Have you found your taste buds again?
I’ve never lost taste lol .... just that my palette reaches further than yours ha ha
I’ve always liked Golf’s. I was unsure at first with this new one but it’s grown on me.
Just so expensive now.
I have loved Golf for years, we’ve had mk 2,3,4,5,6 mostly Gti versions. Nowadays they are rarer than Audis.I’ve never lost taste lol .... just that my palette reaches further than yours ha ha

Love how he insults others car choices but his are the best...A45s is a lot of car for the money mate And a weapon

Thanks for clarifying our banter G. Life is too important to be taken seriously .. oh and not all my cars have been great. Think after 40 years of VW and Audis I’ve picked up just a little evidence and experiential knowledge.Rgbargee just likes to wind me up ... it’s harmless fun lol. He’s knows I have exquisite taste really & is envious of my Merc really

The 45s has some immense power too.
see it destroy the 35 here.
not a fan of the yellow paint though ...
In the words of Jeremy Clarkson,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, POWER.
Good brakes, good handling but I agree you cant beat Clarkson, poooowwwweeeerrr. As per video 100bhp makes a hell of a differenceha ha yeah you can just imagine him saying that
The only part of the above I agree with is the last sentence apart from the word ‘fair’.After being in the interior of both the golfs infotainment is awful IMO, lack of physical switch’s is a massive pain the in **** and hard to get to things like heated seats etc... 8Y interior much nicer than the 8V once you get used to it. And the saloon looks better than the hatch. The golf R may have more power on paper but let’s be honest the golf will be no quicker. And the fact the golf r costs more I don’t see the appeal. As the residual will be less than the S3 therefore cost of ownership will be a fair bit higher.
Just specced up a golf r to the same spec as my s3 and it was £45k!!! £4k more than my S3, which means at least £75/£100 more on PCP. Which is a fair bit!... also my S3 has been on the dyno and it was 318bhp.The only part of the above I agree with is the last sentence apart from the word ‘fair’.

From a current owner of a 8v S3......perspective Adding a 10-5 "touchscreen built into the dashboard doesn't mean the 8y S3 has a better interior than the 8v mate far from itAfter being in the interior of both the golfs infotainment is awful IMO, lack of physical switch’s is a massive pain the in **** and hard to get to things like heated seats etc... 8Y interior much nicer than the 8V once you get used to it.

Sounds like a day on the ranges. lol
I appreciate a good 'bang'
The 5 pot engine certainly sounds goodYou’d have loved my pre FL RS3 ... it was tremendous
I certainly loved mine 2016-2018 ..would buy a good one now if one came up! Subtle, comfortable and makes you smile all day long. Very few cars have that feeling. TTS is getting close @snakepliskinYou’d have loved my pre FL RS3 ... it was tremendous

This colour really suits the GTi and shows off the lines / creases well ...
Very nice.. not sure the extra over a BE is worth it though. My choice would be Mythos which looks the DBs but @snakepliskin will tell me that’s boring!Well l have decided on my next car for numerous reasons uber interior older Audi build quality .....has everything l desire option wise and more yeah it's the TTS Vorsprung 320 not fully decided on the colour yet......dont think the TTS warrants a exclusive paint though....????but exterior colours/interior design packs is a bit convoluted, its available to order in Germany atm....and the UK website Configurator on the TT/TTS is down atm for changes.....

I understand that. TT is a very sensitive design when it comes to colour choice. Navarra Blue if they do it can look lovely but colour choice is very personal. I’m not a fan of white on the TT or Red but clearly it’s your shout. Fad colour Turbo blue maybe? Mrs RG is loving her 4 year old TTS, shame Brighton Audi were so bad preparing it !My ocd could'nt live with a Black car...l dont like the alloys on the BE ...and there's no option for matrix on the BE the Carbon inlays and the alloys on the Vorsprung are stunning to my eyes only slight negative about the TT is l aint that keen on the rear tail light design....atm you need to buy the TTRS Vorsprung to get the OLED rear tail lights which has a completely different light design
You've gone full circle mate. It was your first choice quite a while back.Well l have decided on my next car for numerous reasons uber interior older Audi build quality .....has everything l desire option wise and more yeah it's the TTS Vorsprung 320 not fully decided on the colour yet......dont think the TTS warrants a exclusive paint though....????but exterior colours/interior design packs is a bit convoluted, its available to order in Germany atm....and the UK website Configurator on the TT/TTS is down atm for changes.....
That looks like a bargain!!! Would anyone seriously consider spending that sort of money??? Bettere used as a contribution to a holiday IMHO!You've gone full circle mate. It was your first choice quite a while back.
As for the rear lights.. You could always get them retrofitted with little trouble I would think?
Good luck with whatever you decide.
