Av not got Audi rose tinted specs on all of the time....l seen the new A3 saloon Black edition in daytona grey on the forecourt tonight its a nice looking car don't get me wrong but...its not as nice as the 8v S3 saloon especially my own car...the 8v saloon looks more sportier, meaner...the finish on them Audi sport trapezoidal alloys ....looks weird....its not diamond cut nor is it paint....matte finish l suspect....car was sitting very high off the tires l could get 3 fingers...under the arches...and a full hand under the front....transportation blocks l presume ....Pecking order, it’s the same car mate with a different dress on.
I didn’t say you wanted a hatch but looking down on people because they chose an R over an S, come on Jassy.

I’ve only seen one on the road, was Daytona and looked quite muscular in saloon form.
The exterior really has grown me but I just can’t click with the interior.
Watched this today, from what they were able to show I think it looks really good but would chose the Taycan if going electric.
Also reported here, can see this taking quite a few S3 hatch orders off of Audi.
Like the Audi the interior is suspect but the exterior is neither worse or better.

I'll never own or want a all electric car...mate
Now I hate EV but that E Tron just has something about it!I’ve only seen one on the road, was Daytona and looked quite muscular in saloon form.

You are right. That's what forums are for.I think on the whole we are pretty good on here. My little chat with Jassy wasn’t an argument, it’s always healthy to have differing opinions, just need to make sure considerate to others, especially in this mad world.

why does one says 315hp and one says 320hp , one says new differential system one says retained the current 50/50 split system
Apparently they Golf R is 316bhp to keep it inline with other R models in the VW range - Arteon and Tiguan.
Shortly after we purchased our A3, Audi bumped the engine power from 110bhp to 116bhp. Entirely possible they might do this with the S3.
I would be surprised if they are using a different haldex 4wd system in the Golf and S3. Maybe it is just programmed differently. I know the R is supposed to have drift mode.
The power is just BHP vs PS. The AWD system is talking about two different things - front/back is 50/50 but the power on the rear axle can shift all to one side or another.
Here’s the source info

My current car was £1200 less than the above Golf 8R and to me it was worth it, financially your better buying/renting a car to specific requirements keep it for 3/4 years than car jump every 18/24 months but hey we're all different....Neither a Golf R or S3 in any spec is worth that kind of money, especially when it’s not much more than a further facelift.

I think VW are missing a trick here? They should do a saloon(Jetta) version... Although the performance and tech upgrades are tempting I think the styling is very bland. As I stated above a saloon version would attract a lot of buyers.
Just found this article.I think I agree.
We have a 4 year old S3 saloon.
I was seriously looking at a Golf R estate very recently- just a bit more boot space and a longer higher roof line.(Not to replace the S3 but a B6 1.8Tquattro )
I'm unlikely to buy the current S3 - I just think the bodywork is too fussy .
This is a good comparison video for the Golf Mk 7.5 to Mk 8, not the R, but the fundamentals are the same.
Cost cutting seems to be a major thing.
I did do lot of research with my Golf Mk 7.5 TCR, and have owned 2x A3 8V since 2013, both TDI 184 Quattro's, last one in Black Edition, so I knew how good the fit and finish of the cabin is, and the dashboard is lovely, the stance of these was always flawless.
I was looking to go S3 BE as same price bracket, but thought it was time to sit in a different model for a while. There are so many R's on the road, and I still haven't seen another TCR on the road.
Mine has Akrapovic exhaust as standard, as later 2019 models had these as standard.
To me the fit and finish isn't there with the Mk8 golf, I can't comment on the new A3, as haven't seen one at all.
Also one horror story so far, my dad's neighbour bought a nice spec Mk8 about 6 months ago. He went on holiday in the car, and during it's journey all the display's have gone blank, so no engine, no car. This was taken to the nearest VW garage, who gave him a Tiguan courtesy car. 4 months later the car is still in the garage, awaiting parts (they blame covid) and he is still using the Tiguan. Car rejection process started.
The Jetta has always been a very mundane looking thing ...its never been a seller in the ukJust found this article.
https://www.motorauthority.com/news...el drive, there's,Golf R's recipe for success.
The Jetta GLI is what it would've been based on. It's not the best looker to be honest but given a few body enhancements and a performance engine I think it would sell well?
Glad I'm in fashion lolThe Jetta has always been a very mundane looking thing ...its never been a seller in the uk
The A3 saloon is a different ball game best looking car in its class but even with its looks it was still outsold by the hatchback by a long way....majority in the UK love hatchbacks ....even thats changing ....with the school run Suv's which now are everywhere on uk roads

Gonna have to say I think I prefer the new R to the S3 looks wise, less fakery on the outside and just looks a bit better overall. Which is something I never thought I'd say as I thought the MK8 was hideous when it was released. Just wish they did a 3dr!
