    Was anyone unimpressed wit their S3, but then grew to love it?

    Doesn't sound like you played around with it much. Unless you got mag ride, there's not much difference between comfort mode and dynamic mode, and if you did have mag ride, you can always play around with the settings in Individual mode to get it how you like it. I drive all the time in dynamic...

    Was anyone unimpressed wit their S3, but then grew to love it?

    I did expect more when I first bought it then grew to like it then got bored of it. I do feel like it lacks character. When I got my RS3, I did appreciate the S3 more than when I had it because it does some things very well, if you take out exhaust noise, it feels like a better car to drive in...

    Facelift S3 holds its own.

    I haven't seen an A35 on the road yet but I've seen A200d and some other regular ones (I've only seen white ones for some reason) and they don't look good from the rear, at least from my perspective driving behind them. It's hard to explain but its like the rear bumper is too big/tall.

    Facelift S3 holds its own.

    Well the A35 also launched a bit earlier than the S3. I'm pretty sure people have dyno'd cars before and after res delete and it hasn't changed performance. It still was a 0.3 second quarter mile lead, more than what the A35 had over the M140i which was only 0.1 seconds behind it. There's also...

    Facelift S3 holds its own.

    Expected for me, I knew the A35 wouldn't win. At least merc have improved their launch control/4wd system from the old A45. The PFL A45 lost to the FL S3 in drag races. The A35 lost the rolling race quite badly too, with it being the newest car there and already being behind, it's not looking...

    Facelift One side mirror not heating up

    No I never checked the fuse. I wanted to see if there was a quick fix because its just a minor annoyance to me. Weather has warmed up now so hasn't bothered me today. Yeah I literally just left it on since last winter. I never need to change any of mirror settings/angles and have never had to...

    Facelift One side mirror not heating up

    I noticed recently with the cold weather that my passenger side side mirror isn't heating up. It stays fogged up so you have to wipe it whereas the driver side one cleans the fog. I checked earlier today by touching the glass and the driver side one was warm but the passenger side one was cold...

    S3 Part Exchange - Replacement Tyres

    Ok so don't get any new tyres? I just remember when I got the S3, they checked how much tread was on each tyre of my old A3 but they were all over 5mm so they were happy. I know that car went for auction anyway. I have positive equity on the P/X values I was given but I'll check out other...

    S3 Part Exchange - Replacement Tyres

    Hey guys, I'm going to P/X my S3 for an RS3 Saloon. Its 2 years old now and just got the second service done. They said my tyres were at 2.5mm, 3mm, 3mm and 3.5mm, and that I should replace the 2.5mm tyre but the 3mm ones will need to be replaced soon too. Wanted to charge £150 for a new tyre...

    B&O with and without tech pack

    For me, I went there and told them about the problem then they booked my car in for the whole day. When I dropped it off, I told them the issue and that there was a microSD card or USB they had to order for the update and I even had the part number with me. The master tech was listening too but...

    B&O with and without tech pack

    Haha deja vu for me. I heard the exact same thing and I have B&O. That was a year ago though but I wouldn't be surprised to hear this from most Audi dealers.

    B&O with and without tech pack

    Yeah I did that last year, told them about subwoofer and sound settings resetting, they booked me in and I told them again on the day, even told them about the update being from an SD card with the part number and showed them the video from Tom.H from page 3. They ignored it though, kept the car...

    I'm on 0679 too so that's good news if there's an update to 1168. What did you say to them to get them to update it?

    But from the side, way less aggressive than the A3/S3.

    Facelift Post Pics Of Your Facelift A3/S3 8V In Here

    I'm actually seeing more and more S3's now and less Golf Rs. I see at least 1 S3 other than mine on the road pretty much everyday. Its 60% sportback and 40% saloon. Golf R's I see less often and Golf GTIs are quite rare, especially PFL ones. RS3 I'd usually see this 1 PFL one often but I think...

    I was pretty close to getting a new leon cupra before the S3 myself, mainly because of the massive discounts Seat give. Turns into a £23k car if I remember correctly.

    Fair enough, it doesn't look like its popular with any RS3 owners on this forum either though. Plus it doesn't even sound better. Listen to it here:

    I say this everytime I see an ABT RS3 and RS4/5, why would they put 4 exhausts on it? Stick with the twin oval pipes that indicate that its an RS car. 4 exhausts will make it look like a modded S3.
