After 18 months of S3 ownership...

I waited for the motor to be fully broken in before I measured its performance, but after 18 months of ownership I can honestly say this S3 looks very “nice” but doesn’t have the acceleration (or reliability) I was hoping for. As well, the magnetic ride is a farce, I get a “banging” noise on the rear passenger sides strut, which bother my passengers as well as me. The dealership says “they don’t hear anything, and this noise is normal” but other forum posters say it’s not normal, as they are in the same predicament... Looks like I should have accepted the legal route after all. I think I’m going have to look at a Lexus for my next purchase. Well, had the car for four years now, after Audi fixed the rear shocks the noise subsided. Happy to say there have been no further problems. Mileage is about 27Mpg at 75MPH. It would be greater if it had an extra gear (which the 2018s and above have), but I didn’t buy it for mileage. Still a fast and fun car and I can get another 75hp out of the motor with minimum modifications.

After looking at various websites including Edmumds.com and using their buying service. I received a great deal on a 2016 Audi S3. The car is very well optioned and is a lot of fun to drive. It is very quick, brakes superbly and very fun to drive. The car has a fantastic audio system, Bang and Olephson. I would highly recommend this vehicle.
