This one ain't too shabby mate. For the price it's a safe bet till the new shape is released.. As for extras like you said not much out there on the RS3 saloons.
Why would anyone want to go shooting unless it’s clay pigeons?You forgot the ground clearance for when you go shooting each weekend and the massive space at the back for when you buy something or do a tip run

Looks like they give decent results at a reasonable cost. Was tempted to do the S3 last year but never got round to doing it. Had a quote from an APR franchised garage near me and the quote from memory was just over £600. Also around £450 for the gearbox tune.
I know there is a lot of discussion on the forum regarding which tuner is best for the 2.0 VAG engines.Will have to look up what the consensus is on that.
Cheers buddy
Do you think it's a big enough of a change to warrant the extra £££ to change though?
There's a lot to think about.It was one of the reasons why I never went ahead with the S3 tune.
The 5 cylinder engine is a big attraction don't you think? Combine that with a full spec would be the cherry on the cake
When it first came out I was offered a test drive by the guy that sold me the S3, I just didn't think it was worth the extra money for a bit more noise! I think if I were going around £40k or more on a used car I'd go for something like a Porsche 718 Cayman or a Jag https://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/202008132439209?The 5 cylinder engine is a big attraction don't you think?

The Cayman is great fun! As part of the VW/Audi family they are well put together and reliable.When it first came out I was offered a test drive by the guy that sold me the S3, I just didn't think it was worth the extra money for a bit more noise!

I just think it looks the money! But we all have our own ideas...I just think @jassyo06 would suit a 2 seater sports car...don't ask me why I just do
Between those two examples the main thing to consider is depreciation. The 2020 Jag would be my choice in the colour of the 2018 one.Depreciation would be more compared to the porker I would've thought? Interesting results on the Autotrader expert reviews compared to owners reviews on the 2018 Jag and the porker.When it first came out I was offered a test drive by the guy that sold me the S3, I just didn't think it was worth the extra money for a bit more noise!

Good thing with the Porsche is you can keep getting a warranty on it up to 14 years old! as you say price will drop slowly compared to most cars of the same value. He doesn't want an suv, he's not in the geriatric group yet!Between those two examples the main thing to consider is depreciation.

Seeing as I have my SUV head on eh @jassyo06 and I could stretch the purse string a bit more this would be my choice.....
For just under another £16k You could get this one

Ok it's not exactly a two seater for old jassy boy lol but you would probably have a lot more fun in it. Especially on the school run

He's ****** older than me lol
Knew you still had it in you pal
Oooooh! Nasty..He must of had an easier paper round as a kid then
lol
Looking good mate, did you ever contact Martin at Unit20 about tuning it???
But would you have wanted to take your S3 to these places?
I’m probably in the geriatric group but reckon I will probably get a years free motoring with a new Porsche Targa 4S. Currently, due to short supply, they are advertised at £15-20k over list price. You do need to have the capital to make it work but with poor interest rates due to Brexit Bolloxcks and Covid etc why not?Good thing with the Porsche is you can keep getting a warranty on it up to 14 years old! as you say price will drop slowly compared to most cars of the same value.

Ha ha.. Been halfway up that track with the S3 twice...I didn't like it much.But would you have wanted to take your S3 to these places?
From my own perspective it wouldnt matter how off road capable my car was, I still wouldn't take it off road by choice.
Maybe I'm just getting old and fed up of cars...but I'm thinking maybe a sporty looking suv is the way to go! Thinking is get a car that you can do the most with...I even thought an suv would be handy to do a tip run the other day!!!But would you have wanted to take your S3 to these places?

You'd be in safe hands mate, I was meant to post my dashcam video of what he had in there when I took mine in last month, loads of RS's and even a couple of Lamborghinis!!! He'd just put a £7,000 Akrapovic exhaust system on a brand new RSQ8 which had been collected from Crewe Audi and driven straight to him!!!I'm sure if I decide to go for a tune then I will definitely be in touch with Martin.
