    Make the R as fast as you want imo - if it's too much then buy the GTI


    ^Nice videos too. Fantastic launch on the first vid.

    That's very subjective as 'road vehicle' or 'sports hatch' could be anything this side of a Hyundai Getz to a Hyundai Gets with bodykit+19s.

    If you want to thrash around in the twisty roads, in stock trim i think the car is quick enough to get the blood flowing as power generally isn't the issue. I think they are fantastic around corners and that is the strength of these cars.

    In outright grunt, the stock S3/R is not much chop vs the majority of performance cars on the street. Especially the local Fords which are weapons out of the box.

    I would brag about the straight line power of a stock S3/R to a Polo owner or my Mum but that'd be it.

    Too much power?

    I thought my standard R was quick when I bought it... but now its kinda boring because it doesnt feel 'fast' anymore.. might have to start saving for some tuning because as a standard car they arent "fast" at all.. I have the manual though.. so i dont know?

    Yep I agree, I've upped mine to APR stage 2+ and feel like that's how it should have come... Stock is pretty tame really,,

    How old "bigger fail" ????

    Excess is power unused. Excess describes it just fine for road use but for the street racers, definitely not enough.

    I see your POV.

    Enjoy

    Why choose a conservative hatchback. Hardly "fully sik mate" bragging material.

    Bugoff will take care of the flying carnage.

    The "concur" was merely reflecting that these aren't excessively powerful cars.

    As for the conservative hatchback, it was impulse buying really. I've had this thing for black & white cars of late.

    All banter aside, I believe a mid-high 4's car makes for a great road car. I wouldn't call anything excessive however, that's a bit hypocritical. Someone starts sprouting that, well they may as well forgo Scotch Fillet for sausage mince. Where does it end.

    I would not put Bugoff anywhere near any of my cars, certainly not the piano finish

    Will sort it out when I get home.

    I think it's Bugoff - black bottle, pinky liquid??? Used it when washing my old car to get the splattered, dired on crap off.

    The piano finish I take it is any of the black grill area? I can't see the car at present.

    So you just use regular washing or something else after each drive?
