C63 Gone,...Audi S3 next week!

[iloveholden]

That will be a good car also. Not many S/H ones around,..the earlier V6 versions were pretty special too,...Have you considered one of them?
Pickles.

Not really tbh mate, can't see past the quick times of 2L/DSG combo...about a 1sec quicker to 100 plus I prefer the MkVI styling I'll most likely tune the little 2L one day too.

I just saw one in the flesh, white, well f*** me, they are a nice looking piece of kit, well done mate.

They are mate, they are. Most people don't know about 'em,..Audi ain't big on advertising, but take the time to really have a good look at one, check out the quality of the interior, comfort etc,...and then of course,.....have a drive.
Some may know about the "A" series of Audi, which from a distance looks a bit similar, but the "S" is a completely different animal.
Cheers, Pickles.

Pickles,

Audi tend to not go over the top in styling and sometimes a badge is really all that can tell them apart to the non enthusiast, Mate of mine who is long time Ford fan and has Gt Cobra in the shed has now moved into the Audi camp and has a SQ5 and a TT RS. The TT RS looks very similar to a standard TT which I always though suited a Hairdresser ect, BUT that RS badge means ALOT......It is the 5 Cylinder turbo and with tune only is Flat 4 Sec high 3 Sec Car.

[Pickles]

SV805,...yes,agree, they are definitely a bit under the radar.
I've heard it said that there will eventually be an RS3,..possibly with the 5 pot engine,...I look forward to that!
Cheers, Pickles.

Where are the photos !

Pickles,

Audi TT Concept at Geneva has the VW family 2 litre Turbo with a little work spitting out 309Kw out of the 2 litre. This may show up down the line in Audi and VW cars.

I considered the bmw but preferred the larger cabin of the S3 or AMG, BMW is quite small. And the engineer in me wanted 4 wheel drive

Spot on, I totally agree. The AWD drive is a big consideration over the RWD and the BMW has no room in the rear for anyone other than a small child.

Yes, I did mean the 5 door Sportback. As Matthew says, the only other version is the sedan, which will be arriving here shortly. We do not get the 3 door version.

The Sportback and Sedan both look hot. I'd probably go the hatch as well just for the little extra convenience of the 5th door.

No worries at all driving it!
But seriously, the S3 is a VERY good small car. Obviously not the same sort of car as the C63, and it doesn't try to be. It's a very easy, "light" car to drive, very responsive, & 206KW & 380Nm gives it plenty of poke.
karen absolutely loves it, & it's really perfect for her. I'd recmmend an S3 to anyone who's looking for a hatch of this size, with a bit of go.
Having said that, we've just got back from doing a 2000K trip to Broken Hill in our LandRover Defender!
Cheers, Pickles.

So you won't be able to post up pics of the Audi until you are out of traction?
