So my current S3 has its 4th birthday later this year and (in a whisper so it doesn't hear) it’s time for a change. Question is what to get. 1) A new S3, assuming that is the S is launched alongside the new A model later this year. 2) An S4 / S5, slight bigger would be good, family growing up...

Last house tree over the drive, birds would watch me cleaning the car call their mates over have a few beers, party like. Then wham **** everywhere as soon as I went back indoors. It was pre-meditated. I tried having a stern word with them, suspected the Robin was the leader. Threatened them...

If there is anyone in Dorset who could help me out activating the MMI display for this would be much appreciated.

Can you update the software? Would like to add the subwoofer control

Was following and then passed by a Grey FL Sportback on the M27 few days back, grey misty late afternoon dusk. Other than the chrome the car was pretty much invisible, in that light the car, road and background were pretty much the same colour kinda blended into one. Great if your into covert...

Nope absolutely fine, good and comfy

Just got mine so perhaps biased, but yes looks great. Came from a MK 7 Golf GTD, that looked kinda aggressive, the S3 is softer than that but still loooks fab. All depends what you are looking for, there are more sporty looking cars, there are better handling cars. The S3 is though perhaps more...

Very nice, more pics tomorrow please

Or here. Mine a FL Sportback doesn't have although the PFL Sportback that was in the showroom when I ordered did. Note the piccy below mentions both 3 door and Sportback. Have sent to the dealer.

Seems important to me to check everything is working ok, would be a shame if after a 1000 miles or so found that some of the revs were still in Germany or that the dial counter thingy stopped at 12 o'clock. Best check it all thoroughly
