Just curious about the percentage of people here who have an A3/S3/RS3. Also curious about your engine type if you've got an A3, so feel free to comment your engine type and any extras.
What car do you have? (Poll)

I was going to but I thought it’d create a bit more of a discussion If I left it out, plus I wanted to keep it simple
I’ve got the 1.5TFSI engine and in the two months or so I’ve had it, it’s been a dream to drive! quite punchy when you need it to be !
I had a Q2 when my A3 when in for an ECU update, I've always slightly preferred diesel for the torque factor but I loved the 1.4TFSI, crazy how they get 150bhp out of a tiny engine.

Its really a great engine. You can drive sporty with it but also very economic. I changed my throttle response so it drives even better
A3 8V Facelift Limousine
Yeah, I was expecting a good amount of S3's but I'm quite surprised how many there are on here in comparison to A3's, I rarely see an S3 on the road.
I am the same....rarely see another S3 on the road, but there are loads of owners on here.

I would have thought that owners of S3's are just more active on here. More of a community for a performance car compared to a diesel that is used for business or work purposes.

2015 S3 3dr hatch with mods that matter the most Hahaha.
Haha would've loved a 2.0 but insurance not so much.. plus it was £4k cheaper so who could've said no to that
How much is it to insure? The 8V I'm going to collect Tuesday is a 2.0 TDI and I can get a decent insurance quote on it, and I'm only a 19 year old student.
Either you live somewhere where crime and car crashes never happen, or your policy has you as a named driver... I’m 25, 8yr NCD, no faults etc, no points, and I’m just over £400/yr in a safe post code area
When I was 19 I was paying about 1.5k to insure a year old 1.4L Corsa
an mY15 Sportback, thats missing a few of the pieces it really needs, in Sydney I see as many S3 as s-line A3s, but standard A3 not too many, either that or I just don't notice them, quite a few RS3 sedans around, but the RS3 Sportback is rather rare.
no offence I just hate electric cars as a whole
Lucky!!! now that solely depends on your point of view lol
Loads of sporty 3 door golf's to be had and the 3 door golf is better looking? l don't know what's what's worse folks with a hang up with the demise of the 3 models or the demise of the manual gearbox! As both weren't very popular ergo.......
Also 2017 3 door facelift. I do like all of the S3 styles to be fair, went for 3 door purely because of the deal I got on it and was coming from a TT so somehow feels more practical.
£1.1k provisional for the 1.6L, will be about £2.2k full once I've passed my test. I'm 17 and the full insurance will be with a blackbox
Called everywhere for 2L and it was either about £4-6k or an invalid quote.
I feel your pain. Have you tried going direct with some people? My first year directline were the cheapest by a large portion (£1.1k Vs £1.4k). With a black box. Similarly admiral do a policy where you only need to have it for 3 months.

Tried contacting a load. Fairly sure DirectLine weren't even interested. Admiral wanted £5k on my family's insurance too. Bizarre, I live in a really safe neighborhood and 1.6L isn't even that big of an engine.
Yeah is a bizarre one. Many won't insure me either on an 2017 S3. 20 yrs old.
Tesco as well usually do well, I'm sure you've tried most, if like me you go trawling through a lot of them.
