I might be after a nice mint, low (pref. sub 80k) mileage S3 in a couple of weeks time, would want a facelift car (2001/2002) with 18 inch wheels, silver mirrors and prefer black, red or Nogaro. Remap and suspension/brake mods OK. How much should I be looking at? Some of the dealer prices on...

Has anyone here gone from owning an 8L S3 to either a petrol 2.0T or 3.2 quattro A3? Be interested to hear your opinions on how they all compare. I've test driven various cars such as the new S3 and R32 Mk5 - love both of them but budget is likely to be 10k max (Parkers reckon a 55 reg 2.0T Q...

Article in the Feb issue of Performance Tuner http://www.performancetuner.co.uk/mepasite/143/Latest_Issue.aspx A ring laptime of 8 min 20s is not too shabby. Running "between 280-300bhp". KW clubsport coilovers, movit brakes etc..

Looking at used prices the 3.2 isn't that much more than the previous shape S3. Which is the better car? Or will I get two different answers depending on whether I ask this in the 8L or 8P forums ;) Budget is 10-15k tops, after which the M3 starts to look like the obvious choice.

Has anyone driven both of these particular cars, if so in your opinion how do they stack up in terms of performance, handling, braking, steering etc? For the record I've only tried a 328Ci before (OK but a bit disappointing), and the A3 3.2 I tried was a DSG Sportback which I hated. I've...

How do you rate the car? For any of you that had an S3, or at least have driven an S3, how do you compare the chassis and steering feel/feedback etc. is the newer car noticeably better?

What are my options? Found somewhere I can get a Kamei one from for about £88 - can anyone beat this price? Saw one on an A3 at the Ring and it looked quite good. However its a debadged grille so I'd need a stick on Audi 4-ring badge as I don't like the badgeless look. Anyone got any part...

Just to confirm no horror stories from these so far. The ride quality is indeed absolutely no worse than standard, yet the car is subtly lowered and body roll is drastically reduced. As a result cornering grip is noticably improved and the steering is marginally better as well due to the...

Don't really want to go to the cost and hassle of uprating the suspension just yet, even though I know it would make a world of difference to the handling. The standard T Sport may roll and lurch a little too much for my taste but it tackles the terribly surfaced roads of Surrey much better...

Just to say the willpower to keep my chipped A3 T Sport looking totally bog standard all but evaporated once I clapped eyes on this baby. Oettinger Front End They do side and rear skirts as well but I'm just having the front grille and spoiler. Its a nice almost 'factory' look with a hint of...

Has anyone in the UK put one of these on an A3 or S3 yet? Just wondered if there were any pics other than whats on their site, or any UK importers.
