Summary
What does this car say about you?
I like fast motors :).
What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
Scary but nice and comfy.
Would you buy this car again and why?
Yes. I have always been a fan of the VAG 20v turbo. I have friends with an S3 and R32 and as much as love both I couldnt justify spending the extra money on them when this one is just as comfy and fast (more so with a re-map). And it looks awsome.
What are you likely to buy next?
RS4 M3

Franchised
Did you buy this car new?
No
What price did you pay?
£9,000
When did you buy the car?
May 2009
Did you get a good deal and why?
The price was about right at the time. It wasn't much more than ones being sold privately and was the best example.
Is there any special reason why you bought this car?
Have always been a VW/German enthusiast. Found this to be a better value for money and alternative to its S3 cousin.
What was the dealer like?
I dealt with the manager at the time when I test drove/bought the car, and he was a top bloke before and after (MOT) sale.
