Apologies for this pointless observation but I've noticed facelift s3 cars seem to have an "s" logo on the super sports seats rather than "s3" which is on my seats + steering wheel. Is this right? If so seems like a bit of a cost saving move by Audi in that they can use these for both s3 and s-line cars!?

I've noticed that too, I presume it's so the same seat can be used on all the S models. Think it's pretty sh**ty to be honest.

Same for the standard gauges in the car! Only s3 logos ive noticed on the car is the front and back bumpers and the mmi start up seems abit tight for a 34k+ car

I think the reasoning for the S designation is Audi's move this year to promoting Audi Sport as the performance division, much like BMW M division.
The S line cars in Canada have no S on embossed on the seats, only the S3 models

Yeah it's cost cutting in S3 models and in S4,S5 etc
Quattro gbmh is now Audi Sport gbmh ie RS
It is what it is
