Superb car. It's the same as a Golf R32 in an Audi shell. Love it.

I'm looking at the new S5 Sportback for the wife. Just waiting on more inventory to land here in the states.

VAG have a terrible rap over here in Australia
haha. I used to own a WRX. I loved the thing. It was fun as hell and extremely reliable. But the s3 is more fun and the WRX felt lower rent in comparison. Just my opinion. That said, the s3 will probably be less reliable. You got me there.

Ok. That's weird. My original post got deleted and the thread starter reassigned?

What gives?

EDIT: Looks like mods moved it without notification. Nice.

How about a little love for Subie!
I got a 2017 WRX base and 2009 135i for my daily.
My 1st Subaru and I really like it.
Like it so much that I offered to trade in the X6M for an Outlander and the wife politely declined.

all in jest, the S3 looks great I'm sure your wife will enjoy it . I have quite a few WRX STIs - they are a lot of fun and still brilliant for hill climbs etc.

Are you congratulating yourself for buying a new car?

We have owned Subies and Audis over the years. They are both great cars, in their own way. My wife's daily driver is an SQ5 that we custom ordered from the factory with the exact specifications that we chose. It was my first time to order a car, and I really enjoyed the experience (except for the wait!).

I'm sure the S3 will be a great car.
