I've put up another review. Of the new Disco. Didn't like it.
Can you provide the hard of thinking such as myself with a linky?

Fair enough as it's only your opinion, a different experience with the car then I have (not sure why you didn't go for BMW, sounds like more your sort of thing).

I can see why Audi score four out of five in reviews, considering everything about the car. The S3, as I'm assuming is the case with other larger Audis, isolates the driver more than most cars which is probably why they are not so well received on a drivers forum. Superb grip though and with the S3 no understeer here (on Conti contact 5s with good tread). I don't really understand why people buy Audi's if they don't like the kind of car it is...
I no longer have an Audi for that very reason. Got as far as a RS5 and gave up. Nothing ventured, nothing gained.
My wife does have one, she likes it and I do too when I have to drive it, as I have no misconceived expectations about it driving well.

Really love my S3. Lovely place to sit and it goes like st off a shovel.

Get the impression the OP is trying to hard.

Thanks. I fear I may have been a bit harsh but SUCH a disappointment. Reading the glowing reviews in the UK press makes you realise how biased some are. A dreadful crock of st is the new Discovery.

Nobody seems to have noticed that review though. Perhaps it's just poorly written?
