Definitely the 125i for me, too!

I've driven several versions of the A3, both the FWD and the AWD and i have not be thrilled yet! Good all-arounder, very practical, good looking: No doubt! But not as thrilling as it promised...

VW Scirocco. I test drove the Scirocco, the 1.4TSI 160hp, and while it was fun, i wouldn't choose it over a NA engine. Since i have both a Turbo and a NA car, i can sence the difference, and i'm a NA fan. I'm also not a fan of it's design, but that's the least. Great car, i can't deny that, but the 125i Coupe has the edge here!

My choices.

1) Volkswagen Scirocco

2) BMW 1-Series Coupe

3) Audi A3


Oh hell, I'd be happy with anyone of them anyway.

The Scirocco is very attractive but the magnificent 3.0-liter I6 engine alone is enough for me to choose the 125i over the others. The A3? I've never liked that one...

If it wasn't for the fact that they used the Coupe version of the 1er, then I would've gone from either the AUDI or the VW. But the fact that they did use the 1er coupe, that'll be my choice without a doubt.

The A3 is the best car for my wife, the Scirocco is the best car for both of us and the 125i is the best car for me. So guess which one I chose?

All you have to do is divorce your wife to make your dream car come to you.

I would take the A3. I don't like 1 series (miniature) coupe and the Scirocco is impressive only till you open the door and see the cheap interior.

A3 with haldex will be my choice.
