In S mode after about 1200 miles, the S3 is .."unlocked", scary performance.
Noticeable difference after about 1200 miles or just the engine feeling a bit looser?

I've just been playing with the Golf R configurator and I found an option that I've missed since my girlfriends ford Ka that I can't believe I couldn't spec with the S3 (or I may have missed it).
Climate windscreen
Wireless electrically conductive layer in glass laminate. In Winter, accelerates defrosting and prevents fogging. In Summer, reflects solar radiation to reduce interior temperature. (Only in conjunction with advanced telephone connection).

Good luck if you can still find such a deal for your wife. Those deals several months ago were business only. Much later a new campaign was run where private individuals were able to apply as well.I will tell you why. It's because a large number if golf r cars are leased. I posted an amazing deal several months ago on hotukdeals for a golf r on a two year lease at 180 plus vat for 10k miles, approx 1200 deposit. So over 2 years it cost less than 7k. Lots of idiots got them it seems. Great cars, wife may get one as the r like the s3 is understated. Still reckon vag have made a big mistake. Why make such similar cars
Me neitherI do think it is rather funny to suggest that people who took up a fantastic deal are idiots. I can't see the correlation.
Very much sounds a s tho' your trolling to me, again V8That's Audi drivers for you, they paint such generalisations
a troll (/ˈtroʊl/, /ˈtrɒl/) is a person who sows discord on the Internet by starting arguments or upsetting people,[1] by posting inflammatory,[2] extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community (such as a newsgroup, forum, chat room, or blog) with the deliberate intent of provoking readers into an emotional response[3] or of otherwise disrupting normal on-topic discussion.[4]
AgreedCan't say I disagree with any of that. V8 does make some helpful contributions to the forum sometimes though (eg. FAQ/Search Police)
That's Audi drivers for you, they paint such generalisations
Why not all just for for the Seat. Surely Auto Express can't be that wrong
Go wash your mouth young man Surely that has to be an ultra cheap VW Golf RThe Leon Cupra - Oft described as "the thinking man's hot hatch"
Nope, not too subtle at all. Its just what I expect from you at the momentErrrrmmm.............
Sorry if it was a little too subtle for you...... but......
The trolling statement I made wasn't just in relation to that statement mateThat was meant to be an ironic statement, as opposed to a trolling statement !!!!
(Me, Audi Driver, making a vast generalisation..... !! )
(I think you were a little too hasty there and jumped down my throat a bit quick!)
Not really. Just had to comment to your 'generalisation'
We agree on something V8No car is perfect, neither is the S3, it has many plus points, and some negative points!
But, as pointed out by a few on here, some S3 owners are pre-disposed to blindly believing that it's the best thing since sliced bread. Yes I have spent my ££ on it, but really is no reason to fool myself by blindly saying it's perfect, it's far from it!
Most of what I post is pretty factual, so what if the occasional view that I have is negative? There are plenty of forum members who love their S3's and this balances out the information here on this forum.
This is my 3rd Audi, I don't think anyone can accuse me of not liking the brand and being slightly loyal, but honest at the same time! Why haven't I sold my S3 and gone for something better? Well, maybe the R400 may tempt me, but for the time being, I'm not prepared to lose out in depreciation! have to say though, love the growls from the AMGs.
The last thing we want on this forum is for it to go all Apple-like with devoted followers, and sycophantic. Ugh. Just ugh.
V8 you must resist, must resist lolI will admit, sometimes the temptation is too great, and I have to interrject with a "wtf" - eg: in the mono.pur thread ! I mean, seriously !
However, the mono.put thread did make me laugh, a lot lol
No you don't start them agreed. But by hell your in there like a flash lolMay I suggest that maybe you and some others are overly sensitive to any swipes against S3's, either by myself or others? I don't think you'll find me starting any threads slating S3's ?
Nor will you find unsolicited comments from me about S3's or Golf R's or AMG's, that someone already hasn't posted a barbed comment about, at me. I'm just responding to the hate out there
Not sensitive, just you do go on a bit how bad the S3's are mate. You do
Well said!Me neither
Very much sounds a s tho' your trolling to me, again V8
Definition of a troll from Wikipedia - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Troll_(Internet)
You do so much good on ASN V8 but then spoil it all by constantly berating not only the Audi brand and their drivers, but also the S3 models. This is an Audi forum if you haven't forgot
No car is without flaws mate, S3, Golf R, Cayman, Veyron the list goes on
We all get your point, you think the S3 is *****. Any chance to say so in any thread, there you are berating it AGAIN. We know your opinions on Audi's and S3's V8 *** give it a rest, please
But what really surprises me is that you've spent your hard earned and bought a S3. I said it another thread and I'll say it again. If they're so bad why haven't you sold yours & bought something you consider 'better'
I along with a lot of other new & not so new ASN members are really excited about our current S3 and anticipated S3's, but to be constantly reminded at every turn how bad/***** our purchase is/was is a bit galling TBH
I am a member of a Golf R forum (not on there as much for obvious reasons) and I can't remember anyone being so anti S3 on there as you and you own a S3!
I know everyone is entitled to their own opinions, but really V8 ....
Well said!
Only this week, an 8P ASN poster was complaining (in the 8P forum) that he/she was flamed in the 8V forum for mooting a different view of the 8V S3/RS3.
Not exactlt a great commendation !
Good to see you're feeling brave enough to jump on a bandwagon
An Internet forum bandwagon at that. Proper keyboard warrior
Well done.
Just agreed with BH. Seems like someone is still bitter yawnnnn! Get over it mate.
It was rather unnecessary, not to mention late, following explanations and reaching a mutual understanding.Just agreed with BH. Seems like someone is still bitter yawnnnn! Get over it mate.
Bristle, I don't wish to fall out either.
I'm not sure why you're choosing to make it about me, one lone voice in a forum full of opinions and views.
But I can't help but think that you have a slightly skewed view at the moment?
Maybe of me, or Internet foruns in general.
I've been part of the 8P forum, and lately the 8V forum.
The 8V forum does seem to be a little precious at times, compared with the 8P forum. And Pistonheads is a different league altogether. As is TTOC.

Dare I say almost like rforum
WHAT? - the Golf R is not perfect?Some poor chap over there has just posted his 1000 mile review, and dared to list some negative points, oh boy, the abuse he's had! Been called a troll, called out for being plain wrong, and the usual "your car must be broken" all trotted out within 2 pages!
Heaven forbid that ASN turns out to be like that
Yes, if you're not in the right gear at the right time in the S3 or R, you'll get smoked
And especially, don't take on a BMW 335D.
