I gave it a 4... Pretty good.

I gave it a 3 because for some reason this car just fails to impress me. It's very understated and since it's S car it's going to cost a lot. Honestly, I don't think this car is anything special to where it's worth the extra money. Honestly (i know they can't be compared but I'm just talking about design here), I think the Civic Type-R looks way better and more special than this. As much as I love audi, this car just fails to deliver...but I will reserve my final judgement until I actually see one. By the way...is it coming to the US?

Its okey but not more. The rear is just boring and I wouldnt mind if the car looked a little more aggressive.

It costs 35k euro in Germany which seems like a very reasonable price. Does anyone know the price of BMW 130i in Germany?

33.500 Euro

Same as R32

So that means that the S3 gives the 130i and R32 a run for the money.

I'd take the S3 over the other two at that price without even thinking twice. I feel it's just more special and complete as a package. Turbocharging helps the decision along for me too. I like turbos...

[...not that I'm not fond of naturally aspirated engines either - I'd wager that the 130i has the best engine in this company too - it's just that I've become accustomed to the feel of them over the years as every car I've owned for the past 7 has been turbo'd.]

then 135i is the perfect car for you

Dynamically maybe, but as for the looks, interior design and quality, lack of practicality and the mere fact that I'd love a 335i 100 times more, the 135i becomes superfluous...

It's just not good at being a hatchback and that's where it fails in my book.
