as said its not a power thing if it was id have kept the golf. i think its just the new car thing and listening for every new squeak rattle and clunk and wondering what it is. ill prob feel better as i start learning more about the S3 and understand it more the 4wd in the wet i do love already and even with std suspension i feel more confident on bends in the wet. im gonna at least see it through the winter as ive seen loads of good snow vids with quattros.
A word from the wise:
If you are bored with the way the car is (S3) then throwing money at it won't help.
It will become very fast, with incredible brakes, superb suspension and one of the quickest things point to point in all weathers you'll come accross...but it'll still be dull as dishwater to drive.
You will get out at the end of a twisty back road and marvel at how quickly you've gone, how well balanced a modified S3 can be, how stable under braking, how it effortlessly puts huge torque down...and think you could have done the crossword whilst getting there, such was the level of proper involvement.
You can't do lairy power slides with any form of precision and control...what you can do is efficient use of traction. Not the same.
The S3 can be brilliant.
But involving?
Nope..sorry. It's the wrong car for that.
...and this will go down like a lead baloon with many, but it's sadly true.
I'm not saying it's a bad car. It's not...it's a fine car, and when sorted a brilliant car. It just doesn't thrill...
