i have an S3(1.8T) and was thinking about trading it in for a R32 untill the new S3 came out. The Audi wins hands down, its more powerful, has a better interior, and 4 rings with a red badge always goes down well
I would go for the new golf gti anniversary model. It has 220 hp gets to 100 in 5.9 or there abouts and comes in around the $60 K mark. There are only limited numbers in nz.
The s3 is quicker and hits 100 in 5.7 seconds. Once its chipped this will drop further. The r32 isn't that quick and would be blown away. The r32 weighs more and has 250 bhp against 260 for the s3.
