Fantiastic Engine, close ratio gearbox, handling and brakes
The engine tone is unimpressive despite the performance
I have covered over 17,000 miles in 10 months using the Audi S3 coupe and have enjoyed every moment. The car is very well equipped and is comfortable to drive. The appearance is understated but very butch in design. Having previously owned a Porsche Boxster, I was surprised to discover that the handling characteristics are materially better in the S3, providing a smoother ride at speed giving you more confidence to go faster in high speed turns. The brakes are a little snappy although this is tolerable. The service indicator is showing that the car needs servicing in 1,700 miles. This is its 1st service!
