After months of deciding which car to go for and then weeks of finding the "right one" with abusive phone calls from dealers and "wasted" money on inspections I have finally found my new pride and joy! Without further ado I present to you my new Audi S3:
2001 Audi S3 Facelift, 47k on the clock with 5 stamps in the service book, 12 months MOT, new cambelt and refurbished alloys.
The standard spec includes leather Recaro seats, xenon headlights, auto climate control etc but this one has the additional heated seats, full glass sunroof, rear parking sensors and Bose sound system. All this points towards one very happy new owner.
Bit of a step up from a 1998 Vauxhall Astra 1.8 I can tell you. The Quattro gives you so much more confidence to get on the power in the twisties. Suffice to say I haven't had long in it yet and certainly don't know what it's fully capable of, but I am hugely impressed so far. Can't wipe the grin off my face!
You could argue that a BMW 3-Series is a better drive or that the Leon Cupra R is cheaper or indeed many more arguments. I can only say that the Audi was the car I was attracted to most. I felt more at home with it and after test driving one simply knew that it was what I wanted.
Let me know what you think!
