How are you finding the ride quality of the s3 compared to the old one? I'm still to decide whether to spec magnetic ride for a softer/firmer option setup but curious to hear if people are finding the new s3 compliant or otherwise on uk roads with the standard setup....
Not sure on the comparison. I've been driving a TT for 3 yrs with magnetic ride and I am a fan of it. There is a big difference between "comfort" and "sport" settings. If the new S3 with standard setup was comparable to the TT on "sport" mode, I would definitely spec it again, as "sport" mode around town is way too firm IMO.

Don't want it until march bob. Got to get our north East Scotland winter out the way first...and I think deliveries seem to be 6 months now too on all orders placed.....new registration for me
If you are from NE Scotland you should know that March never signifies the end of winter.
This year we had snow and salty roads through to May ,so suggest you maybe wait until June...........
very true craig, but I want the Spring new registration and am happy to run my current daily driver through the thick of winter as I have winter wheels and tyres for my current car.
also, as the deliveries are circa 6 months, it's sensible to go for 1st march. if it becomes april, i'm not too bothered.........
i will be on the hunt for winter tyres for my new S3, 225/40/18 aren't they ?
all the best.
