Best type of holidays. Mrs also 50 this year we're doing the new Sandals on Barbados
Was with TUI and stayed in a RUI Palace hotel. TUi seemed to have stepped their game up. Hotel was excellent, really good food and the Jamaican people are so welcoming.
Cheers pal
We were quite lucky in Jamaica, clear sky every day until about 2pm then a thunder showe to clear the air.

Apologies
There's only so much you can post about, on a set of alloys and 8 bhp less or so called less bhp anyways them photos @q5man posted are far better looking than any Audi lol...thought this was a MY19 thread, but it's turning into a bl..dy holiday review one...time to get back on track me thinks..lol!!

Bit more information on MY19 models. Its know it's a Golf R, but they use the same engine.

And a bit on the Leon Cupra losing some power too. Though not in the ST with 4drive. Make of that what you will.

Echoing the individual/exclusive idea for my next car too. Tempted to change for the M2 CP next year at some point

Yes current ones are 18", i'm not quite sure which of the BE models will get the 19" as standard or will all BE models will get them.
I’ll be a bit disappointed if the S3 BE sportback gets them!

You got one the money printers stashed away in yer loft.... Lol
310 or 300 makes no real difference except for those who like peeking at the guy in the next urinal
In the real world where no one needs more than about 180bhp IMHO but everyone chases bigger is better its quiet refreshing to see Audi bucking the trend
I'm surprised no one commented, no one needs more than 180bhp, we are discussing S3s not Toyota Camrys !
In Australia, we have have always had the reduced hp version, mine is a 210kw My15, the My14 was 206kw, while the EU version was 220kw, either our poor petrol quality or being a hot climate was always blamed.
The answer would be in reducing the CO2 emissions, other car manufacturers such as Renault are also reducing engine size, for example the RS Meganes came with a 2 litre motor, and the new RS just released has a 1.8l motor (206Kw)
I believe the EU does have targets for reducing CO2 emissions by 2021, which means reduced fuel consumption levels. I fear the aim is to eventually have us drive electric cars which make no noise and will engender no passion - then again Audi are good at engineering the passion out of their cars.
There was a show called Dream Car Garage, where the host after testing a car would ask 'do we need a car like this and do we want a car like this."
If keep telling Audi we don't need 300 hp hatchbacks, they'll stop making them - after a recent 500km round trip for work in a 2017 model RAV4, I've never appreciated my S3 as much.
The lower octane reason has been around for a while but nearly all petrol stations have had 98 and 95 ron petrol for more than decade now, but when pushed on the issue of the octane rating, the story then changes to our poor quality fuels. Apparently we all higher sulphur levels in our petrol when compared to EU standards, and our diesel is even worse.
As for our high temperatures, yes it can get hot, but then Sydney is really no hotter than countries like Italy, and cities like Melbourne are marginally cooler.

I’ve picked up my new s3 2 weeks ago and was told it’s only 300ps, I very nearly cancelled the order before signing the dotted line thinking about going for the 140i but after looking into it, performance figures remained the same and an increase in torque meant you’re getting the same out of the new model as the previous, glad I went ahead with it as what a machine it is!

Currently bumbling around in a MY19 Q3 with the 35 TFSi 150PS engine and FWD. For everyday use, it's fine, but feels gutless when you need to get a shift on. I think the 190PS version of the same engine (40 TFSi) would be much better.
Hi,what is the torque increase.thought it was still 400 nm.on Audi configuration they put 480nm for the s3 which is wrong as this figure relates to rs3
Sooo we're also talking about a decrease in torque from 400Nm to 370Nm it seems?
That's what they say. I'm waiting for delivery any day now, so we'll see. There's another S3 (of the MY2018, 310hp/400Nm variety) at the parking lot at work, and we're planning on a full comparison, the owner is a really nice guy

Seems the wing alloys are going to become more rare! glad I grabbed a set last week!

I so nearly spec’d the wing arms...but told myself I had to draw the line somewhere!
Couldn’t believe it when I found out mine is now coming with them as standard!
Just looked at some brand new R’s on autotrader and all seem to be quoting the 306bhp/310ps engine whilst the S3 is 296bhp, I assumed they’d be the same.
Really like the look of the facelift R.
