m135i vs 2013 135is coupe vs Audi RS3.....which would you choose and why

[BrandonF1]

Hey Guys
As the title says
If you were looking at the 3 options, which one would you want sitting in your garage......:rollsmile:
Taking into account price, performance and looks.

All those choices are too "small" for me...335 FTW :thumbs:

dude, the 335i is not part of the choice lol......but I see you point, although the are 4 door options in the selection stated...

 

[Twinz]

Fully aware of the choices. ....just saying...:=):

I chose the M135i simple because :
its a 30% ///M car
Costs much cheaper
3 door

1) m135i - not my favourite shape, but nice car nonetheless
2) 135is - love it, especially if you are going to mod it
3) audi rs3 - a bit bland in the looks department but very sure footed on the road, giving you added confidence to go fast in all situations
4) audi service the worst on the planet. these people just dont care
5) the bmw is much much better overall build quality, altho audi interior stunning.
6) audi allows you to go around bends quicker
7) my ideal package - 235i with xdrive. but seeing as its not on the list, then m135 with X Drive. if I was a track fanatic, then 135is.
8) from the list, in this order:
135is
m135i
rs3

Thanks for input guys, I had my mind made up on the 2013 135is but the m135 has really stood out and keeps getting good reviews, It comes nicely spec'd standard and has nice touches like the m on the calipers, engine cover etc, the 8 speed auto box was originally a doubt (Prefer DCT) but after seeing the videos it shifts very nicely and 8 gears:bravo: Fully spec'd with most options ticked it comes in at 560k or so wheres the 135 (Not even the 135is) will be over 600k with the specs I want.... and that blue it stands out nicely in the crowd....

Yip Estoril Blue. You have good taste in colour.:fencelook:

 

[Twinz]

Agree that blue is stunning. :inlove:

Having owned an S3 Sportback I'd go for the M135i (4 door). At R520k (incl. xenons, moonroof, DCT, rear PDC) it's a good deal.

also owned a couple of s3's and its light years behind the 135i dont you think?

135i coupe, cause I don't like hatches...

That's excellent value for money. It's possible to spec a 118i M-Sport up to R400k, and there's no comparison between the two. Heck, my 118i Urban (mid-specced) was R320k already!

Actually, now that I think about it, I've seen a few 125i M-Sport examples around for R450k, compared to that the M135i is a lot of car.

altho audi interior stunning.

Yes, Audi understands interiors, but IMHO the current generation doesn't compare in design to the F10/F20/F30. My F20 is waaaaay nicer inside than any current A3/S3/RS3. Will have to see the 2013 A3 in the flesh before I form an opinion about it...

 

[Whacko]

I wouldn't even consider the Audi, glorified VW :yuck:

 

[Dmonic1]

I was also looking at the 125i - Remember the Sportpack is a R30k Optional extra Item.... its Standard on the M135i

Without a doubt the M135i is a bargain!!! :thumbs:
I think prices will increase due to demand
