Morning guys, i've just put in an order for an S3 Sportback having been with BMW for many years.
I originally drove one a few months or so ago and came away underwhelmed, but after going round in circles for months thinking about what to get, it felt like the best option. 2 small kids and all that. That said, I loved the sound it made from it's 4 pot, that did surprise me - although the wife wasn't too keen on the blips. It's clearly a very quick and capable car, but i suppose my problem was that i've spent the last 5 years driving around in 6cyl Diesel SUVs (BMWs).
I'm coming from an X3 3.0d MSport 2011 (Surprisingly quick). Previous cars were M135i, X5 3.0d, Golf GTi Mk6, Mini Cooper, Mercedes C320 CDI (Very Quick), X3 3.0d M Sport (Prev Gen), Golf GTI Mk5, Audi A3 3.2... that was the last time i frequented these forums.
Anyway, quick question on the Pan Roof? Does it have 2 planes of glass or just the one. Dealer seems to think there are 2 sections -front and rear, although the rear is much smaller. I'm not sure he's right but you'll be the judge of that.
