Overall I think its a better car because its more practical, powerful and it feels more planted compared to the Miata though it's not as fun to drive around the city. I have the S4 until about mid July when my parent's S3 arrives. How's the BMW life?
Honest question, what makes you give up the S4 for a S3? Isn't it smaller and slower?
You can sort of see it but deer pops out, Cayman ducks left, and Bambi just grazes the passenger side with fur, then stumbles. I brake hard, car veers right, and just manage to change direction to swerve right of the thing.

Cascade loop. Again
I am doing the Leavenworth drive this year, doing the loop on the 21st

We've had the car for about 5 or 6 years and decided its time to replace it with something newer and more fuel efficient. My mom wanted something fast that ate less gas than our V8 S4 so the best option that had a compromise between performance and fuel economy was the S3. Looking at the performance specs it seems like the S3 is actually quite a bit faster than my S4 and the size difference didn't matter too much because its only smaller in length by about 5 inches.

Ahhhh okay for some reason I thought you had the B8! My friend has one of those that's chipped and it's just a mental car although I found the backseats to be pretty tight... and the S3 looks tiny by comparison on the outside so I'm curious what the rears are like on that
Great deal, isn't it the same car you already have tho??? Or are you gonna flip it?
It is. Going to clean it up and drive it. I usually have friends looking for 'winter cars' around late September so if one of them wants it, I may flip it on them (enough to get the purchase price plus a little more on top)

Baby stepping up to a GN. My wallet won't allow that anytime soon
such tidy and compact dimensions, more so with that color!
Tidy and compact is a good way to describe the car.
The inside is actually very roomy.
The A3/S3 has more head room for the passengers than the A4/S4 (tested it), and very similar leg room.
The trunk is small though.
Full review will be written in a few weeks after breaking in the car and doing more driving on longer runs (Sea-to-Sky, across the border, maybe East to Kelowna)

Reason: grammar, typos
After a year or so of drooling over this exhaust, finally bought it and slapped it on. Worth every penny, was getting a bit bored of the car but the sound changes everything feels like my car is more torquey too at certain RPMs compared to my old Invidia, but that might just be a placebo effect.. will figure that out when I get the car retuned later on in the summer
