    Is the manual more fun than s-Tronic?

    Hi guys, still looking at S3s and I’m of a mind to get a used manual due to the fact I feel the S-Tronic may be lacking involvement and I like to feel like I’m driving in a car like an S3! Is this something others would agree with?

    S3 running costs

    63miles a day mainly M1 with some driving in the outskirts of London at the end and some countryside nearer home.

    S3 running costs

    Unfortunately I work inside the M25 so diesel is likely to become more expensive to run due to tax rates on diesel cars. But I get what you mean, and I currently run petrol but granted that’s a 1.4l not a 2.0l turbo

    S3 running costs

    yeah, fair enough! I mean for starters my insurance is going to be £1,400 at the cheapest but I’m putting my savings towards the insurance so not too worried by that main concern was fuel I think I worked it out to be about 3-4K a year driving at 25-30mpg average!

    S3 running costs

    Hi guys, was wondering if anyone had any advice on running costs for a S3. I will be doing up to 17k miles a year for work etc. A fair bit of rush hour commuting included in that mileage for work.

    Buying Advice on a Used Approved S3

    Anyone have opinions on the Cabriolet? Found a lovely looking one, my only issue is that they are soft top and I prefer a body colour roof look...

    Buying Advice on a Used Approved S3

    Yeah that's the sort of spec I'm looking for. But budget is maximum of low 20k's and preferably less than 50k miles on the clock and 15 reg.
