£25k budget, 4 seats, needs to be 3-4 years old, what's between the TTS and the S3, and are there any obvious contenders i'm missing, not overkeen on the 135....
The TTS S-Tronic comes with wünderbar launch control. The handling is a little bit better than an S3 with it being a bit lower down (maybe a subjective area)
The S3 is much more practical obviously. Same Haldex clutch 4x4 system as the TT AFAIK
