Its a good car however frustrated me from time to time..there is far too much spool up time building up power from the turbo then when the boost comes on its either too late or too much boost and your shooting right up behind someone... maybe thats just me but it left me with a sinking feeling somtimes..
The interior is exceptional tho mine had red leather pack and the flat bottom steering is a must and the sat nav is the same used in Lambos so is very good and easy to use .. the ride is also harsh and jarring but corners well but when cruising your geting thrown around far too much.. definatly not a refind ride.
However I would buy another one with the S tronic and sportback guise as the power is addictive and you rarely see another one on the road. If magnetic ride option has a comfort mode then Id be all over it..
Also I lost a couple of grand when selling it so they do hold there money.. Mine had no problems either... however a golf gti does exactly the same job without the punchy performance but is more useable for normal driving as there is little/no spool up time but still S3s turn heads golfs dont..
