Sold my 335D and picked up an Audi S3. Warning, Audi content!!

Nice S3! Both that and the new Golf R seem really impressive.

ryanSTL · 01-03-2015, 09:18 PM

i love the package (turbo, quattro, audi interior, price, etc), but the car just doesn't look muscular enough for me. especially the rear

wheel & tire upgrade will help

i'm sure it's a blast to drive
make sure to post some better pics and a review. congrats!

Nice, I was eyeing something like this until something called budget got in the way

TLO03 · 01-03-2015, 10:35 PM

Your 335d was for sale for like 2hrs , I been searching hard

WreckerX5d · 01-03-2015, 10:39 PM

Congrats on the car. I'm going to get rid of the D as well. Same reasons as you mentioned, although I'll move onto a Chevy SS. I'll hit 100k miles by that time.

DrivenByE30 · 01-04-2015, 12:04 AM

Congrats!!

You ve good taste in cars...

Slops · 01-04-2015, 07:54 AM

Awesome car, what's the chance well actually get the RS3???

STALKER · 01-04-2015, 09:11 AM

OP, are you selling your HREs from the R? I got a 2012 R that i use as my DD that needs some summer rims/tires.

Congrats! Looks very nice. Love the size and proportions of the new S3. Does the S3 and the new Golf R share the same chassis?

Thx

Yes indeed.
Same engine, chassis, brakes.

I was actually really considering the S3 until I test drove it and realized it drove like a FWD. Then I did some research and according to Motortrend:

Quote:

The new S3 is based on front-drive architecture but of course comes with standard Quattro all-wheel drive.

I'm not sure if it is similar to a CLA45 where it is basically a 60/40 AWD. Where it is usually FWD but the rear wheels kick in when it feels that it is losing traction.

Very good looking car, I think they hit it out the park with the design of the car.

STALKER · 01-10-2015, 09:36 PM

Interior is beautiful.
Do you find the rear seat more usable then the R? Since it's not a hatch.

TunedM2C · 01-10-2015, 09:49 PM

Are there engine and exhaust mods available for the S3 yet?
