That fooking XXXXXXXX on that rear bumper/diffuser is ghastly looking annoys me personally .....gloss finished would have been passable

All these car videos we all have posted ...their spec doesn't exist on the UK configurator....a mish mash of models....Audi chucking them out as soon as ..but as it stands....the interiors are as dull as dish water to my eyes....S3 better Trump them with the seats....and upholstery....ie add red or blue stitching etc etc if not l wont be buying one....all l see is drab grey....coverings hate Alcantara.....faux leather l wont ever buy a car with Alcantara or faux leather on the seat coverings or on the steering wheel ....so from what l have seen so far on the internet the sport back is the better looking car....and l wont buy another hatchback....

Each to their own I guess. I far prefer Alcantara seats over leather.

I’m really not much of a fan so far, especially the saloon version. I just hope the S3 has big changes this time and maybe I’ll change my mind.

current S3 still looks up to date to me so I’d rather get the current S3, it’s a much cleaner and stylish look. New one looks cheap and tacky with all these fake vents and plastic. Disappointed to be honest.

You Do realise Alcantara...is a variant of micofibre ie A really cheap cloth to manufacture...if not the cheapest so why would you pay premium money for Alcantara over classy leather Unless yer a Vegan, Microfiber is great looking as long as your **** and mitts aint in contact with it..besides over a long term it's a fooker to keep looking good on contact surfaces

So far Biggest Difference l see is in the Sportback....fans of it will be happy.....8v saloon owners step back actually......S3 Saloon was always that bit more special....in it's design than the hatch

Its a grower for sure

i'm toying with the idea of an interim car, price range £25-30k as the itch is getting worrying
as you know i have a deposit down on a RS3 build slot, but need to scratch the audi itch for a year+, before that happens
current car E46 M3 54 plate nice,quick , but a little long in the tooth now, i'm no mechanic, so that's off to a new home before it breaks

audi S3 2018 or RS4 2013 is where i keep looking at the mo but need it within 2 weeks

tax on the RS4 is a bit harsh at nearly £600 notes

Both are the deposit monies on the RS3 and i may take the PCP option on that for 4 years
or pay outright and break the bank.....OUCH!!!!

any other recommendations greatly appreciated as long as its an audi, not interested in any other marque and in the price range
anyone know anyone thinking of selling in the next 2 weeks, i live in the south Birmingham area and would prefer a local ish purchase

A year ish is a long time to wait as i have already waited a year so far for an RS3

Regards Pete

Why the hell has it got those alloys on it :blink: ?

I don’t like them on the RS3, never mind put them on a brand new model.

The new s line alloys look quite groovy ... thank god the rotors are gone :)

Looking back at this video I noticed how bad the reflection could be on the dash. Quite bad I think.

Looking Back....at that video and All l see is my own car....lol Python Yellow car is the best looking so far its early doors though....the ever so dull grey interiors need a bit of colour/contrast....to lift/jazz it up a bit

Saw one in the showroom today, it wasn't great looking in the metal, though I have to say it wasn't a high spec model which obviously always look a lot better.

On the fence with the it, until l see and drive the S3 ....Which should be revealed in the next few months if not sooner
I dont like dull grey car interiors at all,my current S3 has the red stitching everywhere and my previous S3 had Lunar Silver seats. .....

Looks like they took the pictures with a Polaroid! If it wasn't for the fact the RSQ3 is ancient tech wise, I'd quite fancy one.
I have been looking at a few recently. Was thinking of chopping in the wife's Q3 S line and getting a used one. It's all about the engine for me, tech has never been a decider on which car I want....Just price lol
As for the image quality on that trader advert I think they were taken from outside looking in through glass showroom...Extreme social distancing ha ha

Just been for a quick drive in this ....impressive and the front looks very nice....not my taste of paint colour, dashboard and driving position build quality are excellent as was the HUD....Sounds ****** good for a wltp car as well,excellent gearbox,steering wheel,chassis felt better than mines but not just as fast from stationary

I didn’t like these based on the photo’s, but in the metal they actually look really good and the interiors are fantastic.

Is that one storm grey?

I don’t mind the sportback but I still definitely prefer the current version.

New S3 will be shown soon by the looks of it

Yes mate..It is a very nice car indeed but that specific car didnt give me that whao feeling that l want ....if it where optioned with 19s and a external Msport package it would look very good indeed....it was like sitting in a TT.......ie very low and sporty......BMW have a great car here....sounds excellent too

I saw one today with a load of additional kit on, it looked oem but I can’t find a similar one on autotrader, looked really smart.
