    Solar Orange S3 Sportback

    Yes, the S3 order was cancelled. Deposit returned in full and I then ordered the Merc. The missis got involved and that was that. My cayman is currently at the menders - I binned it on a recent track day. Ooops... so currently driving around in my 320D. Yawn.

    S3 Saloon - Open for Orders!

    Like I said, some of you need to get over yourselves. If anyone comes on and tells me they think solar orange on an S3 looks crap, fair enough. Who am I to tell them that their opinion isn't valid? Being rude about a car? Sounds like something my kids would say. Ask me what I think about Nissan...

    S3 Saloon - Open for Orders!

    Who stole her sweets? Oh sorry, just noticed you have ordered a 1.4 A3 saloon. Cough. It's not being rude - it's called having an opinion. My opinion. Just because mine's at odds with someone else's you say I should shut up? I couldn't care less what anyone says about my car, clearly you do. If...

    Solar Orange S3 Sportback

    Funny as I have had a car stolen and that was red... yeah, can you live with it? That is the question I need to ask myself. There's an orange TTS near me - every time I see it I think, wow, wish I'd got colour...

    Real acceleration figures for the 2.0TDI

    Having briefly owned a TDI TTC (a loan car given to me a couple of weeks ago whilst my TTS was in for some warranty work) I can tell you that the words ' acceleration ' and ' 2.0 TDI' don't go together well. Utterly gutless is more accurate! Very disappointing for what was supposed to be a...

    S3 Saloon - Open for Orders!

    I just don't get why anyone would buy a 4 door saloon when there's a five door hatch available which is more practical and better looking! Four door saloons are very (VERY) dated and I thought the only reason audi even made the new a3 into one was because other markets demanded it. The sales...

    What's the drop - Magnetic Ride

    Just to say if the mag ride is as crap and useless as it is in my TTS I wouldn't bother! Inconsistent ride and handling, jittery in the wet and then put it in sport mode and the car becomes very uncomfortable with no discernible improvement in grip - in fact I personally think the car is quicker...

    Solar Orange S3 Sportback

    Thanks everyone. I am so nearly going for it! I've asked the dealer for some kind of discount against the £2500 they want to charge me for it though - on the previous S3 it was £500 extra. Hmm. Also the missis is not sold on it yet - she wants to go with Glacier White, the same colour as our...

I test drove one in a dark metalic blue, I think is was estaril or something along those...
