Which color do you think is best for the S3 Saloon?

[HulkRS3]

Struggling on which color to settle on for my new 8V Saloon.. could be doing with a little help. See Poll

 

[Sandra]

Ara Blue be stunning.

 

[RichardT]

Don't they do a red now then?

 

[Audi Bairn]

Doubt if you'll get a meaningful outcome for a number of reasons.
Your taste is your own, we're all different.
We all think ours is best (which is why I clicked Navarra lol).
Best just to pick what you like and will be driving around in

Navarra:

 

[pburv]

Glacier White with BE pack...

 

[Bristle Hound]

If I were to be buying a S3 saloon at the mo, out of the current palette it would have to be ibis white for me

Love ara & navarro but I've already got a blue Audi, so at change time it would have to be different colour for me

BUT as you've asked the question. No brainer. Ara !

Yip they do

 

[Jassyo06]

Subjective Subjective but having been on this forum a bit and seen thousands of photos of A3/S3's,the best colour for a S3 saloon is Daytona Grey by a good bit, why?because it shows up up all the saloon's features lines far more than the others by adding dark and light highlights on every crease and makes the car look very sculpted and if you add the high gloss black optics Daytona becomes very mean looking colour indeed, Daytona has the same effect on the TT and for that fact any A3/S3

 

[Scottyg]

For me it's Floret, so none of the above. If I'd to choose one from the list, it would be Nano Grey.

 

[Mark_86]

In the saloon, I think Navarra blue to be honest. Yellow for the 3-dr and Daytona for the Sportback.

 

[Flying Scotsman]

Well you know my number one, runner up would be glacier white and no BE on S3...looks too much like an S line A3

 

[Psyman79]

Loved my brilliant red one but the don't do it anymore

I've missed some colors out because the poll options are the ones I like. So I understand everyone's taste is similar but I'm literally in limbo with regards as to what one to pick. I love them all, but in the end I think it will come down to Navarra and Daytona.

 

[paradigital]

That's exactly what I ended up with in my shortlist (Daytona and Navarra).

In the end the reason I chose Navarra was twofold. My A6 Avant was Daytona, so "been there, done that", and Navarra was an S3 only colour, rather than something available on a "normal" A3.

 

[Tom.H]

I've ordered a Sportback and was between Daytona Grey and Floret Silver until Ara Blue became available. I've voted Ara Blue mainly because I love the colour but you can't go wrong with Daytona on any model I don't think.

this picture was posted recently and I think it looks stunning ........

I also really like Audi Bairn's car which is navarra blue and looks equally stunning (very similar to estoril) and of course paradigitals as pictured above

So floret silver and navarra blue all the way.

Ara blue does look nice too though

 

[moonlight]

Tough one indeed ..all have their own merits.....grey blue or white........Daytona blows Nano out of the water...Navarra is spectacular and classy when clean...Ara also looks as good....but no great depth to it...pffft...if I were to go back to being pre-Audi then Daytona wins....my previous A3 was Daytona and I never stopped loving it...having had it....I'd go to blue....I've liked them both enormously from the pics ....get both Nav-ara

Too difficult to choose without seeing them in the flesh.....and even then it would be struggle...Navarra looks the better colour to be honest..rich blue...hint of quality-street purple.......but because it will take more maintenance I'd go with Ara......and Ara is also a stunning colour...white doesn't get a look in as nice as it looks...

Bit advice you'll regret getting Navarra Blue if you do,not because l don't like it,its a stunning colour..... but it will be extremely high maintenance......and will be frickin terrible for stone chips after one winter/year TRUST ME l have Sepang and that's even less of a compromise than Navarra....but still its terrible for showing stonechips

Some Daytona there not facelift or even S3's but the same Daytona

Navarra Blue at its very best,this photo highlights it

Navarra:

That photos got more special effect in it than Star Wars Episode 7.....lol

 

[paradigital]

You'd think, but no.

EDIT: Here's the original as shown on my Huawei P9 (taken with my iPhone 6s), using my thumb to cover part of the reg!

 

[Mark_86]

You'd think, but no.

Looks like glass though, how did you manage that?

 

[paradigital]

That was after I'd given the car a quick once over with the machine polisher, then applied the Gyeon Q2 Prime Quartz coating.

 

[Flying Scotsman]

I concur with most views on these posts but again it is what you desire in a colour...As some have mentioned I also love blues and Sepang is my favourite, but and it is big BUT, maintenance on dark colours are not for the faint of heart as @jassyo06 has mentioned. Daytona and Floret look great in the sun, but a tad boring in the rain and cloudy dark days. Again, just my opinions and just go with the colour that stirs your loins and not someone elses

On your RS3 Floret looks awesome and it also works on the Saloon...but Solar....Orange blowz all of them right out this universe....lol

[Tom.H]

How mean do they look with the plate less grille!! Seems a crime to need one on there.

 

[Bristle Hound]
