The a 45 is definitely not in the m135i range cause its a full blown amg car, yet the 135 is not an m car, not even close. I feel once the 1m or 2m will be out it will crouch the competition (here I'm talking 0-100 times) all in all as cabin wise, comfort: m135i wins. Durability would go for the golf. I feel the s3 is a déjà-vu boring design/model. So the real test is a45amg vs f20 1m (once produced). One of the good things though for the m135i is that it does get compared to a full blown amg model even though its not a full blown "m" mode
Yeah but as I mentioned above, for those in Australia, A45 is very relevant as the pricing of M135i and A45 is pretty much line ball. In fact the A45 is cheaper!
