OT - Audi S3 or Civic Type R

[Anonymous]

just thought id ask for opinions on both cars which you would have and your reasons for it.

Audi S3 ranges from 99 to 03 and have 210 bhp or 225 bhp. earlier ones are 210 bhp.

Civic Type R ranges from about 01 and have 197 bhp.

thanks

Sorry Rob but neither.

Audi - dull as dishwater. No personality. May as well buy a Skoda IMHO and save yourself a wedge.

Britvic Type (A)R(SE) - One word - CRASS. Personally I think it looks and sounds awful. Not my cuppa char.

Alfa 147 or MK1 SEAT Leon on the other hand.

Well, if the choice was limited to those two vehicles, It would have to be the Audi, but I agree, there are much better cars out there.....


...like the Ford Mondeo !!! LOL

But yes, Alfa 147 wuold be good. Have you seen the new Astra VXR ? Looks pretty tasty.

I spoke to the owner of a Hyundai Coupe Mk2 the other day. 2.7L V6 Coupe for sub £19K OTR is ****in' stunning


hides in corner, waiting for response !!

Audi S3.

If you are going to buy something I would agree with Ozzic-al I would get Alfa 147 GTA.

I think the Alfa 147 gta is an amazing car but has higher depreciation value compared to the Audi S3

 

[Roberto]

Seriously tho', the Hyundai looks the tits

Only from certain angles Rob. Still think the front and rear let it down very badly. Still, it is a hell of a lot of car for the money.

As for the Mundaneo I think you should trade it for something with a little more style: -

personally id go for the s3, love em lots after playin in my uncles.

the type r is way to common, looks like a box and has to be driven really hard to excell.

and if the 147 gta was an option then it would blow them both away

lol al i love that comment about the skoda. u obviously dont know it is a skoda...

audi - vw - skoda - seat are all the same cars

audi s3 is the equvilent of the ibiza but with the bigger engine thats in the leon cupra r.

u will pay more insurance for the audi that u will a skoda or seat even tho they are basically the same car

[rsmallwo]

what is it

whats that car then Rob?

 

[marko]

Forget the type R. Just dreadful in every sense.

The only comments i've heard about the S3 is that the Quattro drive will have you going through tyres like toilet roll after a bad case of the squits. Not really a factor if you can insure and buy one but TBH i'd have the Cupra Leon. Basically the same but with better looks and an equally dull interior.

 

[Ozric-Al]

Smee I am well aware that all those cars are basically the same car hence the comment. Buy the Skoda and save some wedge.

Keep up lad.

Type R

My lady bought a type R home from work once when our car (pre-Bravo) blew up. It may not be a 147 but we certainly tore up sussex in it. The straight line speed was certainly fun.

I must say however the seat set up did not impress me. That whole MPV spacious cabin thing really detracted from getting 'in-touch' with the road. I prefer a less disembodied drive.

Despite this my misses looks longingly every time we pass one (she prefers the mark 1 where the indicators are not on the wing mirrors)!

Of the 2 I prefer the audi to look at.

Of course I will never have the chance to make such a decision myself sob sob sob.

 

[jay]

i'm pre programmed to prefer the honda (first bike and current bike etc!) so i'd say the civic, but for some reson i think if i was gonna but anythin else id go for, a 406 coupe... 3.0 v6 210bhp, leather/aircon and the rest for dirt cheap these days! (sorry but i think they look great!) dont buy the audi tho, quick it may be but the handling really isnt all that "numb steering..." etc agreed that the leon may be a better bet! i'll get my coat...
