Picked up my new S3 Thursday and love it! Never driven an automatic before this and wondered if i'd made the wrong decision while waiting but I'm over the moon with the gearbox especially round town. ( although start stop is annoying and not able to permanently turn if off grrr)

100 miles in driving mostly town roads averaging 25mpg but my foot has't been down to the floor yet.... head a few crackles and pops though which is giving me a real itch to plant my foot but manual says different so must wait!

Extras were folding mirrors, sports seats, B+O sound system, tints and rear parking sensors ( still to be fitted)

The colour is VERY difficult to photo but looks amazing when the sun hits it.

Overall mega impressed and at 28 feel incredibly lucky to be able to have one :)

Congratulations mate, glad you are enjoying it. There's a few 3 door S3 Navarra owners on here... actually a bit too many for my liking :p

Love this colour! Looks stunning mate. Not impressed they've dropped the "3" from the seat embossing though? Cost cutting...

Lovely S3 and a very nice colour. When's it booked in for its detail??

As for the SS with the s-tronic, if you feather the brake you'll stop the SS from kicking in. I don't mind it at all but tend to switch it off in stop start traffic.

It goes right across the S model line up mate, whether it's a S3,S4,S5 including the seat embossing it's penny pinching from Audi

****** Sh**e if you ask me..It's these little things that make it stand out against other models in the range....My guess it's not saving them money at all as it's putting potential customers off?

Yeah gotta agree with you mate, there's precious little to seperate the 'S' models from the rest of the range as it is....................oooooiiiiii Audi, NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!! lol

@y3sjy - Great looking S3 HB :thumbs up:
But, we NEED more pic's

Start/stop = the scurge of modern day motoring IMO
When the new car tax rules kick in next April, hopefully car manufacturers will stop fitting it

Is it also to comonise S Line and S* bits throughout the 3,4 & 5 models by the sound of it ? - thinking seats and steering wheel to start with.
