After a great 4.5 years in my S4 (about 15k per year) it is time for a new car. Prices are so silly that my choices are limited and I need to stay with Audi to extend my current lease.
After much deliberation I am going for an S3, Sedan. Mythos, Vorsprung, red calipers. I am really hoping all the toys and active suspension will be a good compensation for the loss of size and ride quality of the S4. I don't think real world performance will be much different. I do a lot of motorway miles and am really looking forward to the active cruise and heads-up, not options I currently have.
I am also going for the Dinamica microfibre/mono.pur 550 artificial leather combination seats in black. This was a shock to me as my default would have been full leather but from both look and comfort the inserts seem great to me. Does anyone have any experience with this interior?
I am also hoping I will re-kindle my love for a smaller car. I used to run a E46 M330i saloon and loved that car, I suspect the S3 8Y is not far off size wise. I grew up on Scirocco's and Golfs.
Although the 5 door would be more practical I just find the sedan more 'grown up' looking. I see not much love for Mythos. My first choice would be Daytona but that would be the same as my S4 and I need a change.
Fingers crossed that the electrical gremlins are well out of the mix in another 6 months (or however long the new car takes).
Any thoughts or opinions welcome.
About 6 months left to spank the S4.
