Don't mind him he gets offended easy. We can giggle in the corner and he's checking his fly and nose.

I am not a fan of the A3/S3 interior but the GTI/R have the best interiors I have ever come across @ any price level, specially the GTI with the plaid seats. Those seats are pure perfection for me, the Fender system is light years better than the HK I have in the WRX (which is complete garbage considering the price) and the overall layout is very, very elegant with excellent ergonomics. Having said that, I think the current Subbie interiors are nowhere near as bad as people make them out to be.

I see VAG is really pushing that nub of a shifter. Don't like it in a Porsche or an Audi. I have always found Audi's to be pleasing to the eye but of late I have noticed a lot of sameness with their new styling. This doesn't look like much of a styling departure from the current model.

The MK7 GTI plaid cloth seat is probably my #1 seat of all time I've sat in. I also think the MK7 (not MK7.5) GTI interior is superior to the Golf R, due to the lack of piano black, nice red stitching and red accents as opposed to the silver accents in the Golf R. |

Clark seats are the best.

I like that wagon a lot. I'm sure it won't come to the USA and if it did I'm too cheap to spend $55,000 for a tarted up Golf R.

Interesting to see in the ever increasing HP wars that they did such a small bump. I guess for Audi they have the RS3, wonder what they'll do for the Golf R.

I think the sedan looks better. IMO the hatchback looks too much like a Q3 from the rear.

That wagon is what a Mazda3 hatch should've looked like.
I'm not into these donkey cars.. A3/S3 looks stupid short and small. I'd much rather buy a Golf-R from this platform, or a TT-S/TT-RS (if they still share the same platform). And 0-60 4.8sec is slow these days. |

You can check pricing of the outgoing S3 in Europe and compare it to what we pay here as an example. It's not anywhere near the Euro-USD conversion rate. I'd say pricing is going to be starting at $46K. Quote:
I wouldn't expect huge power increases without electrification. Europe is cracking down on fuel consumption big time. |

For the USA that will actually be a 2022 model, showing up in that latter half of 2021.

The depreciation on the S3 is pretty abysmal to make things even worse. Plus i live in California so that's almost another $6k in tax/license. The only way to buy these cars (unless you don't care about money) is wait until the next model year and find a leftover for like $10k off. You might even be better off getting a RS3 because the resale value is much higher on the RS cars (i just wonder how hard they are to sell later on down the road).

I'm sure it's cool in person but based on the pictures, the S3 just looks far too busy. The A3 of this same upcoming generation looks better, which I never expected to be the case. Hopefully the RS3 has a better exterior.

Piano black is a nice finish if you know how to care for it. I have no issue with piano black and like it. |

I was sitting in a parking lot yesterday waiting for my wife to get out of the hospital and there was a VERY attractive blue Kia parked behind me. I don't know what model it was, but it looked really nice and I was very surprised to see the badge.

It's a pretty little car. 144 months of rust coverage is cool, too. No one I know that owns one recommends a new one for long term ownership, even though they're rebuilding two Quattros: one as a WRC clone and the other as a road car.

That is a Kia Forte, my girlfriend has one. I have a 2015 wrx stage 2. We take her car everywhere if it's over 60 miles. It's a great car for the price! I wish the Stinger or G70 came with a stick, id give it serious consideration. After driving her car tons of times, im a big fan of Kia and Hyundai. I think they just released a turbo model too (Forte GT). Also has 5yr bumper to bumper.

Hyundai/Kia have been stealing styling cues from the Germans for years. There's literally no way the Germans can even tweak their styling without it coming across as similar to a Hyundai/Kia.
