Firstly hello to the forum as im fairly new here and have just bought an S3 on monday to replace my mk5 gti golf.
I originally had a new scirocco ordered from vw but i just started thinking what can i get nearly new for the same kind of cash and sure enough i stumbled across the s3. Mines a nov 08 registered, 08 model year car, 9k miles, in sprint blue, with bose, phone prep in armrest, the standard cd sat nav, and with the black leather and silver alcantara centres. i think thats all! I managed to get a great deal on it at £23,500
Heres my first pics of it, excuse the dirt.....

Anyhow im chuffed to bits with the car so far except that i cant get the bluetooth to work so its going back to audi on friday for a look. Its just a touch faster than my gti was but gets its power down alot better especially in the wet. I even managed to get 35mpg on the run home of 120 miles.
ive already tracked down a fbmfsw (cheers jams3) and i'll be getting it remaped when the time is right, probably be next spring now.

Sprint Blue is always the best F***ing colour for Audi S cars...

NICE!
 
Like the 2 tone trim.
Probably what I would have specced had I have bought new.
Enjoy.
 
Welcome to the club :icon_thumright:

Weve got that many damn s3s on here we should have national meet in a central location. That would blow ppls heads as you dont see many on a day to day. :)
 
Is that the GTi in the 3rd pic?
 
Am I missing something here? November 08 registered and it's on a 57 plate? If you meant November 07 it would be an 07 plate though.

I'm very confused.

Nice car by the way, Sprint Blue is far and away the best colour for any Audi S car, and I've never seen that interior combo before, reminds me of the Recaro's in the old S3.
 
I could have been registered in 08.

The 08 "plate" didnt come out until March... but yeh, the november thing is confusing. unless its a private plate :laugh:

Eh?

A November 07 registration would be a 57 plate, would it not?
 
Looking good - Didn't you have a white GTI before. And yes get a re-map, make's it a completely different animal.

And to everyone else confused about the plate, I think he meant Nov. 2007 registered on a 57 plate, but its an 08 model year - Correct me if Im wrong

Enjoy
 
Most say very lovely car
Dont really see s3 much on the road by me
Only seen a black one and a white one on road both 57 plates and above
Great car and sounds like a good deal :)

Looks stunning. I have just ordered one and your pics have stopped me wondering about what colour to have. I think I have looked at every colour and picture on the net....It was down to sprint blue or Aruba blue. After 3 black cars in a row I think i have punished myself enough LOL
