Default New member, new Audi S3

Last night I decided to check out the Audi S3 at Audi of Raliegh. I work at Ft Bragg, so it was a bit of a drive. I loved the car and bought it. John Marble and Anthony the manager provided a great experience. I usually don't have very good experiences at dealerships.

Options are MMI, driver assistance, B&O, grocery hooks, net, first aide kit.

First impressions:
DSG is very good, especially compared to the 06 M5 SMG I used to have.

The main dash trim is a smidge cheap looking compared to the rest of the interior, but otherwise good. Why no flippin homelink?

B&O stereo is redonkulous. MMI is fantastic. The controls just work well for me. I love google maps. Phone integration is very good.

The car is quick. Gas mileage has been pretty good so far. Yesterday I averaged 24mpg over 80 miles of driving.

The ride is firm but excellent. I'm comparing that to several Evos I've owned over the past 10 years. I look forward to see how this does in an autocross event.

Good luck with your car!

I test drove that car too, but mine was already on order.

Amazing car and I can't wait to get mine in.

Enjoy it!

I was aware that a few forum folks had test driven it. The car has been great so far. We just took it back today to get the lifetime simonize wax treatment.

Could you take some more pictures of outside and post them. I am torn between Florett Silver and Monsoon Gray. Would be appreciated.
