Hello people, first post! Typically I'm seeking advice on my first! I don't actually own an Audi but could be buying one fairly soon as my post will explain...
I'm in a predicament. Hopefully some of you can help me to see things in a clearer light as I think I'm becoming confused! I need to change my car, got an estimate of £10-12k to spend. (All depends on what my house sells for) Currently my annual miles are a staggeringly low 6k which doesn't really warrant buying a diesel, but I am actively seeking to change employment which could increase the miles!
My first thought was 100% an S3, I've wanted one for years, great looks inside and out, somewhat understated too which I like but the obvious downsides are the running costs.
My current car (Leon Mk1 1.6) advertises 39mpg and the S3 says 31mpg so not a huge difference there. Perhaps my right foot may become heavier but what I really would appreciate is the power when I need it.
Second candidate was a Leon FR Supercopa. Cheap to run for the spec of the car, obvious remapping potential but more expensive as an initial outlay. Like the looks, maybe a bit too lairy.
Don't like them without the body kit on though! Minor concern about the DPF, with such low annual mileage.
Lastly I thought about a Golf. This is my least preferred choice, reasons being that my brother has one and they seem very common. Great cars, great quality and feel that seems unrivalled but I just wouldn't choose one.
Any thoughts would be great, thanks in advance
