S3 Age and Mileage

[GRE57Y]

So, I'm curious to know how many miles you've all done in your S3's and how long you've had it... What do you make of yours so far in a (S)3 Word Review?

12 Months and 23000 miles as of today

[A3_Rider]

2 months nearly 2000 miles, but on some months it will barely do any.

 

[Longy]

2 months and just 650 km so far, been garaged for 5 weeks due to work commitments.

Was surprised that it still started after that, my previous Subarus would flatten it's battery after around 4 weeks.

 

[Don76]

4 and a half months. 22,800 miles. Not an S3, but A3 Saloon s-line. 3 words.... Tank too small.

 

[Foxtrot_Oscar]

3200 miles in 2 months

Luxury - stealth - speed

Yep im in the same boat. Not driven for weeks alot.

You know when the battery is very flat when the alarm light stops flashing. Give it a 15-20 minute blast out on the road and it seems to charge up again fine

 

[S3LVX]

6 months and 7,000 miles (an extra 1000 in the current courtesy car)

I recommend one of these for when the car isn't in use:

Five months and 2,200 miles. spent more time cleaning it than driving it..................! But hey that's white cars for you.

6 months, 11,000 miles... no major issues to report. Seats took an age to get comfortable in, but I'm there now. Throttle pedal was horrid to begin with, but you soon get used to it. Averaging 33mpg and when I potter from A to B, I get 38 to 40mpg. Performance is excellent and handling very good. Car draws a lot of favourable comments on its stealthy good looks and makes Golf R drivers look twice. LOL! Makes some nice noises too if you keep the flap open... niggles? Well, aside from the way the seats adjust and the fact I can't get the steering wheel low enough, rattling windows. Cured that with some gubbins I bought on line to lubricate the rubber seals. *** is pants, so wish I'd specced B&O, you live and learn I suppose. Oh and the Bluetooth - no one can hear much of what I say on handsfree and I've tried several phones too. So, going back to Audi to get that sorted out. All in all, been a good car so far. Fast, economical and good looking. Kind of sums up the S3 to me.
