When I first saw Photos of the New S3 Saloon & then saw one at an Audi Dealership, when it was initially Released, I thought it looked great, but to be honest, I never had any Intensions of Buying one, as I had an RS4 B8 Avant at the time!
Unfortunately, my Circumstances changed, as my RS4 B8 was Stolen, making me have abit of a Re-think & look at slightly smaller Cars that could just squeeze into my Garage........another reason why I opted for an S3 Saloon over the S4 Avant!
My S3 Saloon is in Monsoon Grey & I have to say that I'm very happy with it. It doesn't really feel much Slower than the RS4, it has a Sporty Presence on the road, its half the Roadtax of the RS4, noticeably better on Fuel & it can be locked away!
The Engine obviously doesn't give me the Buzz of the V8, but its still fun to Drive. If it had the 5Cyl Engine, it would have been the Ultimate Car to me though!
My RS4 had great Interior, but everytime I see one now, it surprisingly looks abit Dated to the Interior/Dash on the New S3!!
Audi always cleverly do this though!
