Test drove an S3
Hi all new member here.
Test drove a 2017 s3 few days ago. Been looking for a 3rd car for us. Need awd, great handling, performance, etc. The s3 knocked my socks off. A four banger at 292hp? Wow what a fun car to drive. Any regrets from you s3 drivers? This would be My first audi and looking for advice from you seasoned Drivers |
Go for it! You will not regret it. One of the most fun to drive cars I've ever owned. I enjoy it more than my previous '14 S4 FWIW. No regrets whatsoever.

I have a 2017 S3 and have owned lots of cars over the years, mainly Mercedes AMG's, a Corvette and a 911. Most of the AMG's and the 911 were in a different price category then the S3. Currently in addition to the S3 my garage has a 2016 S6 and 2017 RAM 1500. S3 is the best car I've ever owned. It's like 2 cars in one. A great docile daily commuter in comfort mode and a very capable sports car in Dynamic mode. Since getting my S3 the S6 has not been driven much. I'm not saying the S3 is better then the cars mentioned just saying I enjoy it more and love having 3 cars for the price of an AMG. The S6 is being traded on an RS3 which will be a low millage weekend car that I intend to keep a long time and daily commuting will be divided between the RAM and S3.

Power and handling, and a helluva rally car for me to rip around. So far its the only Car besides the bmw m240 that really got me impressed. |

If you are an Audi Club member you will get 6% off MSRP. Otherwise it's up to your negotiation skills.

I just picked up an S3 after debating other audi cars (RS3/S4). I would say the S3 is the best value for your buck for a luxury sports sedan with the right little bit of everything.
Highly recommend it! |
I just picked up a new 2017 s3 with all the options. Red calipers, 19 inch wheels and the blackout package. Man this car is SOOOOOO much fun to drive. Every time i look at the car in my garage i cant wait to drive it again. There are some weird little bugs that i am experiencing with my vehicle. The Apple Carplay is a little buggy and some other things that i cant seem to explain.
