I bought a '00 S3 at the beginning of the summer to fix my cornering problem on my lowered SM (drags the pipes bad). I love the S3, it is one serious performer and I'm having to learn to ride all over again. It likes wheelies so I'm learning how to do them and I can't find enough roads with curves here in SE Michigan. My buddy that has an '04 S3 said after I got it that I probably wouldn't ride the SM much now. Nothing could be further from the truth.
If anything I appreciate my SM more now. Its WAY more comfortable and I still enjoy longer rides on the SM where I 'm looking at the scenery more than the road. It still turns heads wherever I go and I love that attention, as its the first custom anything I ever built. That baby will always be my favorite.
