Defo agree, all the top car dealers have all gone backwards on their design in 2020 - ( Except the A class) New Gen Golf looks average at best BMW 1 series design is questionable Audi's Design trying way too hard to look sporty. (they have lost the sleeky design look from the previous version) Mercedes is the only hatchback advancing in its design style

In Australia our VAG cars come straight away with most of options. Besides sunroof, and if you want some special colour . But with everything else . So I am talking Golf R , RS3 , S3 . I got RS 3 love IT :)
@dbogdan173 жыл бұрын
I feel that vag is clearly differentiating the Golf R from the S3. S3 is more on the plush side .... a gentlemens small saloon with a decent punch while the Golf R, more of a enthusiast's coup of tea. Btw, racebox times 100-200 kmh seem to make the new S3 at least 1.5s faster than the previous non opf 7.5R so i think that because it's more confortable and maybe better sound proof it tricks you into thinking it's not as fast.

As always - a great honest review. I have always been a fan of the Audi S & RS series cars being a VAG fanatic (I've aspired to an RS3 / TTRS after my current Golf Edition 30). However, i think Audi have lost their way here. This S3 looks very fussily designed, the wheels are terrible, and in the words of James May, I'd say the front is 'gopping'.

Can’t help but thinking back to the model progression of the past, say the Mk1 golf, great little car, but the Mk2 arguably the far better car right up , VW lost their way with the mk3 and mk4 aside from a couple of versions until the Mk5 put that right again. Seems history may be repeating itself with the Audi A3 range, seem to have focussed on tech and silly styling, the RS may be a bit more of a revelation, but i can’t help thinking it will be numbed by the opf and all the silly gadgets on it
