I wondered if it was just me but the new S3 grill and badge looks very KIA I did look at a new one with a view to changing but where has the Flat bottom wheel , the satin chrome paddles, the satin chrome gear stick surround ( or the gears stick for that matter) gone coupled with the £2k road tax and the fact that no one would take my S3 in PX...not to mention a £2.5k surcharge if i wanted to pay cash ? I will keep plugging away with the 8p
the biggest plus for me is the 8p is 2 door and easier to get in and out as i become more decrepit with age, now i am an OAP

dont even mention ADAS

Runs nice for an 15 yo.
Still rocking the s3 8p facelift 17 years later.
