As long as it doesn't have black roof rails it doesn't matter really on colour . ..
I'm joking.. I like the rails

Tell you what I did see the other day and thought looked nice in the flesh!....(out to see if it's still on the camera), yes it is
Slowed it down so you can see Q2 Edition 1:
Only seen pictures before and it was a bit !!!, but it does look good when you see it:

They do stand out, especially in Ara!
Black edition q3s are nice too
Think the Q3 is getting replaced this year isn't it?
I think it's growing on me, I also like the look of the new VW T-roc
Q2 looks nice when in top spec but have seen a few on the road which are awful looking. Yeh to see a T-roc, the interior is a bit shiny looking...Think the Q3 is getting replaced this year isn't it?

T-Roc looks good, had some on display near us. Yeah it's interior is not Audi but then it ain't crap either.
No not at all, from what I’ve seen the dash is colour coordinated with the paint work which is just a bit too much for me.
Think a lot of people are of the same opinion on here. Nothing really out there that people `Want`. I've just renewed my S3 warranty for a year, for this very reason. My car is far from exciting, but as I have no monthly payments to make, it makes sense to keep hold of it for a while.
Not sure what it is for me, scratched my S3 itch and now I’m not all bothered what I get, definitely not taking te step towards an RS3 as do too many miles. A GTD or similar is looking likely for me.
If i was to change the S3 I would have no idea what to go for... the size for me is perfect so anything bigger doesn't make sense to me. RS3 yes of course but don't think I'll ever justify the cost and running costs, if I didn't do 10k+ miles a year then maybe... but still probably no
I like the 3 series BMW but again the size, 1/2 series..meh
Golf, well maybe.. I had a GTD for a day before I bought my A3 but didn't like the ride comfort, wasn't too keen on the interior either. Though it has probably changed anyway since then.
Mercs.. nah ..
Fords .. not a fan of the interior, looks too cheap / chavvy generally for my taste.

Basically if the interior is your main thing. You'll have to stick with Audi forever. See past that though and the options are plentiful 
I think you would take very bad with the cheap interior of a Focus, even an ST, after your S3. That would be a deal breaker for me I am afraid.
Yup.. same for me. When driving you are inside the car after all, hands on wheel etc. it has to be a nice place to be...
Jassy doesn't move his car from the driveway though so does it matter

Harsh, funny but harsh
Couldn’t agree more. I am far from bored with my S3 as I have only had it for 5 months. I like the shape of the 3 door and in a perfect world the boot and rear space would be a little bit more but I rarely have more than one passenger and the boot is only full about twice a year. It goes well in town, good size, easy to park and through traffic and also is very comfortable and quick on the motorway. So, for me it is a brilliant daily and I have no idea what I will be going for next but thankfully that is some time away. Could do with a bigger fuel tank though!If i was to change the S3 I would have no idea what to go for... the size for me is perfect so anything bigger doesn't make sense to me.

Sounds like a lot of us in the same boat.
I would usually by now be actively looking ready to order in July / Aug for delivery March next year.
But nothing floating my boat ... & comfortable with the car I’m in.
My No.1 contender atm is a new platform S3 whenever they come out. As others have said, the S3 / RS3 is a perfect size for me too & very practical with it

Yeah it'll be all the end of the line, high spec q3s I've been seeing, 20"s and the lotThink the Q3 is getting replaced this year isn't it?

Personally having gone for a Tiguan, I'm now in that position of wanting to stay with the higher seating position. The only problem there is that the SUV type cars cost more than there normal equivalents. Thrown in the new cars coming with a slightly increased price tag, it's a lose lose situation 
Loads out there mate, the new Volvo XC40 is also very nice as is the Mazda Cx5 and the Jag E-pace!Personally having gone for a Tiguan, I'm now in that position of wanting to stay with the higher seating position.

Me too....With the exception of a mid life crisis Porsche I am struggling to think anything beyond sticking with my current S3, first time I have contemplated keeping a car for more 15-18 months for the last 4-5 cars
Have looked at the XC60 too. Always considered the 40 as the next size down. ~Maybe the Tiguan R should that arrive or if the budget stretches then I'd be quite partial to the new X3 M40i (If that's the correct name). Mind you, think I've got 2 years or so to run yet. Shame how the planning starts straight away
Just Bicycle change every year til ye see some car ye fancy......should keep ye occupied in the meantime lol

X3 M340i HAVE YOU SEEN THE PRICE OF THESE....**** me.....big heavy car,sound ****** awesome,look classy and the interior is class,the dashboard is straight out of the new 5 series.....too large a car for me but the new X2 is far the better looking car especially in Misano Blue with 20"s on it classy car indeed,Audi have there work cut out with new Q3.....but again it'll look so ****** boring l bet,with fake exhausts embedded into the rear bumper to save costs and by doing so they only need to design and build one plastic bumper for the full range...just look at the new Q5
did see a youtube review on the X3 M40, the guy thought it was the mutts nuts. X2 looks nice but with the lower seating position, I can't really see where it fits in.
Yup.. same for me. When driving you are inside the car after all, hands on wheel etc. it has to be a nice place to be...

l had a Focus ST3 before my 2 Audis mate,it would'nt bother at all planking my **** in the seat of one again albeit the new version for far less money
Yeah Joe Achilles had that fully loaded demo in his video....but that car was £54k....but l would have it all day long before a SQ5
I have driven the X2 Its driving position is much like driving a BMW Coupe because of its low driving position,good looking car and it will sell solely because of its looks,now l think somebody mentioned the Jag E-pace....in a post...lol the slowest heaviest SUV ever made its as heavy as a F Pace...... cant understand why it nearly weighs 2 tonnes
Think the Q3 is getting replaced this year isn't it?
I think it's growing on me, I also like the look of the new VW T-roc
Yuk.....too Skoda like
Give me some of those recaros any day.
Think the base price is the same. Yes, I've looked and driven the SQ5. A bit Meh really. Theres an older 15 plate near us, looks more purposeful than these new ones.
Your car won't depreciatiate much more over the next year, so it makes sense to hold on to it
I know the X2 won’t be eveybodies taste but I think these look really good in the M sport kit, looks like they are reasonably ish priced as well.
The fake exhausts look dreadful, it’s even the same for the SQ5 I think.

That’s very nice, the back could be a bit more aggressive but really like the front.
