S3 is a nice car to drive, havent driven a 225 TT so cant compare, but ive cast my vote according to looks.
Octavia VRS all the way mate. Think they were doing them for 13,995 a while back. A hell of a lot of car for the money, and the same tuning potential as the Audi. Handling's got to suffer though... but I wouldn't have a TT. Fordo!
TT is bit comon, prob cos the market is flooded with inports and you cant realy say they are a slow car. I have never driven one but have driven an S3, nice safe power. Still love the TT shape, much better looking car then all this Jap stuff, Nisan Z thing or the RX7. But dont they make a 180bhp fwd one now, dont under stand the point in that. Who would turn down one of the ABT monstors. And on another point any 4wd TT would eat a mk1,2,3,4 etc golf round the corners.
Think who buys them... Or, put another way, when did you last see someone who looked like they were doing behind the wheel driving one? The point of it is that 95% of people who own them probably wouldn't be able to tell if it was FWD or 4WD anyway. Fordo!
