Crusoe Posted February 8, 2006 Report Share Posted February 8, 2006 (edited) S3 sounds nice, is it the full 225bhp version. What price for both?edit - only live once might as well get a lutus/vx type car while you can if you can live with one.

Crusoe Posted February 8, 2006 Report Share Posted February 8, 2006 personally i wouldn't even take a passenger ride in a vx220, just don't think they are safe but that's purely IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crusoe Posted February 8, 2006 Report Share Posted February 8, 2006 come down to what you are goin gto use it for, S3 is a great cruiser and has good cross country pace plus it's a nice place to be in traffic. VX is bare and uncomfortable in comparison but would be more fun on back roads. Audi is probably more expensive to run but less likely to go wrong.

Tigz™ Posted February 8, 2006 Report Share Posted February 8, 2006 S3 I sort of like.But I sort of like a mk4 Golf for the same reasons.VX :Yawn: How about somthing that everyone else hasn't got style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":P" border="0" alt="tongue.gif" />Whats up, you missing going for a drive with Snoop style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":P" border="0" alt="tongue.gif" />How about a CTR?At least you shouldn't be able to break it style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimonJ Posted February 8, 2006 Report Share Posted February 8, 2006 you'll get the hump with a standard s3 mate...slow....heavy...not actually a quattro...i could go onif it's between those two...go with a vx and learn to live it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyW Posted February 8, 2006 Report Share Posted February 8, 2006 VX is a great car, great looking, plenty fast enough for UK roads etc etc, and if you can live with one everyday then go for it.But for me, out of those two, for where I live and the driving I do, I'd go for the Audi without question. If I were you, then I might go with the VX. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snoopy Posted February 8, 2006 Report Share Posted February 8, 2006 Have you driven an S3? I was looking at an early one long before I got the Lupo, as my first decent-performance car.Very good on the motorway but they felt as dull as ditchwater to drive fast. I mean, they are fast, but in terms of grins the Lupo was by far and away more entertaining to drive.I think you really need to sort out your priorities - the fact that you are even considering both an S3 and a VX220, when they're so totally different in almost every way, shows you don't really know what features are important to you in a car. Before you spend a lot of money on one of them I'd recommend sorting that out, first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyp Posted February 8, 2006 Report Share Posted February 8, 2006 s3 for me, least can get in and out of it with no problems!! lmao Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tdwindustries Posted February 8, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2006 lol thanks for the replies, and the advice snoop!I know the sillyness of the options, hence the title of the thread.... they are at opposite ends of the spectrum... S3 is lardy and not great to drive round bends but very nice and VAG. The VX is fairly rare and very nice to drive indeedy....CTR good car all round but too common.S2000 still on the list, but cant get a good one for 12k.... s2k seems to be best of both worlds - comfort and sportiness and insanely quick.I just worry the vx will become a pain in the ass, literally....

Tigz™ Posted February 8, 2006 Report Share Posted February 8, 2006 I just worry the vx will become a pain in the ass, literally....
