Vs Hyper-hatches: Audi A3 3.2 vs BMW 130i vs VW R32

[Zafiro]

I dont care what Autocar or Autozeitung or anyone else say. I make my own judgement about the cars.
If this carmag say they like R32 better than 130i, dont mean everyone think so.
Even if the R32 happen to be a better than 130i doenst mean that 130i is a bad car and that R32 is a superior car. 130i is a great car and Im certain that this car cover my needs. If 130i was a bad car, noone would buy the car, simple as that. Nah enough of this jumbobadabing talk. 130i is a great car and would be enough for me. Period !!!

Noone said that the 130 is a bad car. Every car has it's advantages and disadvantages. It just seems that R32 manages to be very good or excellent in any aspect and that's it's major advantage cause it doesn't have week sides.

Funny I dont find any weaks parts on the 130i either, except the price. Both R32 and 130i are great cars. R32 isnt much better car, its small differences that why 130i is good enough for me.
Like I said over and over again, its all about personal preferences. 130i got what I want. Anyone has problems with that? Well, you know where I live, welcome to visit me and try to change my mind.

I have to say that overall my vote goes to the 130i... I just prefer rear wheel drive. I think that unless you are driving in adverse conditions or have gobs of power to put to the road the added weight is not justified. I think the R32 is the best looking however.

You mean better looking than the A3?

Strange i always thought that new Golf can't be compared to A3 in terms of looks. As for 1 series it's not exactly beautiful but not ugly either.

Don't get me wrong, I love the A3 as well, but to me it looks somewhat more sedate and refined. I think the R32 and the 130i look younger and more athletic.

I don't know why I voted for the R32. I guess because I didn't read and I didn't know that the BMW was faster!

Out of these cars, I would go for the golf because it's the cheapest I think, it is a Q-car, looks great and is the most practical!

Same choice for the same reason.
