Best Bang for Buck

I purchased the Audi s3 Prestige a few months back. I came from a 2013 Mercedes c350 and cannot say enough about the difference. The s3 has been so much better in just about every regard. The steerings tighter, it sounds better, at high speeds it doesn't rattle, the interior is much higher quality, and just all around Audi adapted to the newer tech so much quicker. My car even has Apple Carplay, and an amazing digital speedometer with a high refresh rate, that still (7 years later), continues to outperform most mainstream tech in the lower-end brands. All in all, it's been an amazing vehicle and would highly recommend.

This is a high quality German engineered rocketship that other people see as a small sexy sedan. It’s more powerful and fun to drive then my 2001 911. Kicks a Jeep SRT’s ass, like it’s standing still. Can be driven conservitly as well. I would by this car again and again.

This is a fun, practical, fast sporty and good liking vehicle. Always thrilled to drive it. Totally engaging and the best possible sedan for a driver anywhere near this price range.
