    Quick question

    Just a quick question if I may? What car is faster, more practical, with better fuel economy, and costs less than an S3 sportback? :think:

    S3 vs new Ford Focus RS?

    The latest edition of EVO has tested the performance of the RS and put it round the Bedford Aerodrome track, and it shows the S3 is faster in both areas! Now they changed the layout of the Bedford track marginally to make it quicker, which would mean the RS is slower still! One of the European...

    Gen4 Haldex on the facelift S3

    If as seems likely it is the Gen 4 system on the S3 now, does that mean the eLSD that is fitted to the Saab XWD and new Insignia can be retro fitted to the S3? :think:

    iPod help required please!

    Hi folks, does anyone know why my ipod connection in the glove box has stopped working. Even pressing the CD button twice the headunit is saying "No CD" as though it isn't connected.

    s3/s3 sportback difference

    The website is http://www.fastestlaps.com/ and you can compare about a dozen or more test tracks which mostly the magazines have reported results with. The S3 & S3 sportback were tested on the Autozeintung (German car mag) test track and the S3sportback was ever so slightly quicker. The...

    I bought another one!

    Yes I bought a 3 door Ibis white one from South Africa to match my current Sprint blue Sportback. It took only a week to arrive from my e-mail order and it was only £90.. :rockwoot:

    Sportback - roofrails or no roofrails?

    S3 sportback in Sprint blue with aluminium rails looks just great as they match the mirror covers very nicely.

    Some questions please.........

    Yes it is Star. Over lunch I have just discovered a chap at work who has used them for his mk5 GTi and seems very pleased. Those detailing products look fantastic if they can produce the results that you have on your own car. I was just planning put a layer of that Autoglym extra gloss protector...

    Some questions please.........

    Wow thanks for all your responses. It's sprint blue as I have always been a very big fan of the RS2, and it was the nearest I could get to that in terms of colour and size and also afford to put fuel into! I will look into the GIAC more favourably now then. I think there is a dealer nearby in...

    Some questions please.........

    Hello folks, This is my first real post so be gentle! I'm now the owner of a blue S3 Sportback and very delighted. I have been in the world of Subaru and Saab for the past 10 years so I have some questions, which may be naive, but they are from that perspective, if that's ok? I am happy to see...
