As title says..
I am on look out for a new car.. I want to get it ordered by Oct and would ideally like it start of next year..
Few conditions,
Its must be brand new
Not silly on insurance / Fuel (ie no Evo's or Scoobies)
I really cant decided.. I am seriously tempted by the new S3, however from the outside it doesnt look OVERLY different from the standard A3 3 door..
I want something I can keep standard but still looks / drives well..
Any ideas??

Yea.. Might be tempted to a saloon if it is decent..
I have been tempted by the Volvo C70 as I can get these VERY cheap.. However it would have to be the T5 version and then thats getting to the top of my budget, even with my decent discount!

Infact the TFSI is into £30k+
You would get a 1.8T S-Line for £27k if you haggled well!!
