Hey guys,
First post here and COULD be one of many!
I'm torn between either purchasing a brand new Mercedes A45 AMG or Audi S3. Now i'll be placing an order for one of these but can't make up my mind. I've had a great offer from Mercedes Sheffield after using carwow (almost 15% off discount) considering I've specked the car up to almost everything - commandonline, aero pack, night pack, HK, pano roof, performance exhaust, premium etc! The current deal is just around £38,000.
For the Audi S3 I also have almost every spec including pan roof, keyless go, new dynamic front+rear indicators (laser lights) and virtual cockpit and these two spec are really really drawing me to S3! I've also got parking sensors rear and front hopefully, HB assist, BandO sound system, privacy glass and dimming and folding mirrors. There are a couple more but too long to write.
The price I've had for that is around £35,000 but will try to get a bit more off (currently have almost 13% off).
Also I've got current stranded 18inch alloys but do you think I should go for MAG ride but does that mean I'll have to upgrade to 19inch?
Now I've had info from the Mec forum and I think it's time I get your take on it. I've been told the S3 is the most stolen car in the UK, this sort of worries me and sort of doesn't as I'll be getting keyless go and whether this makes it an easier target will be interesting. The current S3 at the moment to me is quite bland even though I like it but if I had to choose out of these two which to go for it will be the AMG (at this moment in time). Since I'll be placing a new order from factory with the new FL version of the S3 coming next year I would it seems prefer to purchase that.
Please be fair and honest with your assessment of the S3.
Thanks
