I'm scheming to replace our Scirocco R - 2017 - with a newer car. Economy and service costs not an issue. Comfort and noise are.

The Scirocco is a hard riding car, even in comfort setting, and is very noisy inside. Tyre noise renders the radio useless most of the time. Other than that, it's practical, is fast enough and is fun to drive briskly.

I fancy a 23 or 24 S3 saloon and have read a couple of decent reviews, essentially saying that it's a good compromise between performance and practicality and more useful, day to day, than an RS3.

Any thoughts? I'm aware of the steering feel issues but, after a GT3, anything feels rubbish to me anyway.
