how many s3 seen?

[Forbzeeee]

Quite a few ... I do commute around the M25 and work by Heathrow.
Two I see quite regularly one misano and another black. Both have S3*** number plates.

I see these two as well.
If you want to see lots of S3's just head to Milton Keynes... The VW head office is up there and lots of employees have them.

Spotters everywhere!!!!! at least its not just me looking out for S3's. Shame as there's usually 6-7 parked in the work car park and then on my walk between premises I see atleast another 5 that's when you know your in Aberdeen.
It would be nice to go home and get away from them but there's one belonging to the flat above and another 3 parked in the next street.

So on journey home today from Tonbridge (135 miles) I saw:-

- 3 x Sepang SB's on a delivery lorry, M25 junction for Gatwick (sorry steeve - even more soon to be on the road)
!

any with privacy glass might be mine on the way to Guildford?

 

[SJC]

I just counted 17 on Aberdeen Facebook page since start of month. With variety of hatchbacks, sportbacks and saloons. The dealers must love it. But it's not much use if you want to book a service.

Yeah, common as muck up here. Saw 2 sepang sbs on queens road last night, another sepang sb turning into cove on way home today and a sepang s1 hb on lang stracht at lunch time. I realise sepang isn't an exclusive colour anymore but they seem to outnumber all other colours combined. I feel way more rare in my free red

Si.

 

[lee_fr200]

I've seen a white 3dr s3

And a black sport back

 

[S32B]

Since ordering in October I've only seen one 3 door in black, which is what I've ordered!

And how sad is this?...don't tell me I'm the only one lol

I must be the only man in Aberdeen who doesn't see Sepang S3's everywhere I go!!

Bar my own the first one I saw was last week in Cove it was a SB with black pack. Chap is on here but I can't remember who it is
Only ones I can remember seeing are the Sepang one above. The Magma orange HB. Theres a black SB in Kincorth I walked past when I was on the way to pick mines up and thats about it.
S3 8P's on the other hand are every other ****** car lol

 

[Psyman79]

Yeah, saw an orange hb at Westhill service station when i was on my test drive. The Dooker lives 2 doors down from me so see his everyday (ice silver hb).

Si

 

[wideboybloke]

Saw a blue (not sepang, but never seen it before) one in Fleet, Hants just before Christmas. It was parked in a street I was walking along and it was only when I saw the S3 badge on the radiator grille that I realised what I was looking at. Then I crawled through Wandsworth last week behind/in front of/beside a black one as we swapped positions at each successive set of traffic lights. I wouldn't go for black as it's a pain to keep clean, but this was truly a beautiful car. The blue one looked insipid by comparison.

 

[Psyman79]

Yet another sepang sb, this time with 10 spokes, turning onto Market Street.

 

[steeve]

Saw a very nice looking yellow one in Ashby de la Zouch this morning.

 

[S32B]

Saw a very nice looking yellow one in Ashby de la Zouch this morning.

lol years back I worked in a warehouse and one of the girls asked the driver "Where have you just come from?", he replied 'Ashby de la Zouch', to which she replied "What, you've come all the way from France" I still remember it 24 years on

 

[glospete]

My wife couldn't stop laughing when I told her about your experience with the girl and Ashby de la Zouch. Thanks for making our day!

Glad to share, makes me smile every time I hear the place mentioned....It's a classic

 

[HawkeyeS3]

Had my S3 almost a year now, and only occassionally see another (except on car transporters)

 

[TonyF1]

In the six months I've been S3 spotting, three.

2 SB
1 Saloon (first one I've ever seen being driven) last weekend in Tetbury

If it was Sepang Blue that was me on a test driver. I have a DG Hatch arriving in a couple of weeks and found this thread as I've never seen an S3 on the road and was wondering on sales figures. Small world.

 

[Jassyo06]

I am seeing a lot more than l used to do,they should get a bit more popular, will all the good discounts available now

 

[OliS3]

I've seen a clone of my own car so nothing will top that

 

[Soulboy]

When I first got mine (Jan 2014) I hardly ever used to see any, as it was a new model.

But they are more common nowadays and I see quite a lot (S Manchester/Cheshire area)

 

[pburv]

Only A3 saloon closest to my S3 where I live is a white S line driving instructor's car....

 

[MattB1989]

Never seen one round my way (Rayleigh/Hockley), only seen one on the M25.

Did see a black RS3 parked in Southend today though

 

[Simon L]

Started looking at S3's about a year ago and seen about half dozen on the road since then.....................only 2 of which were saloons!!

 

[Eigdoog]

Not been counting or talking notes but i have seen quite a few. Before i got my RS3 i was in the van (waiting for the day) and saw 3 S3's on the same bit of road! It was only about a mile long this road. Since having the RS3 though I've not seen 1

 

[Simonb1975]

Common as muck here (Northants) all sportvans and saloons, don't recall any 3drs. All standard colours, nothing fancy. Always seem to be driving about 20 below the speed limit for some reason.

 

[RO65ERS]

i got the s3, because i hadn't seen another in Plymouth.

I've had it 6 months and after the 2nd week i see an 8v every day!
4 or 5 SB
3 HB
0 saloon yet!

 

[Snibo]

"How many S3 seen ?"

Absolute Loads - come to Wales.
It appears to be the new Chav vehicle of choice !!

 

[Code]

As has been mentioned, there are plenty around Aberdeen. I feel like I see more than regular A3s, but that could be just because they catch the eye a little more.

I remember seeing a Sepang late last year on Crown Street which had had a run in with a lorry, looked like a write off. 65 plate too Hope it didn't belong to anyone here!

 

[Martinbanshee]

Yeah, I see quite a few S3 Hatch/Sportbacks everyday up here, luckily the S3 Saloon still isn't too common yet.
