Facelift Deposit down on a new S3

[gordie1973]

Hey all,

Update from previous post relating to you guys and your end of lease......

After a very long time away from potentially owning an S3, (thanks to job uncertainty, followed by a couple of kids arriving within 2 years of each other) and having to cancel the order, and getting a big ole A6 bitdi to bus us all around......

I’ve just put down a deposit today for a late 2017 Ara Blue 5dr s tronic Black Edition!!!! Think it’s a base model but not that fussed, as it has the B&O system, and of all the options I had on the A6, I barely used them.

Haven’t even seen the car yet as it’s about 30 miles away in a different dealership here in NI, but they have assured me that it’s in mint condition, and I can have a refund if not 100% to my satisfaction. Hopefully pick it up Tuesday or Wednesday.

Looking forward to finally joining the S3 fold!!!!

Nice choice. I just pretty much did the same. Went from A6 272 family bus to not so big family bus ara blue s3 BE. Wife is getting a bigger car so I could downsize, kinda failed to mention it was 300+ bhp.

I think we may be related.

I told her I was getting a family car for us all (so bought a kodiaq), and said i’d just get a second hand A3 to “run around in for work”

Haven’t mentioned it’s an S3 / 300hp / farty exhaust, just said it’s a “sporty” one.

She’s going to go ape

It’s not that noisy/farty till your foot is buried.
However coming from an A6 everything seems noisier but the b&o makes up for it.
I do miss some of the creature comforts that’s standard on the A6 but think I made the right choice with the s3. Not doing 30k a year now so a little less comfort is acceptable ;-)

Great choice! Basically the car that I have. You won't regret it!

If no one hears from me tomorrow please send police.

Is it Audi Belfast or Portadown? I suppose it could be an independent!

Congrats and enjoy your meal!
