Audi dealerships from £11,000

Thanks, time to waste a little dealer time...

Thanks, that is great info, exactly what I am looking for, will PM you if thats OK. Ah, this forum doesn't seem to support PMs. Some more questions, what do you think of the performance between the MK7 and 8V facelift, on paper there is only 30PS between them.

What about this one? https://usedcars.audi.co.uk/usedcar/audi/a3/a3/petrol/manual/150bhp-front-wheel-drive-blue-1_GBR004571143554.htm It claims to have "sports suspension" and its has the normal S line 18" wheels? (its also about 15 miles from me)

Agreed, I have three Audi garages close to me, will be searching their stock this weekend for any S Line A3s

This is what confuses me, reviews both professional and individual say S Line is way too hard. Then some people say its too soft! The S3 would be great but I am discounting it for slightly higher costs, running costs and my current GTI has 210PS which is enough.

Interesting! Even the S Line with its 15mm drop might feel like a limo compared to my current 2011 MK6.

Thanks, I can see you've had a MK5 GTI in the past. How would you compare to your current 8V Sport?

Does your sport have the 10mm drop or is it a facelift with dynamic comfort please?

Sorry, I am just after a comparison if anyone has driven both cars. I am looking to move from a MK6GTI to a 2014-ish S Line or Sport. Half the reviews and posts say the S Line on 18"s is too hard and half say something like "its planted and good" I can cope with the MK6 which is medium...

Hello, has anyone swapped from a MK6 Golf GTI to an A3 Sportback Sport or S Line 1.8 TFSI and can tell me if the S Line has harder suspension please? I am looking at 2014 S Line cars with the 1.8 petrol with their 15mm drop or the newer facelift Sport models with the 2.0 190 PS engine that have...

I hope this isn't the infamous GTI wastegate rattle all over again, which took MONTHS to fix.

I;ve found some more weights Autocar 9th April Golf R 3dr DSG weighed 1410Kg compared to official weight of 1495 BUT Auto Zeitung weighed the manual at 1479

Yes its bad! Basically across the A3 and Golf range, things are very similar for the same engine and gearbox.

With the weights, Audi and VW have different reporting standards. Golf 3dr man 1476Kg S3 3dr man 1395Kg BUT then add 75Kg to make it equivalent to the Golf = 1470Kg i.e. very very close. Then its all about extras, especially Bose, sunroof and electric seats. With the acceleration, yes we...
