The estates are good for moving all those crates around

Have now upped my budget to around £18k,

I’d anyone sees a Mk7.5 Golf R or facelift 8V S3 please let me know

Have seen a 2018 Navarra blue facelift S3, 66k miles, with VC and most of other options apart from SS seats for £18k private sale in England,
Also there’s the 100k miles one above for £15.7k from a dealer in England with VC

Can only see a few non-red Mk7.5’s for under £18k, around the 70k miles

Don’t really have access to Facebook groups etc

They’re cool but looking something a bit more prestige for a change I think…

This 340i is intriguing as fully specced out,
Not xdrive but seems the B58 engine is pretty reliable - could be a practical nice daily?

From front to back, just looks like a 318 until you see the badge on the boot - great cars and I've a close friend with an estate version with stage 1 tune, Eventuri intake and uprated diff - goes like the clappers and handles brilliantly

Yea apart from thr back with the exhausts and badge it’s hard to tell the difference from my previous F30 330d… better sound tho ..

The one above has seemingly every option inc HUD, sign rec, all MS brake options, rev camera etc…but for some reason it doesn’t have the adaptive suspension…

I’m my 330d the adaptive suspension was a must apparently so wondering what these are like on normal Msport suspension …?

Also- running costs compared to an R or S3?

Can’t notice any difference with the adaptive suspension in our 435 and the standard suspension in the x5!

More or less exactly the same - i think the S3 is slightly lighter but just depends on your commute/driving style

I get anywhere from 280-340 miles per tank (mostly 300+) and that's with Stage 3 power

Can’t warm to the looks enough to choose it over the other options …

Think I’m going to pull the trigger on a Navarra blue facelift S3 sportback in the next couple of days …
Unless something else pops up before then.
The virtual cockpit in the Audi helps a lot, tho impossible to find the VC along with the SS seats.

By all accounts the Golf is the more nimble car for chucking about but my driving will be quick blasts here and there and more wanting a nicer interior -
Not that there’s too much in it now with the 7.5

I’ll have the E46 for summer/ warmer months and weekends so I think the S3 will be a class daily all
Year round - and will be the newest most modern car I’ll have owned tbf

I have no idea if these are in budget but can you get a c43 AMG for that £? The Merc interiors are something else

I briefly looked at A35/A45’s but appeared they had all kind of nightly faults /common issues - more than S3/Golf etc
I do like the looks of them tho…
Running costs /mpg appear to be lot worse too for a daily

Finally…Deposit paid for facelift S3

Should be a much nicer daily than my 2008 Leon FR TDI!
