I'd take one of those over the S3/RS3 snore machine as long as they give it a proper AMG soundtrack. (yes I know it doesn't have a great big 6ltr V8)

0-60 bit disappointing considering the power -must weigh a fair bit..

RS3's have been clocked sub 4's 0-60 as standard..

Not a bad looking motor i would take it on looks over the RS3's but for the cash think i would look at other motors.

For the money I'd take a 'pre-loved' 1M coupe :bounce:

I have to agree with Rob the M1 with the right carbon accessories looks as incredible as it goes, I'm sure the AMG is a fantastic just not sure about the front end and it looks massive, I bet it dwarfs a Clio.

I think it looks great - that over the horrid rs3 anyday.

I would take a M1 over a new AMG no prob's.

Test drove one of these lately, the "sport" trim or whatever its called.

Handles like a ship, they aren't as big as they look in the photo, probably longer than the clio but lower from memory.

****s all over the new "alpha romeo" clio in the looks department

It reminds me of a Volvo C30 on 'roids!

355bhp AND 40.9mpg out of a 4pot is damn impressive though!

Take a used 135M everyday

 

[Foxspeed]

cant get over the stuck on look of the touch screen......pee poor that!!!!

 

[Robo_#1]

Not noticed that till you pointed it out Si, looks a bit aftermarket doesn't it.

Still nicer than any BMW dash I've seen though in fairness.

If were talking used cars, surely a GTR is an option everyday, especially at 40k!!!!

The only thing the GTR its a pc on wheels

I assume it's based on the A class, seen a few of these on the road and TBH i thought they looked massive, well for an A class anyway, totally different to the first A class.
