The main reason i wanted the RS3 was i preferred the look over the 7r and also i wanted that sweet sounding 5cyl engine

And of course the extreme power

What deposit on that? The Mk7 R that is

P.S sorry for hijacking!

Sometimes it's best to go with the lower miles and then pay extra for the miles you go over rather than pay upfront for it.

Re: RS3 vs 7R:


I'd like either, but think I'd save £150 a month and go with the 7R.

Another vid worth watching is the AutoExpress Focus RS vs RS3 vs Golf R one.

The Focus wins it, RS3 stone dead last.  Too nose heavy, too numb, too boring, not worth the extra money over the other 2 was the summary.  It basically is all about that engine and cabin quality.  The other 2 would run rings around it on a challenging road.

I'd take the Golf personally.  The Focus is too harsh suspension wise, the Audi too expensive.  As always, the Golf is the perfect middle ground  :smiley:

As someone said before I think your mind is pretty made up. Test driving should be done in the golf too so you can get a comparison.
