Evening all, just bought my first s3 and I absolutely adore it. Owned a audi a3 1.8t a few years back and that was a good car but the s3 is just pure class. I so nearly bought a type r, and I'm so chuffed I didn't. The s3 is totally standard. Comes with the extras of, satnav, Bose, heated seats, parking sensors (for the girlfriend). Has a few small issues, glove box hinge and drivers seat won't raise. However thanks to you guys I have read that they are both fairly easy fixes! The pixels on the dash will need attention but will probably let someone else fix that. Anyway, thanks to all the users new and old for all the posts. I read the buying guides and I appear to have bought a gooden. It's had a full rebuild in 2012 and a new turbo and the same time, Infact I have receipts for £8000 spent on it in the last 3 years. Off for another spin in it :)
 
Hi, welcome to Audi-sport.net. Glad the guides were useful. We all friendly and helpful on here. Where you located?any pics? Enjoy the forum :) x
 
Wow, your story is the same as mine, I too had an A3 1.8t a few years ago, I was thinking of a Type R, then decided to to get an S3, I didn't like the tacky interior of the Honda, or having the screem the engine to get the power, I would highly recommend a stage one Revo remap, gives a nice boost in power and returns better fuel economy when you drive carefully.
 
Cheers for the reply fella. Looking at getting her mapped soon. You did the right thing giving the type r a miss. I've had an ep3 before and they are great engines but....... It's not turbo fun like the s3. Enjoy your ride amigo
