hello guys
I have been driving my 2012 evo x gsr for almost 3 years now and the car has basic bolt ons with protune making it around 311whp/321wtq. Although I love my evo, it could be uncomfortable at times especially during heavy traffic hours (60miles commute). So I was thinking about what other options I have besides evo if I were to switch. What do you guys think about the new 2015 audi s3?? I test drove the car a few weeks ago and obviously it wasn't fast nor handled as near as my evo but I found it pretty fun and thought it could be a better DD. I am not here to discuss which car is better but want to hear honest opinion on audi s3. Do you guys think it's overpriced?? One that I saw was around 46000 msrp. should I not even bother with s3 and just keep my evo?? What would you guys do if you were in my situation?? Any help or suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thanks

 

You have to weigh the pros and cons for yourself. I personally think my Evo 9 is a plush DD compared to some of my previous cars and would never consider an S3. I do think that $46k+ for an every mans Audi with pedestrian performance is a bit much though. Good luck, in the end I would say it would be a side-grade, little less performance for a little more comfort.

 

Get an EVO MR

Winner winner chicken dinner! Change the parts from your old car to your new car and enjoy life.

 

or wait for the new FORD Focus RS

Not a huge fan of 98% of Audi's but...this is really a question only you can answer lol

 

I was just thinking about the S3 myself. It looked nice. Small, light, nice exterior, interior... but close to 50k ? Hmmm, bit much... I was hoping it's performance was on par w/ Evo X but I guess not.

My X MR has been pretty good even in stock form. Dual personality w/ SST or I should say triple...
It looks decent outside and ok inside w/ Recaros. SST really makes the car different from GSR. I test drove both back to back.

Maybe a MR would be a better choice if you're looking for better DD or comfort.

 

Just something that might interest you.
