Default Thoughts on latest Audi S3?

Going to test drive a brand new Audi S3 tomorrow (S-Tronic)

What are peoples general thoughts on them? Any experience with them?

Looking to buy later this year or start of next year.

Thanks,

Dan

S3 are decent. I wouldn't buy new to save cash.

They look good, go great and cost less seemingly than a Golf R ... I like them

A weapon in the right hands. Behave yourself in it, if you buy. They are extremely easy to drive very fast and also easy to mount the plod points up.

WELL! What a car!

The speed is insane! With very little effort you can be doing silly speeds.

Very impressed with the quality etc but stick a few options on it and the price gets silly.

Definitely want one i think!

Yeah it's a 2.0 turbocharged unit pushing 300bhp! 40mpg and £160 road tax. Modern engines are incredible.
