Colleague at work just had to have a brand new engine put in his 1500 mile old SLK. £17k warranty bill. :grin:

Wasn't it Adam  who needed a new cylinder head on his brand new rs3, and in the end rejected it cause it was still fooked. Probably has new engine now. Our c-class has been bullet proof and have ordered a new c-class coupe which arrives on the 23rd. Really nice cars

Loads of horror stories out there across the brands if you look close enough.

458 BBQ Sir? TSI Cam chain tensioner. Coilpacks, etc etc.

Absolutey, the amount of cars churned out of the factory, there are always going to be issues.

other thoughts..:

1M coupe, 335bhp and rwd, 4 seats and lots around mid-thirties, seem to be holding their value well:

and, leftfield choice, cosworth tweaked impreza wrx sti hatch - 395bhp 4wd:

Or an M135i 5 door hatch.

In your shoes though an RS3 sounds ideal.

Can we place bets on how long the RS3 lasts?

I guarantee mine will be far less exciting. Certainly no Porkas in there. There are about 14x Mk2 Golfs and 3x Mk1 Golfs though. Various stages of tune.

Hang on a second lads, let me get my cock out first!!!

Keep your sordid pleasures to yourself!!  :signLOL:
