Thanks for that - I can see why you prefer the fun car (and there's always the M2). :lol:

I never understand though why they pit these two cars together as the M2 would be a fairer comparison but I guess shows how good the 140i is for the money. You'd be crazy forking out 14k more for the Audi.

The S3 would be more of a comparison to the m140i wouldnt it

was watching the old 2013 top gear last night where they put a boggo mk7 golf gti up against the m135i

It would yes, Chris Harris's vid of the RS3 and M135i was the reason I went for the propeller back in 2014, always thought it was a great review.

Fine for the commute. Or for nipping down to Spar As long as you had a fun car to drive at the weekend., or to nip over to Spa. :wink:

It would be a dull old world if everyone's idea of fun was the same

It's not actually a propeller at all, it's just the colours of the Bavarian flag. It's one of the most commonly held misconceptions in the western world that the BMW rounded represents a propeller.

Fast Audi and fun in the same sentence :|

Yes, Dorothy, it can happen here. The Audi Winter Driving Experience,. Here in the land of blistering heat and incredible cold ( in the same week) , you hand over a sack of silver and drive out to the Rockies where the Audi people and a crew of racing driver/instructors give you the keys to a New, brand Spanking New S5 or S4 which you then proceed to drive the snot out of on icy roads, lakes and an ice autocross. It is fun with a capital F.

Now the octogenarian up my street with a new S3 that never goes over 2000 revs is another story...
