Grande Punto Mjet220s audi s3

Overview Gallery Discussion

Introduction

So seen as my punto died the plan was to stage 2 hybrid but the night before i thought hmm is it worth 2k to do what an s3 already does, bearing in mind id already spent 4-5 in repairs, nope, so sadly let the punto go for £500 eeeek and had to start from scratch with all my savings :( here it is

Cheers buddy dont know what to do all my plans are map n refurb wheels think im just gonna keep it completely standard looking, was tempted to paint mirrors and brakes purple lol but not sure wabted black audi badges but they dont seem to do them for this s3

May just wait till end of month need 2 tyres too
 
Given the (lack of) reaction to your purchase, I'd say Audis leave fiat owners cold. I used to think of s3s as really fast but the modern wave of 250+bhp hatches has changed my perception. Still, my dad's 170bhp Alfa feels quick compared to my factory t-jet so the s3 must be in a different league.

The new s3s are 300bhp so yeah i think there still a quick hatch lol

Would that be a giulietta? I just got one last week to replace my gp. Still miss the gp's cornering, but maybe it's because i don't know the alfa well enough yet
 
Yeah, the 1.4 multiair, cracking engine but don't expect to hit 40mpg very often. Personally I think the Alfa handles much better than my t-jet, it has sharper turn in, more steering feel and it copes better with mid-corner bumps thanks to the multi-link rear.
 
Probably same reasons I still comment on here as I have a lot of knowledge on the GP as I had to do a lot to it over the 5 years!

However... Announcing that you have left the Fiat stable for another manufacturer concerns some people it would seem!

And the GP really does not handle that well...
