All the audis looks very similar. When I got the s3 sportback my mate thought it was an a4 estate.Looks pretty similar to the new A1, I'm sure people who don't know better would struggle to tell them apart.

The lower front bumper won't look like that,too concept car like, not impressed to be honest, as I have said before the clam shell style bonnet not hitting the front grill is a design faux pas and again it's cost cutting.... Vauxhall and Ford design the bonnet and front bumpers in the same way, rear wings are nothing like what the camouflaged test car has,, be interesting to see what the new BMW 1 series looks like, it can't look any worse than this close render of the A3 doesNo idea how accurate it is, but seems to align relatively well with previous spyshots.
Not a fan of the new huge grille at the front too, saw a new A7 the other day and even on a big car it looks out of proportion...The lower front bumper won't look like that,too concept car like, not impressed to be honest, as I have said before the clam shell style bonnet not hitting the front grill is a design faux pas and again it's cost cutting....

I’m interested in BMW too, I’m hoping the all new 1 series isn’t too long away especially the xdrive 140i which is rumoured. I’m hoping it gets the new 7.0 idrive too with the Audi style virtual cockpit that’ll really move their interiors on. Fingers crossed they keep the 3 door!

Don’t know if it’s just me and I can tell the difference but at a glance they look almost the same.
It's the interior of a car that is important to me. Many similar sized models look similar but the interior is what makes the difference. Are the seats comfortable, is the dash pleasant to look at, are the controls straight forward to use. After all I spend far more time looking at the interior that I do looking at the exterior.
BMW interiors are just......black, and very very bland.
I’d fall asleep if I ever drove one for longer than a few miles.
BTW I love the look of that ‘new’ A3.....here’s hoping it resembles the picture.
Interior is deffo important to me. Probably just a bit under exterior. I cant say equal as I'm not gonna drive a horrible looking car, even if the interior is lush.
I've never found anything wrong with the interior if bmw though. Not sure what people have against them really. I hated the 8V interior to begin with tho, thought it was too boring. I suppose virtual cockpit makes it more interesting but the rest of the dash is still very basic. But I prefer it to say a golf with a huge touchscreen and lots of buttons, even the golf steering wheel confused me when I had a test drive.
What?Elaborate.... keyboard warrior....when have you driven a all new BMW lately...
I asked you if you had been in or driven any of the new BMW models just released and well have you?????What?
People are usually labelled keyboard warriors when they are trolling or being abusive, so forgive me for being confused.
For some reason you seem to have some kind of ‘God like’ reputation amongst certain members on here but that doesn’t give you the right to talk to me like that.......keyboard warrior.
My comments about BMW’s appear to have offended you, strange to say the least. Do you own BMW the company? I’m asking because that is the only logical reason why it would have offended you.
I don’t like BMW’s. I’m sure there are things I like that you don’t but I’m mature enough to understand that we all have different opinions, Jesus.
Sandra, read my post directly before his reply......if you think I said something to warrant being called a keyboard warrior then I will happily apologise.Cut out the bickering. Try and get along for at least 24 hours please guys.
Anyhoo... I like the render. Not sure if I'll be staying with Audi next as they're getting stupidly expensive for a decent model now.

I doubt that, as they (BMW) are involving drives...in the dry, and x drive sorts out the wet.
I will definitely be having a browse outside of Audi next time as have now had 3 in a row. That said I do have a serious RS itch I WILL scratch at some point
Nice one, I respect your opinion mateI doubt that, as they (BMW) are involving drives...in the dry, and x drive sorts out the wet.
I will definitely be having a browse outside of Audi next time as have now had 3 in a row. That said I do have a serious RS itch I WILL scratch at some point
My concern of scratching the RS itch is that at the end of it, it would probably be tough to not get another RS!!! I said I would get this S3 as a bit of fun and then go back to something more sensible, but yeah... I don't see that happening !I doubt that, as they (BMW) are involving drives...in the dry, and x drive sorts out the wet.

Yup, think the FL will have to be the upgrade. Just means 3 8V's in a row. Though a virtual cockpit could spice the interior up enough to make it feel differentMate the S3 is great fun. The FL is so much louder/more fun than PFL (other way round with RS it seems...at least as far as noise but not power goes). I had a S3 for the the day a few months back, really enjoyed and so did my boys.

No I haven’t matey but I was just basing my opinion on the BMW’s I have driven.....dull and uninspiring.
And I don’t ever recall raving on about Audi interiors, I’ve merely mentioned it once in this thread, hardly raving about it is it.
You took offence because I said I didn’t rate BMW’s and if that touched a nerve that isn’t my problem, it’s yours.
And yes, you appear to have this ‘God like’ reputation/following (no idea why) and yet on a couple of very innocent posts I have made in the past you seem to have taken exception to them. Perhaps certain people here find your apparent drunk act amusing, others find it embarrassing.
If you don’t like my opinions then instead of calling me names just don’t bother saying anything. I get on with everyone, but if you come at me for no reason then I’ll come back at you.
Your ‘reputation’ means jack sh!t to me so do us both a favour and don’t bother responding to my (non offensive) posts.
Just my opinion.
Have a great evening
In which case I wouod hope that the next new platform S3 will raise the game again
I like the render above & think it looks quite striking & aggressive & have no reason to doubt the new platform S3 will be a great car.
The A3 / S3 has always been a great Audi car - as the Golf is to VW - so why will the new one not be ?
I do have one concern though & that is the price ... they are getting out of hand now as others have said.
I would still take an Audi or VW over a BM though (sorry Jassy) they just do not float my boat at all ... I’d even have a new Merc A Class over one as I just prefer the styling.
But that’s not to say BM’s are rubbish, I’m sure they are great, but just not for me. I’m sure I will stick with the VAG brand.[/QUOTE
l disliked BMW's as much as you do mate....but the new BMW's interiors are as good as Audi are now fact...Audi are just.....moving sideways in design like the A5/A4/A7............Best looking car they have is the new A6....Stunning looking car
But hey BMW are selling more cars now in the UK than Audi.....l aint biased in anyway....my opinion is based on actual facts and with more Xdrive models coming soon...ergo...every car maker.....has there ups and downs
Ah price........You'll pay £45k for a good spec next gen S3 in its first year of production......Easily......not far off your RS3....Price?
