as in ICE cars are also a "very expensive" piece of metal with 4 wheels.

You could say the same for ICE cars...

Looking at buying an edition one myself, had a sit in one the other day and the interior seems really nice. @Sandra any chance of a subforum for both types? Notice this says Sportback. Cheers.

With regards to the touch screen, I don't think it is progress, it's a backwards step as it's less usable then the interaction method that was there before. I suspect it's just a cost-cutting measure.

wow - sold my S3 just over a year ago, just came on here to see what the thoughts are on it's replacement. I must sat i think it's very disappointing - worse cabin by the looks of it - crap touch screen. No quicker then the old version. No 3 door (looks crap and blingly). This generaration...

Yeah I think so too, unfortunately. Certainly in built up metropolitan areas anyway. And it's only going to get more prevalent once we have autonomous cars, which is probably only a couple of decades off, tops.

I replaced it with....drumroll..... Nothing :). I'm moving up to Edinburgh so will be in the city centre, plan is to just use Uber and or Zip cars for hire as and when we need a car. Maybe in a few years time if I have the money i'll but myself an oldish 911 or an RS4 avant. Won't be for a...

yes mate, same guy. top bloke. Would certainly consider buying from them.

Good luck with the M3 sale. How was the M3 as a day to day car by the way? I hired a bog standard 3er a while back and was put off by the amount of tyre roar on the motorway.

True, in terms of bang for buck now is certainly a great time to buy. As someone who has just sold his S3 i wouldn't hesitate in recommending the car, it is an immense motor and I am generally sad to see mine go. In terms of cabin quality nothing else is comparable in the price bracket. I...

Easier said then done. Just because someone sounds genuine on the phone doesn't mean they're a complete ******* tool once they turn up/don't turn up. In the end I did as listers_socks suggested and put it on tootle. Completely pain free experience, car bought by a performance car firm, bloke...

if it's fully loaded as you say check the pano roof opens and closes correct and also check that it dosn't creak/whistle at motorway speeds. Same for the drivers side door, check that it doesn't let wind noise in at over 60/70. Car should be pretty quiet basically.

Just out of interested what issues have you had with your used approved?

Should being the operative word.

Blimey, i think you're crazy for even attempting that but fair play. Where you not tempted to just chop your car in for a facelift version?

For me 7 years into the model cycle is a bit late to join the party when thinking about buying a brand new car. I would hang on personally, but each to their own.

personally i wouldn't be buying a new S3 now with the new model A3 around the corner. Why not look at a run about until the new S3 arrives?

Yeah Wab's analysis is a good one. Have you thought about buying used approved Wab? Worked for me, 2 year old car in mint knick for half the sticker price.

Yup, don't really want the hassle of AT to be honest.

i True mate. Very few people who can directly compare pre and post facelift models of the S3 and like you say, all those small difference add up. Alot of it is about "perceived" quality, and if your perception is that quality has gone down then clearly Audi have managed to drop the ball...
