Z4 M Coupe

Just looked at those links...fook me' those are dear!!

At that newer A3 money I'd be walking right by and buying a RS or RS4. Would be more fun to drive!

 

[Boydie]

£30k car new standard - not badly priced IMO

 

[Jason]

Anyone who pays 20k for an 2nd hand A3 needs there head looked

 

[Woodcutter]

An orange S3?! Come on, Boydie!!

I paid more than that for my old S3 back in 2004, worth every penny IMO, loved that car.

 

[Boydie]

I have zero regrets buying my S3 and spending the money I have on it - totally worth it!

Wouldnt mind one of these

So a fully loaded Evo 9 GT wouldnt appeal? lol!

 

[andy_gdon]

You could get a super mint fq360mr evo 9 for that money-properly fun awd car!!

In a choice between S3 or Evo 9, no contest for me, I would take the Audi. You know my views on Evos though.

Gary - in 18 months time I think the RS3 would be the car to buy, it's going to be fantastic.

Scirocco is only FWD, no use...I'd have the Golf R which has Haldex 4WD system, it's had rave reviews.

Boydies not a Jap lover ... so an Evo 9 probably wouldnt ... Although after being in his S3 its one seriously sharp car ... would tempt me to a quattro at some stage just an epic all round car IMO

S3 would be an absolute Z fest compared to an Evo

At least people don't expect you to be smeared in Argos jewellery, hooded tops and Burberry hats when you step out of the Audi.

 

[Jason]

Think your completely wrong on the image thing Graeme, take a look over on the MLR, alot of knobs on it but some very very smart people producing great cars and track times!

The image I have in my head of an S3 driver would just be of someone who couldnt afford to run an Evo or knows much about cars and wanted the soft approach.. lol

 

[Woodcutter]

I'm going by what I see regularly on our shores though, not owners in England/Scotland/Wales.

Granted not all owners here are like that, but unfortunately the majority are in my experience, especially in the more affordable models.

 

[Jason]

I think the fix your looking for would be sorted by a properly prepped Evo, would certainly teach you some manners on the track.

 

[andy_gdon]

Horses for courses jas!

What people expect to see driving particular cars doesn't affect my car choice. It's not often a teacher rocks up to work in an evo lol

Funny thing is, it's mostly S3 owners that wanted to race me' when in my evo's and focus I would have put them down as being more mature owners

 

[Woodcutter]

I don't doubt for a second that an Evo is a cracking car dynamically, but I couldn't own one...a hooker could give me the ride of my life, but I wouldn't want to go out with her or introduce her to my friends!

I do like the Evo X RS, the one Jonny from AI has is lovely...I could drive one of those.

I tell you what I did see the other day that I liked, a white Impreza hatch at the Maxol filling station opposite the Scirocco works. Looked proper mean...

 

[Jason]

You can get the new scooby in saloon too... stunning!

 

[p 5ary]

ive seen a blue hatch impreza and thought bloody heck photos do not do this car justice! looked great and practical

 

[Ben P]

I cant imagine Woodcutter climbing out of an Evo, no matter what bhp/what is done to it. He strikes me as a man that likes a car that carries a bit of prestige, something no mitsi evo will offer. An evo is a wannabe rally car with a plastic interior and not in the same league as a csl/rs or s audi etc. I thoroughly enjoyed the reference above to a hooker, but you wouldnt want to bring her home! Haha.

 

[Boydie]

Dont insult me with this evo9 chat lol

Joking of course - lovely cars I think but wouldn't be for me at all!

shut it or i'll hit you over the head with my can of tennants super and set my staffy on ya .
your right to a point tho. as evo prices drop and fall into the 5 or 6 grand bracket .
tbh the (also only partly correct) stereotypical image of the bmw/audi driver is a reason i'd be unlikely ever to own 1...
now its nearly 9 am. so well past time for my 1st buckfast....

 

[Gaz]

I wouldn't compare an S3 and Evo at all. They may have 4wd and turbo engines, but asides from that they're totally different and aimed at entirely different markets. The person who is in the market for a luxury hatch like the S3 is hardly going to consider the more hardcore rally-inspired Evo, and vice versa.

 

[SMB]

E92 M3 would be quite the replacement!!

 

[Woodcutter]

No more BMW's, I've had three in a row now so I think it's time for a change.
