Audi S3
Yes, I know this is a japanese club so I probably won't get too far here but come on, try your level best to be even slightly unbiased!
I'm looking at changing cars, I do this very often. Currently have a lovely IS300 which I do enjoy a lot but can't help my eyes wandering anymore, really like the look of Audi S3's (The older shape, I'm not rich) and was wondering if anyone here had any experience, first hand or otherwise?
My brother had one as a company car - he said and these are his words!!!
"they are great whilst in warranty, out of warranty it will drain your wallet"
The amount of times it was in the stealership was worrying for a "quality" brand. It had a new cylinder head after 12K and then a new short engine and clutch after 60K (cracked block). After 3 years and 100K it was well worn out, but a nice enough car.
Gord had an S4 avant ask him what that was like can't be much difference between the 2 engine wise.
Gord True mate i did have Audi S4 Avant 4.2 V8 344bhp model, sold car, loved it mate, i miss it to, power all the way, only had one problem, coil pack £27 to replace, service history is a must have, being a 4.2 v8 mpg was not its strong point hock: but i knew this before i got it :thumbup1: mine was a 2004 model and the cabin build was fantastic, much better then the BMW 330d i had of the same year.
