Ultimately it depends whether you are brand loyal as well. I love being part of the VAG enthusiast scene as well, and whenever I own something else, regardless of how good it is, I wish I had chosen the VW equivalent instead.

I'd have an S3 over an S5, I'm sure whatever you get Darren it will be immense when your finished with it  :happy2:

Darren,

I friend of mine tried the merc e class, audi a5, and bmw 5 series. He said the audi (3.0tdi) was the quickest of the bunch, but felt very numb as said above. He went for the 5 series in the end  :smiley:

Although for that kind of money.. might be worth looking at

I do enjoy this game  :grin:

Just looked at one of them but a couple of G more and a lot less mileage

ahh that is nice Darren! Can help have a soft spot for 4 doors and v8 power  :driver:

The new gen 2.0T quattros with 211PS remap stage 1 to over 300bhp. I'd pick that instead personally. Less weight, lower fuel bills, same power. With an S-Line kit they even look basically the same
2006 Phantom Black A3 2.0T S-Line
DSG | Rear Parking Sensors | MFSW | BOSE | Auto lights/wipers | Half leather
MODS : '09 tail lights | TT vents | Bilstein B14 | RNS-E 2010 | AMI | AKS Tuning custom CAI | Titanium BBS VZs | NQS BBK | WALK | Autotech RARB | Bluemotion aero | Blueflame TBE | Autotech HPFP | MY11 Wing Mirrors | Bluetooth | S3 Intercooler
PLANS: Stage 2+
