I have went from an 8V S3, to an RSQ3 to an SQ5. All good in different ways and of course everyone has their perspective, here is mine if it helps. S3 - I will spend less time here as whilst it was lovely looking especially inside, it bored me and I personally found it under steered too much...

Looks great, am sure it sounds even better!

I sold my 8V S3 after 5 months, I found it a little dull / clinical (good things too many I know), and have now ended up with an RSQ3, it is technically slower on paper, but a totally different experience, much better noise. Sure it rolls a little in corners, and I don't think the s-tronic is as...

Hi I have just chopped in my 5 month old 8V S3 for a shiny new sepang blue RSQ3, happy to bring it along if any interest. Cheers

I liked my new S3, but I didn't love it and for many of the same reasons as these later threads. I changed into the S3 from a 150 TDI S-Line which I felt had a good balance between the power and the chassis, so I ordered (and didn't test drive)... I just didn't gel with the S3. I felt it was a...

A mate just changed his S5 for something a little sharper at Aberdeen Audi, and they said they were the busiest Audi dealership in Europe. No clue if true or not, but a lot of Audi's on the East Coast from Edinburgh upwards.

Haha, the debates I have had with the wife about an extra older crappier 4*4/estate, just couldn't do it as I have the dogs in the car every day so a shiny new Avant with a bit of go it is.

Hi All Well after 5,000 fun miles, I have traded in my estoril blue S3 Sportback. I needed something with a bit more room for the dogs (looking at a 3rd dog), and the quattro took a bit more space out of the depth of the boot floor than I had hoped. If anyone is looking for an "as new"...

Looks good ! , exactly the same as mine. I have done 4k miles, and they are holding up well, very easy to keep clean. Not so sure what damp dark blue jeans would do though.

Looks excellent! Enjoy.

I think that is all it does. I would like to be able to keep the footwell lights on in the back, but off in the front. Not that the pedals are the shiny aluminium that were advertised but it does seem to reflect/glare a little. Anyone know if this is possible?

I think that's ballpark correct. On the motorway at 70, I get 37mpg. Driving "briskly" in the region of 16-18 mpg. Overall I am similar at around 26-27 mpg. 4,000 miles in. I would say it has noticeably speeded up however, and the exhaust also has a little sharper sound, all in all, improving...

Looks great, nice choice, enjoy!

2 for me

Thanks for these, I was exploring adding it aftermarket as I like the idea of the bumper protector bit (dogs) but being quoted £180 by my local dealer, as oppose to the £60 if I had of spec'd at time of order has put me off. My old A3 mat will have to do along with a towel for the in and out of...
