Excellent Wimmer, thanks The S3 sure is a little rocket

 

[Zafiro]

Once again, tested without the sportpackakage for 130i

 

[Zafiro]

BTW does S3 have 4 or 2 doors?

if its two, then im looking forward to see S3 against 130i with 2 doors

I'm pretty sure it's a 2-door

 

[Zafiro]

I bet my money that a 2-door 130i is going to handle better than 130i with 4-door. Better stiffness with 2-doors than 4.

No problem.

The A3 with "four doors" is the A3 Sport Back.

Even though the S3 is cool, I love the 1er.

 

[Deutsch]

I love both cars, but I think I'd have more fun w/ the S3 despite the lack of steering feel.

 

[CarGuy]

Id take the S3
@265hp&tq its got "brutal" power lmao

 

[Matt]

who won the comparo? Thanks for the write up wimmer!

 

[LonghornTX]

I hope we get some version of the 1 series here . A S3 would be nice as well.

 

[Mr. Chigga_Chan]

Interesting comparo, both are impressive performers. I think I prefer the Audi overall, with better exterior looks, relatively equal performance and better value for your dollar. Ironically, I think the BMW's interior looks far better than the Audi's relatively plain looking interior. But I would take the Audi for its overall package.

Thanks for the translation

To make the 1 series interior look good you have to spend thousands on wood and leather options. A3 has a really nice interior even from the base model.

not for 130i you dont need to pay extra

 

[Mr. Chigga_Chan]

Hmm, I don't know what the details are, I just looked at the pics that were posted. Either way, the S3 interior doesn't impress, but I still prefer it the car overall.

Hard to say. They didn't really select a winner but praised each car for its strengths and made it clear that although these two cars compete, they're quite different and on these grounds, they couldn't pick a winner.
