Looking to Purchase 2017/2018 S3
Hello everyone! First post on here. Been lurking awhile. In the market for an S3. This will be my first Audi! Looking to pick up either a 17' or 18'. Can someone please tell me the upgrades from 17 to 18 (whether minor or not). Is there anything I should look for in particular? Was planning on a black one but have been seeing different grays. Can someone please clarify the different grays (Nano? Nardo?) Main differences between Premium Plus and Prestige? Anyone selling on here they want to share? haha
Any and all guidance will be greatly appreciated! |
Biggest difference between '17 and '18 is the transmission. '18 got a 7-speed versus the 6-speed on the '17. Been a BMW guy for a long time and this is our first Audi as well and you would not be disappointed with either one you decides to pick up! Happy hunting!

Notice your sig - is "Resonator Delete" a option? I saw a 17's with it but dont think any 18's... |
Resonator Delete is a port installed option. Or you can get that kit from your Audi Dealer. However, you can get the aftermarket (non-Audi) version for much less.

Does the 17 get CarPlay and AndroidAuto? The 18 does

Yes. I had a 2017 and had apple car play. 17 and 18 identical except as stated above, 6 speed vs 7 speed. I have an RS3 now. The S3 is amazing. Quick, sounds great. I think the resonator delete makes it too loud but personal preference. See mine below

where did you get the carbon fiber?
|
so no other updates? between 17' and 18'? lights, trim pieces? I feel like there are always minor updates year to year...
|
also anyone have a car seat in one of these? how's the backseat with a kid?
