Hi all, as the title suggests are the 8P RS3's worth buying now?
I'm looking to replace my current car and finally get back into something I actually enjoy driving. I've been out of the hot hatch scene for some time now! My last car being a 200sx 10 years ago, wish I'd kept it now looking at prices for them.
Unfortunately with my budget I can't stretch to an 8V. With the RS3 being over 10 years old now and I can imagine most of them have probably done some spirited driving my question is, is it worth the punt for an old car like this? It would be more of a weekend car as I work away but also have 2 young nippers I need to fit in. There's a few nice examples around the 21k mark which is probably a bit over my budget but I don't mind paying that for the right car. I've done plenty of research Ref common problems etc but I just want to hear from the folk that have had experience with them. I would only do subtle mods with a stage 1 map.
Any feedback is much appreciated
Steve
