I wanted a Focus Rs. That was my starting position but it was not a viable option for cost reasons

So having ruled out what I wanted I've considered practical 4wd pickups but it's not really what I wanted

I wanted a hot hatch, but the RD AWD is just too expensive, as are used STi's (in more way than one)

Last week I think I found the option

A 2010 audi s3 sportback

4 doors for wife and kids (can fit five as my wife asked)

2.0tsi 265hp

38k miles

AWD

It appears to be in amazing condition

Full service history, no rim damage, just seems well looked after

It has options to increase performance

There are only two problems; two tone seats and it is white

But to appease the wife I can solve both those, new covers and a wrap

Very excited...........

I shall all the protestor in sport mode with my hi viz jacket shouting who gives a fuck about gas prices.......
