    Are 8v still worth in getting over an 8y?

    I sold my 8y s3 to sort my mortgage and once that’s done I need another car and just can’t decide. I was hoping to get an 8v cheap for now but they are still a lot and I also don’t really want to pay circa £20k for a normal 8y when I’ve come from an s3. It’s a hard one

    Are 8v still worth in getting over an 8y?

    I thought the 8v was meant to be alot better interior quality wise? I do like the look of the 8v but I’m not sure £16500 for a 2018 with nearly 60k is good. They all seem to be about the price though

    Are 8v still worth in getting over an 8y?

    For example my local Audi has a 2018 black edition 1.5 tfsi for £15.500 with 58k miles. But you can get a newer 8y for only about £1k more. Is it pointless getting the 8v at current prices?

    Is there any problems with the 67 plate S3’s?

    Also, my local Audi has a 2020 35 8v black edition saloon with around 27k miles for £20k. Is that an ok price? I do like the 8v but it’s only about £4k off an edition 1 8y price wise. So not sure if it’s over priced? Audi are usually accurately priced though aren’t they.

    Is there any problems with the 67 plate S3’s?

    It does look clean but doesn’t have the digital dash which is a shame so has old school dials

    Is there any problems with the 67 plate S3’s?

    I’ve just sold my 8y s3 and there’s a 67 plate s3 black edition for sale near me with 49k miles for £20k. Are these generally ok? Or at that miles is there lots of problems or servicing needed? I assume Haldex service but that’s not too bad to get filter done?

    Does the fl s3 only hit the rev limiter in dynamic plus mode?

    You’d think normal dynamic mode and in manual would also hit the limiter

    Does the fl s3 only hit the rev limiter in dynamic plus mode?

    I test drove one but I was a guest user on the mmi so it only went up to dynamic mode, it didn’t show dynamic plus mode on the screen. I had it in dynamic in manual mode on a test drive but it shifted up itself like the pre fl does.

    I see they’ve put badges on the front again on the new rs3, are they also putting the s3 badge on the s3s again?

    I’m guessing Audi listened to people’s complaints lol?

    Are there any issues with the early a3 35’s?

    I did look at a3 but the payments weren’t that much less than the s3, so didn’t really seem worth it. Also slightly off topic but what do people think of the felt trim in the fl s3? As previous ones had silver plastic but they now have a felt like fabric around the mmi screen and glovebox etc...

    Are there any issues with the early a3 35’s?

    I think my s3 does that anyway though? Where it charges the battery also when coasting. Audi also called me today about some special they have on for car upgrades, so I’ll see what they can do about the fl s3 out of interest

    Are there any issues with the early a3 35’s?

    Thinking of maybe trading my s3 for a normal a3 as I don’t use it much but I seem to remember issues/common faults on the early circa 2020 a3s in this forum. Is there certain years I should avoid etc? Or are they all the same? And what’s the best spec normal a3? As lots are saying s line or...

    Still getting a plastic creak/cracking from passenger door area

    It’s so annoying and ruining my experience of the car. It’s probably something fairly simple too. I just don’t know why it’s only really the passenger front door area that does this. When I go round the areas touching bits I can’t see what’s causing it. It also probably is worse when the car is...

    Still getting a plastic creak/cracking from passenger door area

    I seem to be getting a mixture of creaks from the passage side. One i think is the silver plastic bit above the glovebox where it says Quattro on the s3s or Audi on s3. One maybe from the plastic on door card (front by window air vent/door mirror area part creaks a bit when I press on it so...

    People who have upgraded an s3 to the latest s3 on pcp…

    I put £5k down. I thought Audi work it all out so that the customer will have equity left over so they can get them into a new car each time? As if there’s never any money left over to trade in, most people won’t get another pcp

    People who have upgraded an s3 to the latest s3 on pcp…

    Ah. Yeah I was just hoping Audi knew what they are doing with the figures so I’ve got a few grand equity when it comes to my balloon payment of £25k in October.

    People who have upgraded an s3 to the latest s3 on pcp…

    Not sure what that will do? As my current redemption figure is just under £29k, so I’ll have no value for trade in?

    People who have upgraded an s3 to the latest s3 on pcp…

    My balloon payment in October is £25k so I’m just following the current values to get an idea of how much equity I’ll have to trade in or not. I was hoping for at least £3k but it’s hard to tell

    People who have upgraded an s3 to the latest s3 on pcp…

    Has the market dropped quite a bit? I’m seeing 1 year old fl s3’s for under £40k. When I got my 2023 pfl black edition, they were around £42k used
