Title: My new car! Picked up on Friday!
Post by: hufcforpromotion on April 05, 2009, 10:38:24 am
Here she is my new motor! Was a bit of a saga to get her as I have been on hols in the north east of england and had to go back to scotland 500 mile roundtrip to get my log book for my trade in! I needed a change and the S3 ticks all the boxes for me! The car is so nice to drive and the finish inside is stunning! Oh and it's a lot faster than my edition 30!

Here she is mins after I picked her up:-

The calipers seem a different shape to the R32 ones!?

I think you might be wrong mate just compared to my brakes and they are different shape.

R32 ans S3 brakes are the same.  It is just the anti rattle/caliper retainers that are different.

The brakes are a different shape! They have extra pointy bits on the end of the S3 calipers! I have had an R32 so should know!

Reckon your wrong. I think they have changed them on the facelift.

Looks nice HUFC.. but for some reason, I just can't warm to the S3 - or Audis in general.  I was contemplating getting an RS4 instead an R32 and while I know its a better car the interior just didn't seem that special to me etc...  But then it'd be boring if everyone drove Golfs  :happy2:
