Whats it running
it was just remapped, i have proof of this as i was racing my mate in his dc2 then i saw xenons up my arse, shat myself thinking it was old bill, then saw it come past me so i booted it and i got infront of him by a cars length. i pulled into the petrol station and he flew straight past.
also being neck and neck with an m5 off the lights, i thought it was a 528 but when i pulled over he pulled in with me to ask what the fuck i had and i was more shocked than him when he said it's a m5!!!
I can believe you gave a run to the 330 as your car will be around 200 kg lighter than mine
But an M5 come on mate - get real - he obvoiulsy wasn't trying

No shit mate, i wasn't gonna try at first as i had an argument with the girlfriend and i was driving to a car park for a polite chat, then he botted it, so i did, not the best of starts for me but i pulled along side him then it filters into one lane and he braked as i was pulling on him (slightly). He pulled into the car park with me, and was like " what sort of power is that running?" i said it was in the region of 200-210bhp, and he didn't believe me.

I looked at these they are gorgeous cars, cream interior is rare, as is the kinda blue/purple colour? Theres one in marlow in that combi and it looks fantastic.
Most have black leather, some came in alcantara/leather like joes but blue/black or white/black...
Sawa green one last night very very nice quick too

Think i'm the only person who thinks those wheels look horrid!
Give me the RS4 style (old, or new ones!) any day .
Any ideas on MPG figures (not that it matters too much - would be a second car). Also still wondering about if it needs 98 RON fuel, and what tax bracket its in. Just getting an idea of running costs .

No i'm not the greatest fan mate - he had RS6 on before they looked even worse
Think he is going for the QS wheels like kine
RS4's have been ruined by the golf cars i think
MPG veries
I get 37 when my working week consists of travelling on the Motorways alot
Around town your looking at 22's
Normally get 31 on a weekly average
Tax is 104 for 6mnth as i have just done this as is up for sale soon

Technically, so are the S3's  
Cheers for the info anyway guys, my idea is to keep my corsa i have now for work and as a run around (12k a year just going to work and back 5 days a week), then use the S3 for leisure to keep the cost of ownership down, but also because i have to drive through some dodgy areas to get to work, and encounter some of the shittest driving i've ever seen .

The cream leather is actually Silver, on the all leather seats you only get Black and Silver. Mine has Black leather with Yellow Alcantara.
MPG wise I get 22mpg on average, mainly just around town on the motorway it tends to go up a touch.
Don't get one expecting it to be lightening fast, mine is ok but its by no means very quick but good enough. I'd still recommend one.

I'm used to a 1.4 corsa, anythings fast in comparison
TBH i'm just after CTR/VXR kind of performance, but with a bit more comfort, and less suicidal Residuals!
Also the 4WD, leather and Xenons are a big bonus for me  .
