wow - sold my S3 just over a year ago, just came on here to see what the thoughts are on it's replacement. I must sat i think it's very disappointing - worse cabin by the looks of it - **** touch screen. No quicker then the old version. No 3 door (looks **** and blingly). This generaration of cars are real step backwards for Audi IMO.
With regards to the touch screen, I don't think it is progress, it's a backwards step as it's less usable then the interaction method that was there before. I suspect it's just a cost-cutting measure.
I ordered new S3 last week still awaiting a build dateI see the new S3 is on the configurator, spec'd a Sportback up to just under £40k, anyone ordered ?

Shame that the Tiptronic option has gone, so only paddles for manual mode and if you leave it for a while it goes back to standard auto whereas Tiptronic stayed in manual.

I take it you didn't get a discount ? with it being just launched
19" wheels as option starting at £250 for double spoke and £770 for the Trapiz'sAn S3 Saloon with 18" alloys....that size of wheel will be drowned out in them wheel arches......besides that they're fugly in design....but l am sure ye can buy some 19s a year or so down the line
I know what you mean, but what I meant was it's expected like Phones and Tablets etc - The amount of people who used to drive our Mercedes A Class pool car and get in and start stabbing at the tablet they'd bolted on last minute
I do like the 8V MMI Wheel but I suppose if they don't change it and everybody else is people will start saying the Audi are using such old tech - You know how it goes these days
Must be daft not to buy a car without at least some discount...eh...????

Let me know jassy when your selling your S3 a friend of mine loves it cash waitingi'll just pm you THE DETAILS te spec ma S3 for me then....lol av got to admit l thought the new car would have been a bit more expensive than it is,a fully loaded S3 FL Saloon was around £50k including the drivers assistance pack...extra airbags, through load rear seat facility,Exclusive paint............mines was just under 48 kilo bangers......lol

Hmmm just had a look at the online stuff and then compared it to my 2017 FL model. So about 1.5 inches longer and slightly less than an inch wider or higher. The boot appears to be smaller? It also appears to be fractionally slower. I will wait until I see one for real and get a chance to drive it, but it's not got off to a good start. I was hoping for a bit more boot space which is the only bit on my current car that's not ideal.
Yeah cheers buddy..Will be interesting to see what you come up with.i'll just pm you THE DETAILS te spec ma S3 for me then....lol av got to admit l thought the new car would have been a bit more expensive than it is,a fully loaded S3 FL Saloon was around £50k including the drivers assistance pack...extra airbags, through load rear seat facility,Exclusive paint............mines was just under 48 kilo bangers......lol
The only thing that stinks with the whole configure thing is that you have to pay for side air bags...I think that's quite sh**ty really Audi putting profit over safety. From when I got my S3 in 2015 they were standard.i'll just pm you THE DETAILS te spec ma S3 for me then....lol av got to admit l thought the new car would have been a bit more expensive than it is,a fully loaded S3 FL Saloon was around £50k including the drivers assistance pack...extra airbags, through load rear seat facility,Exclusive paint............mines was just under 48 kilo bangers......lol
The interior dimensions aren't a problem but I was just surprised how little the car has grown compared to the previous gen. The main issue for me has been boot space at times and currently it is almost big enough but an extra 20 or 30 litres would have been ideal, certainly not 30 litres less!lf internal dimensions are a must for the likes of yourself well the A3/A Class/1 Series Are of no use to you as they are all very similar in size

I know it would be paddles only but if they removed the option to be in manual all the time (barring both stall prevention & rev limiter), that would probably be a deal-breaker for me.
I’m surprised if they’ve gotten rid of ‘full’ manual mode, I know the newer S/RS models still have that from some reviews I’ve seen.I know it would be paddles only but if they removed the option to be in manual all the time (barring both stall prevention & rev limiter), that would probably be a deal-breaker for me.
@Jcbmally - Are you planning on returning to Audi buddy?I see the new S3 is on the configurator, spec'd a Sportback up to just under £40k, anyone ordered ?
Just nosing about Col, but never say never.@Jcbmally - Are you planning on returning to Audi buddy?
Give it time fella and I'm sure they will have something like the previous 190ps engine in the mix.I know we're meant to be talking about the S3... but what do we think are the chances of a (non-S) 2.0T quattro / 40 TFSI model? I can't see these referred to anywhere in future plans for the A3 8Y.
I've had 2 x 2.0T quattro and an S3 in 8P flavour and would probably settle for closer to 200hp than 300 these days. My ideal new car would be an 8Y 2.0T quattro in a nice but understated spec (Sport model with lots of upgrades).
You think...?i'd been wanting a double figure discount...or id be walking awayJust had an email from Drive the Deal , they are offering 8.5% discount on the new S3, seems a good deal.

I don't blame you for trying to keep under the 40k rip off tax threshold because I done the same with my 2018 S3 Saloon, although prices were cheaper back then.It was met red, saloon with comfort pack

You know that I always agree with you jassy old bean.Must be daft not to buy a car without at least some discount...eh...????
