Post M3 - couple of questions for owners

looking at changing my STi this year and was thinking about an M3 54/55 plate (not convertible)

But with 3 kids (2, 5 and 7) I'm not sure I've any hope of getting them in the back, local dealers only got a convertible in stock, so can't check for myself.

Anyone know?

Anyone gone from a STI (55 plate) to M3?

if each of them require booster seats a M3 wont do im afraid. It wont be able to accomodate them and a convert is a 4 seater.

Your best bet is a Audi S4. 4 door and seats 5.

In the essence of whether an M3 will feel faster than an Sti.



It wont.

If you are looking for a good drive with seating for three at the back, the M5 or RS6 may be worth a look.
