Edging towards the S3 but I'm not making a decision till I test drive the Cupra 300 when its available.

I think the S3 looks so much better, have you tested the s3? Then I guess

Yeah test drove it 2 weeks ago at the showroom near the Old Trafford football ground mate.

Heard a lot about the Cupra from Car Magazines saying its AWD is awful and the only reason people really bought Cupra's is the performance for money, but now the fact that its minimum spec costs £29k, it really is overpriced.

Yup the minimum spec is £29k, I'd want the same tech pack I currently have in my Leon FR which would probably put it at the same price as the S3. But then the S3 with all the tech stuff would bump it up too. I'm going to go on the S3 configurator on their site and see how much it would cost with all the kit.

I'm guessing you're into your cars, i'm the same, i was on the fence about my upgrade once i had enough money to buy a factory new car, the hot hatchbacks are hard to choose from these days, German Engineering is always one thing to consider, the reliability of an Audi as well as the S3's performance, 'sportyness' and features. The only thing the Cupra has going for it is the fact its going to be cheaper to service, personally i'd go for the S3 if i didn't already upgrade. Looks dope too

Yes I am into cars but there seems to be a lot of bad stigma about young drivers getting fast cars. They wont understand unless they are in my shoes and it just gets annoying.

The S3 would be considerably more expensive to maintain and service over a Cupra and that is something I am taking into consideration. I have a vague idea on what the price difference would be between the 2, after all the kit has been implemented etc and the S3 is around £5k more than the Cupra. One thing that is off putting about the S3 is the cost of the tech stuff, the upgrades are much more expensive than the upgrades in the Cupra.

If you have the money to pay for the S3 get the S3!!!

Dont forget the big costs for repairs and stuff with audi though

The S3 has a much nicer look, I'd go with that if you have the money to spend bro, good luck
