If you're changing cars frequently it doesn't really matter which one you go for since you won't be keeping it more than 12 months?

The deliberation factor should be much less than living with a car for several years +.

I will also vote A45 as it's away from the VAG scene and it could turn out to be screamer.

Im really stuck between the R and RS3.  I can convince myself into both.  Ive been offered a very nice deal on a full loaded Golf R, and am waiting on a couple of leads into RS3's.  Hopefully the decision will be made by this time tomorrow.  My wife likes the Golf more, and Im swayed towards the RS3.  I have a feeling she might win :wink:

Really Oli? I'm surprised by that as it ticks all the boxes.

Don't be silly!  :mad:

Mercedes is more exclusive and held in higher regard than Audi.

It does seem like Audi have done well in the UK to change perceptions of the brand. Globally BMW and Mercedes are still held in higher esteem.

Anyway back to the point of build quality and reliability, it's a Mercedes, it's not a French car. Their demons of the late 90's are behind them.
