i'd either get the Evo or an A4 2.0T quattro - the later ones remap to 305bhp at Stage 1.

rs3 - to much money. Drove a friends to be honest was not that impressed.

If i bought an s3 i would end up tuning it to the same extent as the golf which is pointless because id basically be spending alot of extra money just for 4wd.

I think i will try and find a low millage evo 8 and just buy a cheap run around , That way the evo is non essential but can be used for some fun might be a pain to fit in the garage with a track car tho. Think i will leave it until after Christmas and see what i can get for about 11k and leave 4 k for a daily  :laugh:

What about an S4 instead of an RS4 and just map it???

You don't know much about that engine then  :innocent:

Ooh do tell?

Mapping either will only give about 15bhp !

I was thinking the 3.0TFSI but it's probably still a little out of his price range.
