would sway between Type r depending on how it drives and Golf R provided both will be priced the same. Also would consider 135iM

The MK7 Golf R should be a brilliant drive if the MK7 GTI is anything to go buy, but in my opinion the styling is a complete failure. Too conservative for me!

Would have to be the S3 for me  :happy2:

This new Civic should be a corker. Build quality and an exciting drive. They are taking their sweet time to get it right, and testing against the mighty RS500 so they are certainly aiming high.

I prefer the S3 in saloon form, has a hint of the previous A4 in terms of profile

The R was nicer looking than the S3 with the last generation and it's the same again only the S3 is worse, rounder and softer in appearance like an A1.

I think it looks better in Saloon form but how much difference will there be between A3 and A4 saloon?

The 1.6 engine in the Civic sounds a bit weedy, sure it's plenty powerful enough but a 1.6 inline four isn't going to sound great discounting acoustic assistance.

The m135i divides opinion but between these two I'm not sure which one I prefer...leaning towards the bread van :signLOL:.

Think they both look bland above and don't look special at all
