Just go and have a go in one to see for yourself (make sure its a 3 performance)
It's honestly a strange experience, I love my cars/motorcycles(4) love doing stuff like turning (with my lad) his Golf gti mk2 into a RS3 engined 4wd, 500+hp rocket, I've built numerous Porsche GT2/GT3, Carrera cup engines and gearboxes, the list goes on and on, but the model3 really did open my eyes,
I wish EV's had never appeared, VW had not cheated, and Greta Thunberg had stayed in School, but they're here and happened as well, they and the charging network will improve hugely over the next 5 years and I can see myself sitting at the lights in my RS3 surrounded by the ****** things, and they'll all be quicker ***
