hmm you're right the diesels are a lot more popular, emissions and that. like you, i'd only ever buy a diesel or the S/RS models in future. already got a savings fund for the new S3 lol

On the road mine doesn't understeer to badly, in fact, you have to be driving like a total knobhead to get it to do so.  :innocent:

I heard with the right modifications apparently these understeery VAGs dominate race series  :surprised:

With the new platform I'm sure it'll be a really good car, but it's another Russian Doll Audi. It's a shame they've gone down the same road that Peugeot and Mercedes have made the mistake of going down in recent times. Both of those companies are now investing a lot in making each model range distinctive.
