Yesterday morning I saw an A3 on steroids pretending to be a S3,in stratford on avon, with a personalized plate. Was this you ?? I tried to keep up but a porsche got in the way.
What extras and chips have you put on ?

Yep that was me, I'm getting it chipped saturday, might have an exhaust as well. Your S3 is very nice I'm dead jealous, look forward to less trafic in future!

yeah bought it the day 's' reg came out with the intention of getting one, but no S3's were released then so had an A3 1.8t, have grown quite attached to mine though, but will swap when I am a bit older for cheaper insurance say 30(27 at present),
at least I've got the plate ready for then, also A3 is being facelifted at the end of the year so S3 will also.

Yeah,

I'm 28, and reckon insurance on an S3 would still be too steep at the moment. I'm going to wait till I'm 30 too...arrggh! wishing years away just for a car. NO! I DON'T WANT TO BE 30. NO NO NO!!!

I did the same thing when I was 21, "oh I'll wait till I'm 25, then get a fast car, insurance will be cheaper." Then they went and put the age up to 30! You can't win!

Interesting comment about the facelift. Where did you read that?

Yeah I got a 205 1.9 GTI on my 25 birthday, I had to bomb around in a nova 1.3SR before that, both fortunately before the bad boys started driving them! My local dealer just got a silver S3 in with Aluminium mirrors, looks dead sexy!

Hi All,

Dare I admit to being the baby of the group at 24 - and yes insurance stings quite badly although I did not find it prohibitive (obviously)

I am interested (if it is not too personal) to find out roughly what you guys pay for insurance as I would like to look forward to lower costs or alternatively find out I got a good deal.

Regards

David
