Haha it was in eco the whole way home but then as soon as I got off the motorway and it went into dynamic went down to about 33mpg. Still haven't floored it completely yet
Its still increeibly impressive....youll soon learn to use the loud pedal and watch the MPG drop dramtically!! Youll have a very close relationship with shell/bp v soon!!
I've got the facelift 3dr which is a tad boy racer looking, saloon much more classy.

Nice motor and perfect colour buddy. TBH I personally like Saloon and it definitely looks more classy

Saloon was definitely the right decision IMO
@James.B8 - Great looking S3 saloon buddy. Congrats !Hi all,
Been in and out of this forum recently asking for advice on buying a new or used s3.
Finally pulled the trigger and picked up my Mystic Blue S3 Saloon. Super high spec and amazing colour.
From initial photos I saw it looked like Navarra but in real life they're worlds apart. Mystic has a much deeper purple tone to it and some lights it almost looks Merlin Purple. Extremely happy with it and got 37mpg average on the way home.
Photos below. Cheers
More photos to follow.
Loving the colour. Like @jassyo06 has said very much like merlin purple
Thank you @Bristle Hound
Yeah surprising how purple it really is in comparison to the original photos. Love it.
@SPIKE_S1 - Exclusive colours are around £2,000.00I'm in love with this colour! Your car just looks great....enjoy!
Any idea what this would cost as an exclusive colour?
Thanks a lot. Really pleased with it. Wouldn't change it for anything! Hopefully get it detailed soon to give it the love it deserves.

Thanks@James.B8 another fantastic pic. Car stands out against the colours in your garden. It's so vibrant. It's kind of like the gift that just keeps giving. The colour changes like scuba and estoril in different lights.
yeah it's so diverse this colour. Never looks the same in any two pictures.

if not I may try get to a few events this summer
Car had its first proper wash today. Drying towel needs replacing so tried not to use it too much so there's a few drips and runs
Really comes to life in the sun. Need to use my old DSLR to get a good photo of it but haven't got round to it yet. iPhone really doesn't do this car justice.

Just came straight from a night shift to drop the car off at the detailer. Goodbye money
Looking forward to seeing the results. In for 3 days. Having it machined, ceramic coated, wheels and exhausts coated too and glass coated.
Finally get a better look at that Mystic Blurple paintsaw a lovely RS6 on instagram in Mystic the other day and what a lovely looking thing that was
After living with the car for a few months and giving it the beans on some lovely twisty open roads I've decided the suspension is a bit poo so maybe have to look at lowering springs in the future. Car looks quite high with the 19s and magride as well so a nice drop would look good

Looking forward to seeing the end product mate, should be a bit special also add spacers whilst you are getting it lowered
Yeah will just need some sunshine then to see it sparkle
Yeah defo needs some spacers on it.

It sounds like it will be money well spent. Really looking forward to seeing the results! Don't forget.....plenty of pics
I do hope so! Yeah of course, i asked the guy to take some progress shots and before and afterIt sounds like it will be money well spent. Really looking forward to seeing the results! Don't forget.....plenty of pics
Will stick the photos up the detailer took later. Looks very similar (if not identical) to Navarra in this artificial lighting.
Still a few imperfections in the paint work but i didn't opt for the full correction as it was already £750 as it was
Exhaust tips came up lovely
Did they rectify any stone chips mateView attachment 133179 Here she is...

To be honest there wasn't really any to correct. There was one by the wheel arch which they smoothed out I think
Haha yeah he said he will send me them at 6:30
There must be more pictures than that?
Here's one I just took in some different lighting
