Its a hatchback and all of them are bland looking too my eyes ....Golf 8 interior has far more high gloss plastic than the A3 has .....golf's normally are more expensive on a pcp due to having lower residuals than a A3

Akrapovic - it is usually an optional item
Having test driven both the new Golf and the new A3 (with the original intent of buying the Golf) I chose the A3 largely because the Audi switches and controls are far smarter and more intuitive than the new Golf’s (and I say that as the owner of a mk 6).

Wouldn’t say the interiors are materially different when comparing MK7 and 8V.
I’m guessing more go for the hatch over the saloon, that’s just what I see on the road.
Expensive on PCP but there were some silly leases last few years on Golfs.
Will be interesting to see them in the flesh and side by side.
Been an Audi driver for over 20 years but might move next time. Fancy a CLA45S Shooting Brake, but not sure I can justify £60k...People buy into a Brand and the 4 conjoined circles is powerful as you know
Your S3 was a PFL model eh anyway got that BMW yet?I wouldn't say my S3 blew my TCR out of the water in terms of interior quality, yes it is slightly better but you would expect it to be as its a more expensive car.
I wasn't a fan of the previous R, and I'm not a massive fan of that either going by the pictures but they always look a bit better in the metal.
But anyone thinking its styling is any worse than the new S3 is either looking through rose tinted glasses, or needs to get to specsavers asap.

Aye especially when ye fancy a wee drift on British roads....get real....I think the new R will be more appealing to people having drift ability plus another 10hp over the S3 .
The 8V fl blew the Golf R 7-5 oot the water in terms of interior build quality and design mate......it got to a stage back in early 2017 that most that got a Golf R on a pcp deal where in Neg Eq.......solely because VAG saturated the leasing market with deals that where less than £200@month and a lot that where leased....where modded and clocked because....it's leasing price made it affordable to the "boy racer" brigade....hence you had to be very very careful buying a used Golf R.....Roads are full of them still.......all driven like they'd been stolen with the stupid dynamic rear indicator mod.....a lot of early FL s3's are the same way.............they get cheaper and cheaper as time goes on

Why not the same power though in the S3? Seems daft to hold it back imho.I think the new R will be more appealing to people having drift ability plus another 10hp over the S3 .
Not sad at all its known as the Pecking order like l said l have no interest in a hatchback......especially the Golf 8 R with a pittance more bhpIt really didn’t, the MK7 was comparable to the 8V, switch gear pretty much the same, seats far better in the golf even v super sports.
You talk about the power of the 4 circles, they have sucked you in big time and if you look down at Golf R owners just because you drive an S3 then that’s a little sad really.

I never actually said l personally did, but they're always is that underlying theme .....of one upmanship especially on car forums.......fact matePecking order, it’s the same car mate with a different dress on.
I didn’t say you wanted a hatch but looking down on people because they chose an R over an S, come on Jassy.

It really surprises me how quick some people on car forums are to belittle other peoples' opinions, choices and ultimately cars. Sometimes it can get really aggressive and personal too, to the point of online bullying. I don't like bullies - hence the signature below. (That was a fun discussion - not.)
Having said that, the vast majority of people I encounter on forums are friendly and very helpful.

No you get real and take your Audi tinted glasses off for a change .
