What would you like to know about the Audi S3 Sportback?

[@cloudyharry12]

Is the interior quality much better than the Cupra Leon or Golf R? There seems to be a consensus that this generation of A3 is not quite up to the same standards in terms of materials used. How does it drive compared with the Cupra Leon estate you recently reviewed?

[@lambrosstamos4494]

I think it would be a good idea, if you get someone from your sister publications to evaluate and review thoroughly the B&O audio system.

Like the idea of this vlog of ownership! Hope you’re able to follow through and get the content out there. Particularly interested in the comparison to bmw m135i and A35 AMG 👍🏼

Look forward to it

Thanks David!

I currently drive a 2023 Audi S3 (got it last week). There are some issues I have with my S3 but glad you can turn off some of the features. The lane assist may be a good idea but the sensors pick up a ton of phantom stuff so you end up fighting the steering wheel at times. I'm not happy you can't turn off the auto stop/start function, you have to click it every time you start your car. Not sure why I had to upgrade to a the Technik to get the programmable seats. Super glad I didn't get navigation as my apple car play is more than adequate. Overall, I'm pretty happy with it, the peppy engine is great and although I didn't get adaptive cruise (it's a waste on a car you want to really drive), the cruise control will allow you to do the speed limit even going down a hill and I get to blow the doors off of most domestic cars...

I'm just coming out of a Giulia Veloce and considered an S3, but I think unless you go for the higher trims they look a bit bland and at the same time a bit chintzy with the chrome window surrounds and grille.

[@ParkersTV]

Fair enough, thanks for the feedback Dan. 👌

[@rlsedition]

So what happened to your Giulia?

[@ParkersTV]

Gone back to Alfa Romeo and will now be sold to a new owner!

[@rlsedition]

@@ParkersTV The Giulia Veloce and Audi S3 are, interestingly enough, competitors, not in size, but certainly in buyer intent and price. I'm sure you'll comment on that sometime during your S3 exposure.

[@ParkersTV]

Yes agreed! Both 2.0-litre turbo, both similar (ish) price - could be interesting…

[@rlsedition]

@@ParkersTV I considered both cars before buying an Alfa. My reasoning is the Alfa is RWD-based, a 50/50 weight distribution and quick/precise steering.

Could have given you some better alloys 🫣
