New Audi S3

Looks good like the quad exhausts.

Props to MDT for the linky...

Nice read great car but I doubt the 0-62 is correct. It's more along the lines of 5.0/5.2 sec.

I like the sportback version. I've never been a fan of 3 door A3s.

Garage List
2013 BMW 116d  [10.00]
I was planning to buy an Audi A3, but I found the new A3 Sportback so boring looking, they are all of the same boring look lately these Audi's

So I changed my mind en bought an 116d.... In my opinion, less boring looking and more fun to drive.... but less space inside

I've thought about holding off buying my M135i until I've test driven the S3, I will always prefer the BMW but 4WD does appeal to me personally. I'm so jealous the UK aren't getting the XDrive M135i.

Audi just don't seem to ever put any innovation in their car designs of late, it's really similar to the old A/S3. Quad pipes look really nice mind. The only appeal with Audi is they do tend to have better looking and more solid build in the cabin than BMW and Merc

Mr Buck,

I agreed with you. No doubt. Audi tend to have better looking and more solid build in the cabin than BMW. In fact my old car, an Audi A3 Sportback 2008 had better interior plastics than my actual F20.
