Hi what would be better a R or S3 , I would like a new car and due to the limited miles I drive around 4k pa ,I want some thing with 3 doors and would need to be DSG as my wife would drive it now and again.
I currently have a estate car and a coupe , My wife won't sell the Coupe so the estate will go , our son in learning to drive so will soon be driving himself. So a 3 door is my preferred option, last winter we were stranded due to the snow and having two rear wheel drive cars so this is why I think a 4wd is the way forward.
Last year I seriously considered a ED35 and decided it just wasn't special enough.
I realise the mk6 is almost at the end of it life cycle and will be replaced by a MK7 ,Is the Audi S3 early in its life cycle or is that due to be replaced any time soon. I always change my cars at 3 yrs old and the Merc will be there come October.
We have a ED30 DSG as well and I love it !
Spec wise I think R 3 doors DSG with 19" and metallic grey with Nav is there any other must have options on a R. The ED35 worked out around 3-4 k cheaper but didn't have the 4wd and extra 35 bhp bigger brakes and also looked more special all round imo.
Any advice would be great TIA
