We clocked a 0-60 sprint in just 4.3 seconds… that’s right, this car is only about a half second slower versus the previous generation Audi RS3. We’ll be curious to see how the new one drives, but Audi has really significantly improved the latest S3. It’s a seriously quick, nimble in corners, and attractive all-around. The upcoming Acura Integra will have to deal with this excellent car when it comes out later this year.

I never pay any attention to any S or RS numbers because I’ve never met a single owner of either (same goes for GTI and Golf R owners) that hadn’t -at a bare minimum- gotten a tune. VW’s and Audi’s take to basic bolt-on’s and a tune REALLY well.

I won't tune my brand new Audi S3 to preserve the engine.

They force this Q5 steering wheel but they don't even include the heating. Yuck.

Dude. 7:01 LOOK AT THAT COLOUR. It practically melts in your mouth. Daytona Gray. What do you mean "I probably wouldn't get this in a gray color". It's so sexy and stealthy. It changes color based on reflections hitting it. This is the Audi CEOs favorite color. Mine is black seats w red trim. Much better. Take back what you said. 😊

When the median income in the US is $57k/year. A $45k car is, or should be, outside the range of affordability for most people. $45k is practically $50k out the door. Financing for 5 years brings that to about $834/month. Factoring in insurance and gas, you're sitting around $1k a month. I make well over $170k a year before bonuses and I drive an MX5, a $35k car. Yet, I know people who make less than $60k/year driving $60k cars. Crazy.

Sooo Audi gave you a press car like 4 months ago with summer tires… while it was snowing… and now you’ve got one with winter tires while it’s warmer outside…? Strange

I am 100% certain that anyone who bought a Model 3 did NOT drive this first. This is peak small sport sedan. Period.

As a three-time Audi owner, and ready to move toward the S3, I just have such a hard time with the fake air ducts, especially on the rear. I'm not sure it's a deal breaker, but it really is grating on me. I wonder if Audi would be pissed (with a lease) If I filled in the back bumper for a totally smooth look? Haha.
