My GTI was £22k. R was £30k. In theory I should move to £40k car next  :signLOL:

But do I need a £40k car to do the 11 miles to work?

To own a £40k and associated running costs I'd prolly need to earn double what I'm on.

I'd have to see what cars are available in that price bracket. Think it wud be RWD tho.  :happy2:

Audi RS3 in red and transfer my VW number plate  :evilgrin:

Only because it's 5-door and DSG (S-tronic).

The 7 speed S Tronic / DSG doesn't look very reliable tho.

Even tho I have a friend at Audi UK, the dealer network and customer service will put me off.

For me it'll be the 1M or used M3 V8 or Porka.

Surely a £25k Facelifted S3 Revo'd to Stage 2+ would out perform, be cheaper to run and you'd have some cash left over  :jumping:


....The RS3 has that superb 5-cylinder turbo'd engine as in the TT-RS and slightly better styling than a facelift S3 imo. It's not always about which car is the fastest.

RS3 better styling.............

Slightly OT.

TTRS (with (Led to believe) modest mods - remap Circa 400 horses, and KW Coilies, and decent track tyres) BTG 7:39.

The biggest mod is the driver, he obviously knows how to drive fast and smooth.

I will probably move on to the 1M in 12-18m time and pick one up with the right options when they are low-mid £30's.

I bought an E92M3 new and will never do that again (Great car, in fact awesome every day car). Just trying to resist spending too much on the Pirelli in the meantime......

Then again maybe a second car ......

....I meant better styling than a face-lift S3 as posted by George, not better stying than a TT-RS (totally different car type of course).  :happy2:

I hate the A3 Sportback shell, so the RS3 is still a big no from me.

....And I think that the normal A3 shell is as dull as dishwater. It's good that we each like different things  :happy2:
