Yes - Audi realigned the wheels for me and it is better now :) Might try to convince the other half to carry on renting for longer hehehe! I don't want to be S3less...

Its hard to tell, because the MPG seems to get higher with the warmer weather, and having bought her in December its hard to know whether the MPG is improving due to the engine loosening up or whether its the warmer weather. 38mpg isn't too shabby though ;)

How come? Its a really simple process to clear...?

After all excitement of getting the S3, the other half and I have decided to go for a mortgage and get out of rented accommodation. There, as sad as it makes me, the S3 is once again for sale. Just thought I'd give you a heads up - I'll put it in the ads section as well. Audi S3 Sportback Black...

Hi all, Ever since I bought my S3 in December it pulls to the left. So, on a straight road (eg motorway) if I release my grip on the steering wheel, within about 6/7 seconds I am in the lane to the left of me. This does prove useful when going round left-hand bends however ;) I took it down to...

I'm one of those annoying swines who parks miles away from the entrance - like that episode of The Simpsons when Homer parks so far away from work it's right by his house. I then quite selfishly take two spaces, thinking it doesn't matter because there are tonnes of other spaces around. But then...

I tend to leave mine in D when stationary only when on a hill so I can make most of the hill-hold. Otherwise I'll leave it in N. Though I often wonder what the driver behind me thinks when the brake lights come on momentarily before I set off...

I often pop mine into manual mode when cruising round town at 30-35 and want to leave it in 6th. If I leave it in D it will often go down to 5th and higher my fuel consumption!

Can also confirm that my iPhone 5 works on the RNS-E (media edition). I even use a cheapo cable from eBay into a genuine apple 30-pin adapter thing. But I've since bought a 160gb iPod, and occasionally use the iPhone for streaming podcasts or using TuneIn Radio. 1xtra sounds good on the Bose ;)

Glad to hear they're comfy. I find the standard seats in my S3 just as comfy as the Recaro seats in my previous S4. I do miss the electric lumber support though. Which other extras have you got??

Lovely colour - that's what colour my S4 was! Definitely stands out from the crowd. I'm sure we'd all be very interested in knowing how comfy the seats are after sitting in them for a while...

I leave the volume knob at the imperfect 12 o'clock mark, and can only adjust the volume using the steering wheel, thus leaving the dial in the same position! Another habit I have gotten into is not putting my hands/fingers on the white stitching on the steering wheel for fear of it discolouring!

I always used to forget that my iPhone was in there and would leave it in the car for ages...

Just got back and it did indeed carry on from where it left off. Before turning on the engine I checked whether the iPod was being charged, and it was. Infact when the iPod is plugged in, the iPod displays an Audi logo and I am unable to make any changes on the device itself. I doubt this...

Haha love it! That does beat mine - but that's such a good idea. It's a shame Xmas has just past - new car mats would have been the ideal Xmas prezzie!! What about a no fingers on glass policy?? My other half has just reminded me of the time she put her hand on the inside of the door and I...
