Audi s3 or new audi s4?

[big eck]

I'd go for the S4. Epic looking cars with a few subtle mods and the tuning potential from just a shortened pulley and a map is unreal. That charger whine as well ;)

Maps for the S4 are very very expensive!

^^^^ Your not wrong. My brother old B8 S4 generic REVO stage 1 map was well over £1000, mind you it made it a bloody monster afterwards.

Made 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  :party

Thank 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.

Lol can't really compare a 3.2 V6 to a 2.0TFSI 

S3 has bigger turbo than normal GTI too


Whichever car you go for, you'll be happy lol

We all know on here that an R32 is faster anyway

I'm going to look at an s4 tomorrow but saw one today and they're such a big Car. Pictures are very deceiving. The v6 supercharged sound is incredible, but I think it's a big step size wise from a golf.

How can you afford the insurance lol?

[GLIDN]

Maps for the S4 are very very expensive! 

Yes as S4's have 2 ECU's so basically paying for 2 ECU remaps.

How can you afford the insurance lol?

My insurance on an s4 is 900 when I'm 21 which is a couple of months away and £1,000 on an s3

[rich83]

When i was 21 i was paying 1400 quid on a 1.4tdi polo... how the hell are you getting quotes so low?

+1!!!!!! When I was 23 I was quoted nearly 2k for an S4 and the same for a scooby

[George10]

f*ck knows, that's with adian flux. I was as surprised as you lot are when they told me the price but im going to argue as I paid 4k to insure my first car which was a 1.2 fiat punto

[betty_swollox]

I'd double check all the details are right if I was you. Adrian flux refused to insure me when I was that age because I was too young apparently....

[George10]

Don't worry I double checked it was the correct car, engine size etc as I couldn't believe it
