Know what you mean on the Porsche front, they are looking old on the 996, but I have always fancied one as they are amazing drivers car. The S3 feels faster, but less involving. All the 997's at Porsche main dealers (only place I would buy one) are £45k+ and I don't want to spend more than £35k as I'm a tight wad! Cayman S felt equally slow, but a monumentally good drive, so as this was high on the list in my last thoughts of changing, it really needs to be reconsidered (with a Chrono Pack, Nav and 19's).
RS4's are amazing, but one of the few cars I've never driven, so can't wait to try it tomorrow. Long journey of 2.5hrs each way to try it out . Not looking forward to deconstructing the S3 to make it standard if we choose this route. Such a ruination of a great car. May have someone who will buy it as is, so will call them today.
About time Spin got some photos up of his for us.
Very well put Warren. What do you mean by the S3 being less involving? If I hgh bends with the new ARBs.
Anyway, I wasn't knocking RS4, as for me as an all round car its just fantastic, rock solid build, beautiful cabin, looks gorgeous, practical and quick, just wasn't as quick as I was expecting, its a very very heavy car though. The cayman S sounded sweet though, but no enough power, and if you feel that way from a test drive, how about 6 months + of ownership.
Its a shame really, as a stage II + S3 is a very quick car and you put yourself on a high pedestal, just get an R8 warren
