Default Sold the A4, new car: S3 or Mini S

So I sold my beloved A4 (B5, 01, 1.8t tip, sport pkg) yesterday and im looking at new cars, Im torn between the new Mini S hot chilli, with everything, or the new S3, which we get here, (for those who dont know it, its 2.0TFSI, 265HP, Quattro, 6Sp and looks awesome), of course the S3 is the better car, but its also more dough, mini is 32k, S3 is 44K, but i dunno, i may just take one more year to pay off, should i take the plunge or go with the mini?


BTW i have a deposit on a red S3...

course i know ur gonna be biased, maybe its just what i wanted to hear, both cars would be new, so mini would be turbo, and the S3 IS turbo, like i said its the new 2.0 T FSI, its pumped up to 265 HP, bigger turbo than the 200 HP, chip alone would make it 310HP, it is as all S's quattro, check it out http://www.roadandtrack.com/article....rticle_id=4180 i guess im just need reassurance, its the first time i buy a new car, im 23 btw
