The Cupra interior is great , but you can tell where the extra money goes!

If i had one criticiam with the Cupra, it was i used to get the engaine managment light to come on, and spin the front wheels without even trying, heavy right foot Lol

The cupra is a fantastic car for the money, but if you can go the extra, it's worth it IMHO

Thanks

Nice one - they are really nice cars, certainly a much more entertaining drive than the older model.

Nice!
Is it the latest shape?
Where did you sell your Cupra?
Were the pictures taken at Denton Reservoir?

Although nice - they are slower (due to transmission weight), but better built. Not half as much fun - maybe you're looking for affirmation from this forum, but I suggest you go to an Audi forum to get it...

Don't worry about what that lad said mate. He was out of line and does not speak for us all - actually he probably only speaks for himself.

The S3 is an awesome car and has the four wheel drive the Cupra so desparately needs, especially at this time of year. They are gorgeous inside, have a bigger intercooler and are better looking. Its not just a MK2 Leon Cupra with 4 rings on the grill and steering wheel like some people might suggest.

I have a few points for you though mate;

1) Where is your new job - You are a DJ, so can we listen to your work online?!

2) Respect for throwing caution to the wind financially - Thats a big step having to sell a car and then trading it immediately for a much more expensive car!

3) Are you going to modify it? It would respond far more favourably to a turbo back exhaust filter and remap than the likes of a Cupra in that it could handle the power much better :)

Respect. Nice one :)

I am officially drooling! My next car will be an A3 170 Quattro. I test drove one and it totally outclassed my FR TDI. Don't get me wrong, the FR is tremendous value but the Audi interior is light years ahead and the quattro makes such a difference to the handling :)

Great buy, well done!

nice car, but i'd rather the 3.2 s-line, epsecially as its half the price and not much in the performance.

It's a cracking engine, the difference in how it likes the revs was very noticeable compared to the 1.8T, not so sure there's much in it compared to the 2.0T.

All that weight up front really does make the front push. Sounds the dogs, mind.

Different strokes for different folks.

Thanks mate

No i'm not ON the radio anymore , but i'm producing for a station.

I just thought SOD IT , so i went for it !

Yeah i will mod it in time , just like the Cupra is ptting out 255-265bhp , the S3 are putting out 275-285bhp ( thats what i'm reading on Audi-sport.net ) the S3 feels faster than the Cupra did ( the Cupra would of still been TIGHT tho ) it's going on the rollers next month , if it is putting out 280bhp i will hold out i think till the warrenty runs out!

Thanks

LOL I was only joking! I love the audi's and this is THE car I would have if only i could have afforded it :(

He has done good trading his Cupra for an S3 I hope to be doing the same in a few years time with the next version of the S3!

I apologise - I've a big lover of most cars too. After re-reading what I had posted, I was shocked to discover that it comes across as being serious - it was meant to be read tongue in cheek... sorry if it caused you any offence, it was unintentional. I come from another forum whereby most of the posts are not read seriously, I guess I slipped into this mode :think:. No offence...

You could have always poked fun at my little Kit Car....

They are gorgeous inside, have a bigger intercooler and are better looking.

I agree with the first two comments but the exterior styling of the Cupra / FR (with a few additions of skirts, spolier etc) is just as nice if not better that the the Audi .
