Just been told my M2 is now due to land before the end of the year. Ordered last March.

And they also need final spec in next few days......so need to give it some head space.
New car time doesnt excite me like it used to.....especially speccing up.

Provisional P/X figures on S3 looking 'ok ish'. £19-£20k with just under 3 years and 22k miles. New was about £33k IIRC.
There options list for the car...is small in comparsion to say a RS3 /S3..,,etc....no wonder it's a seller a bargain starting from £44k....colour choices are extremely limited though......anyway that Miami Vice blue colour....????

Bargain, what company was it? I have a mate who is looking to change his old GTi Golf for a new one.

It's a company central vehicle leasing although I know a few others that have done the same deal. However all the cars went within 24 hours. I assume it's vw's way of getting rid of the last of the pre facelift gti's as I believe there are going to be a few changes to the mk7.

It's a strange deal... VW pay me £744 and then I pay them back the £2400 deposit plus the £744. The same thing happened with the Mrs GTD deal. All sounds weird but I'm not fussed! Better than the £2k cars I was looking at buying

Was going to be RS3 saloon next year but seeing it its way to soft for my liking and don't think it will be worth the money compared to the S3. so options are

2017 M5 as its supposed to have 600bhp and 4WD. Had one before but just no good in North Scotland weather being RWD

or

Keep the S3 as it should be cheap to run and more or less ticks most boxes for me and buy something daft (Lambo like) or old, Escort cossie or the like.

Been having a wee think on this one and I've gotta admit I'm a tad disappointed with the Audi facelift lineup.

S5 has a cracking interior as Jassy mentioned but not completely sold on the exterior styling, particularly the bonnet something not quite right (too square I think).

RS3 saloon..............kinda of nearly there. Love the back end but the front isn't quite happening for me and agree again that the interior could, and should, have been upgraded more to justify the RS badge and cost. To be honest I think the Clubsport concept has killed the RS3 saloon for many of us!!

TTS/RS .................hands down the creme da la creme in the styling department and probably interior too, but it's not gonna tick the practicality box for me .....................and besides I'd never live the hairdresser jokes down!! lol

So.................I guess it's wait and see for now..................just gonna enjoy my S3 which I still love :)

Major bugbear of mine these concept cars, don't show us something to get us drooling that will never reach production and thus never going to own!:grumpy:

Back on subject, I will be looking at an S version though not sure what, got another 2 years yet but looking already......

Nice one thanks for that, this the one? https://www.centralukvehicleleasing.co.uk/.

As for my next car...after seeing the white S3 FL posted the other day I was almost sold on another S3....BUT!!! I've checked out the prices of a new A5 coupé and it's coming in around the same monthly as my current S3. The S3 is an awesome car and I love the power and quattro, but the shape of the A5 coupé reminds me of a car that I always wanted but is a left hand drive and over my price range = Chevrolet Camaro

I've ticked the FL S3 coz the Saloon is already on order.
But might look at the RS3 Saloon next time, just a pity it wasn't out in time for me this time around.
There's certainly a good chance it'll be an Audi given me and the wifes car history.

We have used them before and they were spot on. Yes it had miles on it as it was driven from Cardiff dealership. It did have a full tank of fuel and had been washed shortly before delivery.

For £107 a month as long as it doesn't turn up pink I'm not really bothered!

Fair enough but my experience from them was totally different,ordered pearlescent white, delivered with flat Opal white, it was a RCZ

There are only 4 colour options......so I think it's currently the blue for me (over black/white/grey).
Going pretty basic spec....as you say Jassy....****** all options.

Wait list is over 2 years now at my dealers and flipping on a premium.
The reviews are very good.....so actually looking forward to changeover for first time in a while.

The TT has definitely lost its hairdresser image with latest model.
My Mrs had a Silver mk2 with red leather interior and rotor style wheels.
it was a fantastic car.

I love the new TTRS - but price when specced up is just eye-watering.

Looking at that pic Matt...I would say only 'dummies' go for beemers......:whistle2:

It's a good job there's a few members who are no longer active you'd have got nailed to the wall for that one mate!! lol

Beemers go for a totally different look, much more aggressive, in yer face, 'look at me' kinda thing ..............Audis are all about subtle and lines.....................it's all about the lines my dear boy!! lol

I am glad you said that. I was (genuinely) going to ask your opinion on colour Jassy - as I have never known anyone as 'enthusiastic' about car colours as you.....especially bues!

Fortunately with only 4 options, it was just elimination. Dont want black or white (show dirt) and wifes car is grey. So blue it is!

@Soulboy White is extremely easy to keep looking clean and tidy. Most think it will show up dirt as bad as black does but it doesn't. Depending on the condition of my back in 15 months I'll go Blue or White. Blue if I'm good, White if I'm not. Not had blue in a long time, 2002 tonne exact. Time I went back to it.
