Looking to buy and s3!

Post by s3matt » Wed Aug 24, 2005 9:56 am

Hi everyone,

I am new to the forum and just thought I would do some research into an s3!

I currently drive a golf VR6 highline and love it, but am tempted by an s3.

I was just wondering a few things before I set out to buy one....

1. How quick would the s3 be in comparison to a VR6?
2. Are there any common problems with the s3?
3. Are they as bullet-ptoof as everyone makes out, or do they require high maintence?
4. How do they perform against othe cars in thier catagory e.g seat cupra's, civic type r's etc. etc.
5. Is there much difference between the phase 1 s3 and phase 2 facelift model

Any advice would be much apreciated!
Thanks
Matt :wink:
