Simonl Posted January 27, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2006 FYI, i photochopped one earlier based on a different Spy pic and some more info on wheels etc. Would you lads think twice now, or are you still prefering your GTI's?!?

[/ QUOTE ] I still prefer my GTI, Leman Something iconic about the GTI, whereas the S3 does nothing for me visually, although I`m sure that, being an Audi, it`ll be an excellent car !

RedRobin Posted January 27, 2006 Report Share Posted January 27, 2006 I feel exactly the same as encee has written....I still prefer my GTI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonathansargent Posted January 28, 2006 Report Share Posted January 28, 2006 agreed - the s3 spy pic does look good - but I prefer the GTi as an aesthetic package... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PabloPablo Posted January 28, 2006 Report Share Posted January 28, 2006 Me too. I'm sure the S3 will be a absolute blast to drive, and be a desirable car to own in most ways, but it looks contrived and over-styled to me. Strange, because it's not the Audi way, but I think they're trying to make the sportier cars in the line up much more aggressive. To my eyes, they're succeeding in as much as the cars are starting to resemble night club bouncers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotw Posted January 28, 2006 Report Share Posted January 28, 2006 The s3 will be great, as long as they fix the suspension which is terrible on the current A3 Sports - thats the reason I have a GTi and not an A3 which is what I set out to buy!

RedRobin Posted January 28, 2006 Report Share Posted January 28, 2006 .....And if you were to drive either Jay's or my GTI with modded suspension, Scott, you would be even further amazed. It's only lowered 5mm (same as a Mk5 R32) but it's the FSD Konis and heavily beefed up anti-roll bars which make the difference. Surely it would be just as easy to mod the suspension on an A3/S3.
