hi forum. Back in September I had a choice to make. Keep my S3 or chop it in after only 15 months for either a RS3 or a TTS. Long story cut very short...I went with the TTS as it looked much better, handled amazing and wasn't just another hatchback with identical interior as what I had been...

Well then guys (and girls) I've been in my brand new Estoril Blue S-Tronic 3dr Hatch for coming up to18 months now and whilst it is undoubtably a very rapid car and lovely and swish etc etc, i'm afraid like may have said before it is just missing that something to make me feel special when...

Hi all, So been in my new 8v S3 for 13 months now and whilst it does everything that I ask of it and is a dream to drive, I now have the urge for a change as I'm sure there is something else out there that will offer me more for the same monthly payments. I think the main reasons are the looks...

Hi all, Really struggling with what new wheels to stick on my S3. Car came with S-Line silver wheels which are ok but i am bored of them. Wanted standard S3 wheels but they are like rocking horse **** to buy second hand and at a decent price. Torn between BBS SR in grey and some MSW wheels (bit...

Hi all I have had this "issue" for ages now and the dealers couldn't find any faults. When I come to a stop in the S-tronic the revs drop to around 600, you can feel a slight judder and then they pick up to around 850 and then it just idles smoothly. You almost get the sensation that the car is...

Just decided.....I want an S3 convertible!!!! There is a White one doing the rounds in March area, Cambridgeshire...anyone's on here? It looks stunning. Shame they are like £40k basic list price, can't see why they are nearly 10k more than the hatchback, complete rip off if you ask me

Hi guys, so had my S3 hatchback for over 6 months now and want to change the twin 5 spoke s line wheels. So 3 options: Try and get hold of the standard S3 wheels second hand Get a decent set of aftermarket 18" Get a decent set of aftermarket 19" I think the 19" would look great, but what affect...

Hi all, Does anyone actually drive their S3 stronic in S mode for any length of time? The MPG must be horrendous and I doubt it gets out of 3rd gear! As others have mentioned, i think it needs a mode between D and S. D is like a standard auto with very little "pull" for a car with 300bhp...

Hi guys Had my S3 since May and thought it was about time i posted pics. I know there have been plenty of Estoril Blue pics in the past and my photos taken today with my phone are not great, but i still fancied showing them after I spent a couple of hours washing 2 weeks worth of dirt from he...

Hi, Know its a bit late now, but as I am 6ft 2" is there enough adjustment on the standard S3 seats to enable me to get low and comfy in the 3 door. Not concerned about the space behind me...does the seat go far back? Used to my TT where I had the seat nearly all back to accommodate my long legs...
