Well having smoked around in the S3 for a month i am getting used to it and its strange ways after the superb 3.2......but.!!!!!
Twice now i have nearly totalled it trying to nip out in traffic at a roundabout...Along comes a gap, you floor it and the thing crawls out into the traffic for a second or two, frightening me and everyone else to death , you sit there feeling stupid while everything emergency stops around you , fist shake , V signs exchanged ...then it picks up and off we go.
Is there anything that can be done to make it drive...eh...normally
Yesterday i had to shoot home round the side streets to beat the Traffic ( left something on the stove ) !!! real panic dash and i would have killed to have the 3.2 back !! The S3 just bogs down at every junction and cross roads when you want to go quick.
Its ok with normal driving but the 3.2 will throw you back in the seat if you floor it from 750 rpm and being DSG you just cant get the revs up on the S3 so everytime you pull up and pull away you have lost all the go.
Maybe i need to do launch control at junctions..lol
