Hi there, I am interested in geting either of the two cars 1.8T or RS. Called few dealers here came to know the RS has been discontinued since a month also the Rider 1.8T and instead they have come up with 1.8T Ambient which now comes with an ABS and airbags also is considerably priced then the rider for about 11L on road.

Now here's the catch am confused about called up one of the dealers here and is has a black RS in stock but a 2007 manufactured model. Had a long discussion with him and told him I would be interested but not so keen on a 2007 model. Now heres the catch after further discussion he was ready to give some offer on it which saves me about a lakh along with finance plus ready to give 3 years maintence free service where wont be charged a penny for service, labour, or consumables.
All this looks quite tempting. Guys I am really confused whether I should go for the RS inspite its being discontinued or the Ambient model which now has the ABS too. Earlier thought of RS coz of the extra features and most importantly ABS.
Now i do plan to upgrade the wheels to light weight alloys, boost it, change the seats to OG recaro buckets, upgrade brakes and suspension.

What I like about the RS is also the projector headlamps with xenons, climate control ac, sunroof.

Like to know if it makes sense to go for the RS with the offer or simply go ambient model. Head says ambient but heart says RS.

PS: mods have searched a lot couldnt find answer to this.

PLEASE HELP! Thank you.
