Could this be the worst question I could ask here??
« on: February 20, 2012, 09:32:37 pm »
Hi all..
here goes..

Is there an equivalent forum that caters for the Audi marque?
I'm now considering an S3 and Id love to know as much about them as I now do about the MK5! :)

Id like to be fully aware prior to purchase.

Again.. sorry for this awful question.  :smiley:

I know what you mean as they have lots of similarities.. but I guess, its things like, extras (are xenons std), limited editions. Untill I found this forum, I wouldnt have known about the different editions of the MK 5 or about the highline dash, Multi-function wheel etc etc..

Im sure you catch my drift :)

The S3 is just a Golf in a fur coat, most things learned here apply to the S3

As previously said most things learnt about the mk apply to the S3 :happy2:

As for forums as previously said there is Audisport.net but im sure if you post the questions on here you will get the correct answers, there are a number of S3 owners on here too :happy2:

Xenon's are standard, there are no special editions as such but there is the Black edition which has the black styling pack, Bose, Privacy glass and titanium 5 spoke alloys.

Can't say I blame you mate. Until the Golf R hits a realistic price as a used proposition, the S3 is the only way to get the perfect blend of 2.0TFSi and 4wd.

It'll be on my next shortlist for sure. I miss 4wd  :sad1:

Audi-sport is full of t*ssers

I drive an 8P 2.0T FWD and this place has been much more helpful. Anything that's Audi specific (interiors, retrofits etc) is usually fairly straight forward but if you get stuck VAGOC is a good place to start. Marc over there knows everything about 8P. Anything he doesn't know ain't worth knowing

Seriously tho I'd stay away from Audi-sport. I'm never going back there
