Quote from: Little_Dave on April 04, 2014, 08:42:17 pmMade the swap from a stage2+ GTI to a standard facelift S3 a few months ago and am very happy I chose the S3 as a replacement Performance wise a standard S3 with dsg like mine feels if anything a bit quicker than my GTI did, not sure whether it's down to the 4wd or the dsg or both but it just seems to take off and just keeps going, where as the GTI in anything other than a bone dry road would be struggling for grip with the traction control light flashing away Ride wise the S3 is a fair bit firmer than the GTI but it think audis are in general anyway, the only thing I wasn't happy about the ride was the front being higher than the rear looking like I had some serious weight in the boot Since then I've had some bilstein B14 coilovers fitted and some other handling mods and it's made it for me perfect Also had revo stage1 loaded and the car is a beast to drive so looking forward to stage2+ when my group buy bcs exhaust is made and ready to put on :partyDaveThank a lot dave I think I will end up with an s3. My friend who has a mk5 r32 raced his mate who had an s3 and there wasn't really anything in it. Also I believe they're 60+ bhp More standard than a normal gti.

We all know on here that an R32 is faster anyway Dave
Maps for the S4 are very very expensive!
