Thought I'd update this 18 months in. Giving the S3 back in a week, as my Model 3 Performance is arriving. I DID learn to love the car in the end. So many things about it that I like, I'll consider it one of the greats as far as my previous ownerships go. Lots to dislike, too, but ultimately...

hi there My S3 apparently comes with three years WiFi, but after registering the MMI, I am then directed to purchase a plan. How do I activate my three year internet plan? Also, is there a way to get controls active on the Audi app? I can’t lock or unlock my car or find an option to do it from...

Right, thanks everyone. I've got all the info I needed, time to go away and make a decision. A couple of defensive Kevs have alerted me to the fact that I've spent enough time here. I have a feeling things are going to go downhill from this point. Thank you to everyone who offered their...

Cool story bro

You're still missing the part where the car is not a total failure. It ticks enough boxes for me to want it, and to justify the money, I just expected to "love" it, and I didn't. So I'm on here asking if people's opinions of it have changed over time. It's really not that controversial.

I'm just thinking about what you've said here, and I do actually only care about straight line speed far more than cornering ability. I live in the middle of London, so it's not like I ever encounter a B-Road. Most of my high speed driving is done whilst trying to overtake Uber drivers. I don't...

Thanks for the offer man, I'm all the way up in Kensington, though. That's another weird thing about this car, too, I haven't seen a single one where I am. Not one. Never seen one drive past, parked up, etc. That's a pretty large factor for me, too, they aren't particularly common, which is a plus.

No such thing as "nuance" for Dave.

I'll forgive you for being blunt, but I'll also forgive you for apparently not being able to read the part of the post where I flat-out admit that the comparison is hardly fair. Unfortunately, I can only go on the information I have available, hence why I'm on here trying to get more. Does that...

38, didn't even get to asking me my age. Literally just flat out stated that it was a policy across the whole of the Sytner Group. That's whenn I contacted the Guildford branch, and they stated the same. I'll try the Oxford branch like the guy above.

Do you know anywhere in the south east that allows a long test drive? I phoned seven or eight dealerships and none of them did anything except accompanies tests. I even complained about it on the Audi Facebook page and they said it was because of insurance purposes. I'm considering a Porsche...

God you're right, the screen in Mercs might as well be floating in mid air.

I wouldn't buy a car I "hated" either. I'm not sure where you got that from my post, because I certainly didn't say anything close. If you're going to tacitly insult me, at least do it based on facts.

It's a lease car, and it's going back - I don't have the choice to keep it, nor do I want it. the S3 is thecar in my price range (400 a month) that ticks the most boxes - hence my question. Sorry if that appears "dumb" to you. It doesn't strike me as particularly dumb to wonder if a car will...

Sorry, should've elaborated. I don't think it's like a Renault because of he build quality or materials, just in the sense that it's very cramped, and because of the hidden screen, very spartan on the dashboard, too. As I said earlier, completely agree in regards to the BMW. However, I...
