Scrutinise them. Do a HPI check yourself, take a trained mechanic and go over it thoroughly.

Alot of S3's have murky histories.

It would be a tad quicker than the xe corsa if Im right in thinking it was the 180 version?

The lower spec ones are shite, they look shite and tacky.

However paying a little more gets you a lovely model

I had a pop at one of these the other week coming off a r/bout. He only started pulling away when I got into 4th. I was quite surprised. Thought they were quicker than that.

There is no Visual differences between a lower spec S3 and a high spec one? Apart from Maybe the S-line wheels and Ali mirrors. They are all the same car so I don't see how the lower spec ones are shite

S3's are either 210 or 225bhp the later being the face-lift
*NOTE* NOT ALL FACE-LIFTS ARE 225bhp! SOME HAVE THE 210bhp ENGINE!!
