The Story

My previous car (highly modded F56 MINI Cooper S) was crushed by a tree in August 2020. I was searching for a Golf R as a replacement but kept coming across RS3s at every dealership I went to. I really wanted to get another hatchback, but the allure of the legendary 5 cylinder was too hard to ignore. After one test drive, I was sold. The car was beautifully specced and meticulously maintained by the previous owner, who traded it in with about 10K miles (and an Escort Max360ci!!) on it. It's one of the few examples I've seen that has dial gauges instead of the virtual cockpit, which I think is a pretty cool detail. I plan to keep this car for a long time and think the classic gauges and the BBS LMs lend a bit of a timeless feel to it. I remember drooling over Nogaro Blue B5 S4s when I was in high school... this isn't that but it sure feels like a modern remix of a childhood dream come true to me!
