If you were considering either of these cars, which one would do it for you? and why?

Links are not exact ones, just to give you an idea.

Works GP definitely; there's loads of the audis about and the GP will probably hold its value better.

I'd imagine that the GP would be a better drive as well.

I've always said I'll get an S3 when I come to sell my car, but I can't stop looking at the GP's and always liked them

but obviously if you've always wanted an s3 you'll probably always kick yourself if you don't get one.

EDIT:^^^^^those wheels are horrible compared to the ones in the original advert.

Niether, Sorry I know thats not the answer you're looking for.

I'll explain.

The GP's faults out weigh its benefits. For example; There are no rear seats, and its an all flat floor as far as I am aware so its not really even a boot. It also looks, In my opinion of course, very......Need for Speed ish. Sorry to those who like it.

The S3, well, first off its a glorified Golf. They're royally expensive and for a Four pot engine, if you're going to buy a fast Audi. It needs to be a 5 Pot. Its also a *******'s car, sorry. They're very dull as well.

So considering I've wiped out the two cars you said, I'll give you my opinion.

An EK9 Civic Type R - It'll never break, goes like stink and Looks the part.

A Mk5 Golf GTi - Edition 30 if you can get hold of one.

The Latest shape Fabia VRS - In green :P

Renault Twingo 133 with the Cup Chassis.

^ That would get my vote.
