Scirocco, looks much better, get the 170

The 1 series looks like a shoe

Audi
Otherwise the Scirocco

One of the biggest mistakes we made was dismissing the 120d and wasting our money buying a new A3. I will be a long time before I waste my money on another Audi especially after finding out how good BMW are with their warranty compared to the poor service and not so good build quality from Audi.

Scirocco (DSG Box is AWESOME) the other 2 are just plain ugly and common as muck, however good they might be.

Agree with you there. The VW looks stunning, but I haven't driven any of them so can only base it on willy hardness factor.

It also has the best gearbox of the 3, is the least common, and "poorest" is a relative term, because it isn't a poor car by any means.

As above... the Scirocco looks amazing... but that engine is a bit naff tbh and quite uninspiring to drive - if possible get it with the better engine or otherwise go for teh A3.

For now..

As was hinted by Fox, if I was looking at cars like that, I'd be going straight for a 123d coupe. Just over 200bhp aren't they? Awesome for a diesel like that.

A3 best of the bunch by a mile

By a mile?!

Maybe if it set off a minute before the other 2?

Dont really see the point - if you want something stylish, get the VW. If you want the technically better car then get the BMW

Ooo tough call. I would go for the Sirocco, its a real head turner in the right colour.

Day to day driving would be great in all of them, the BMW would be better around a track, but who cares, its ugly. The audi is common as muck.

Eyes say sirocco
head says Audi
BMW looks like a shoe, but is probably the best car.

Joe T · 11 Sep 2009 at 19:48

All good girlfriends drive corsas, eh Fox?

Sorry!

iaind · 11 Sep 2009 at 19:49

Thats the second time someone's said it looks like a shoe....can someone elaborate?

Don't get the Audi. So boring and more prevalent than cigarettes in a McDonalds car park.

Thats a bit of an ironic statement from a Mini owner

i'd say 1 series BMW's are pretty prevailant too

If i had to choose out of them, it'd be between the BMW and the A3, but it'd be a difficultchoice, the biased side of me would say the A3, but the 1 is a good car, if a little ugly. The 1 coupe has actually grown on me if i'm honest and the non practical side of me would look at going in that direction.

Anyway, i've had my A3 for just over a year and i wouldn't change it for anything in the same price bracket yet, i don't feel the need to.
