Is it just me or is the noise the S3 makes when you boot it a bit addictive?

Absolutely mate!
I was cruising round town yesterday evening and it sounded like a caged tiger. Can't get enough of it
I've noticed on mine the sound varies a bit from day to day too. It's like it's playing good cop, bad cop with me

Grrrrrrrrr Tiger makes a great sound!
I was in Mrs Pulps electric Renault ZOE the other night and stopped at a fast roundabout in my town that has an exit to a lovely straight bypass to let a car around.
I stop for a 15 plate S3 saloon that turned off for the bypass.
The guy booted it and the noise coming from the back of it and the rate of knots he was soon going up the bypass surprised me. It was a lovely deep noise! They are ****** quick those S3's!!
Obviously I heard more than in a normal car as the ZOE has no engine noise

It can cause problems tho..... A few weeks back I was at a red light and had left it in manual mode. As I set off I changed up manually and quickly.... 1st, 2nd then 3rd and a Garda (Policeman) who was walking with his back to me turned around quickly and gestured me to pull over! He assumed I was giving it beans and told me to take it easy..... I explained the situation and went on my way

Yep. Take it easy. Never been pulled over in over 20 years. A few months into my S3 ownership, got collared and have just completed a speed awareness course.

My cruise control is almost exclusively for 30/40mph zones and for speed restricted sections on the motorway. All too easy to creep up and before you know it you're done. As for other times, well, it's being vigilant. Most of the time I don't speed too much, i just like to get to that speed quickly!
I don't know as I have to wait till December to get mine :-(
Yes also nervous for my licence ......

Seemed like a long (self-enforced, admittedly) wait for me when I placed my order on the last Saturday in March for delivery over 5 months later, 2nd September, but it's flown by and i'm now less than 4 weeks from collection. Keep conversing on here and it'll be here sooner than you think!

you know the A3 makes that sound too.
