    Audi S3 PFL vs Mercedes A35 AMG

    Shame, amazing that whilst car prices keep going up dealers expect us to lower expectations :blink: Any plans for what's next?

    S3 sold, time to move on....

    Thanks all @JonW - i was going to put it on Tootle but when i first put ad up it wasn't accepting new cars due to "technical difficulties" and then a few days later the website disappeared. Seems they have folded unfortunately. So i advertised on the following: Wizzle - similar to Tootle but...

    S3 sold, time to move on....

    So my S3 went yesterday, a dealer from Doncaster came to collect her. Sad to see her go but I had an offer on a new 69 plate M5 for September that I just could not refuse. Was always a tough ask to follow the M3 but the S3 certainly grew on me, so nimble and effortless pace. The car was very...

    s3 decision

    Of the list i would say F80 M3, but everyone is different. As mentioned above it would be better to try and summarise what you want from the car a bit more for people to advise (4 doors needed? miles per year? main use of car? etc) But having owned an F80 M3 CP before the current S3, it would...

    2 months of ownership and 1200 miles later...

    Haven't been around for a while due to a never ending list of stuff to do in the new house and busy in work, so recently realised I never did do a proper write up on my thoughts of the S3 compared to my F80 M3 CP now that i'd done over 1k miles in 2 months. Firstly my S3 ownership hasn't been...

    yourAudi - Track New Car Order

    Try contacting Audi UK on Facebook, send them a FB message asking for an update on your order. Given them the order number and they should be able to provide a status. If they cant i would personally be going to the dealer to ask about progress.
