My S3 has made it through the snow and it's just arrived at the dealership. Took 7 days from Sheerness. I'm collecting on Thursday :grinning:

I've been status 40 since Friday, I assume the port doesn't operate over the weekend?

Took about 1 week to receive my email from Audi. I tried the order number before I received the email but it didn't work.

In comparison to most I've gone for a small spec; S-tronic, Navarra and Technology Pack - I couldn't go without the Virtual Cockpit after having it in my TT for the past 2 years. The standard S3 comes with everything else I want or need - mainly the engine, quattro, LED lights and 5 doors :)...

I've just done the deal on the S3, so I'll be saying goodbye to my TT in approx 12 weeks time. My TT isn't massively specced: Super Sport Seats - look great, but not very comfy and there are known quality issues with side trim coming apart (make sure you check these). Never tried the standard...

I've just agreed to a deal for a brand new S3. I never found a 190 to test drive and in the end I kept going back to the S3. Just waiting to get a confirmation on the build week, but hoping to collect March or April. I'll miss the TT, but I'm really excited for the extra power and something new...

I'm making the switch from a MK3 230 TT Quattro and potentially going into a new S3 (still working on a deal). The only reason I'm making the switch is because I have a baby on the way so we need the better practicality. Otherwise I'd be keeping the TT, in my opinion the MK3 looks stunning...

Thanks Brum, appreciate the mini review and good to get your perspective considering you've come from a TT too. I'm torn as the A3 sounds like a decent car and I'm sure I'd be happy with the power but maybe I won't enjoy it like the TT. The inner child still wants the pops. I don't want to be...

Thank you for the suggestion, the diesel does have good stats but I prefer the characteristics of a petrol engine so I've not considered it.

Ha ha yeah I don't want to start anything (I've read a posts about stolen S3's), it's something to consider and I've previously had those thoughts about my TT (didn't stop me from buying it though :p )

Ha ha, I'll have to check with the misses first. :p

Thanks Dave, I assume your test drive with quattro was with the 190PS too? MPG sounds similar to what I'm getting now, low 30s when in dynamic but easily get low 40s if I drive sensibly. Hopefully yours will improve over time too. I've got a PCP quote for the A3, I was trying to work out the...

Thank you, that's made it more difficult and given me a lot to consider! I don't mind a graph - I'm already compiling my own cost comparison spreadsheet to bore the wife with later :D Regarding fuel costs and the extra road tax, it's not a lot per year or at each refuel but over the course of...

I was wondering if any current owners could share their experience on 2.0 190ps TFSI engine with quattro. I've found a a handful of old threads but no real mention of their experience with this engine. There's also a lack of reviews online. What's the acceleration like, MPG, drivability, sound...

I had the 1.4 COD for 12 months, I traded it in last week and collected my new TT. The COD was a great engine, I was averaging between 40 and 50 MPG on my 20 mile daily commute - mix of city and A roads. So for me very cheap to run. The performance was good, decent acceleration that gave...

I had a similar incident, but with a bus squeezing past me. It needed respraying and a new alloy and wheel, I saw the estimate given to my insurance - cost over £2500. It was repaired earlier this week and you wouldn't know it had been damaged, looks perfect now.

Sorry to hear what happened to you. A bus scraped against the rear quarter of my A3 2 months ago, it was only 6 months old - I was absolutely gutted. The panel is badly scraped and dented and the rear allow completely ruined, but luckily she's still drivable. The bus driver is protesting...

The engine has far exceeded my expectations. I've done just under 7000 miles and I'm now regularly getting between 50 - 55 MPG on my 38 mile daily commute to and from work. It involves a mix of stop-start city driving and up to 60MPH on country roads with variable traffic and changing speed...

I got over 15% off from my local dealer and a few freebies such as the aluminium pedals. I just showed them my offers from Carwow and they beat the offers.

Yep we've both had this discussion before, but I have the same spec and model as @Muttley75 so it was aimed at him. I've changed my post above :p
