shocked.gif Are they on crack!! For that money you don't even get Recaros, decent wheels or an "S" chassis for that matter. And as i said, I only specced it to match my S3 (where possible) - didn't even START to play with the other options!! suicide.gif

No thanks smile.gif

Hmm just specced an S4 hoping i could make it for £36k and prove that the A3 3.2 is a complete no-brainer but, surprisingly, there's a lot of things that don't come standard on an S4 either! smashfreakB.gif

I was suprised when I compared the spec of an S4 vs M3 - there's about £3k difference in list price, but when you add:

Leather

Metallic paint

Cruise Control

Park Distance Control

Memory seats

etc, the BMW is actually a bit cheaper.

Why would you want the £1,450 DSG box if you are looking to spec it like an S3?

True! Forgot i'd clicked that - happens to me with pesky options smile.gif

But on the other hand, it might as well do SOMETHING better than the S3 wink.gif And its still not exactly good value at £26.5k either!!

the good thing is that S3 prices will stay pretty solid because the new one is so expensive.

I started to spec out the 3.2 A3, but gave up because it looked like it was coming out too expensive. £28k for a none "S" medium hatchback is robbery (or stupidity if you buy one).

Oh, and What Car? didn't think too much of th 3.2's handling either frown.gif

Guess it'll have to be something else instead sekret.gif
