Well I've just bought a used one as I dont want to wait until May plus this one was lost the initial depreciation and I got a good deal. Pick it up this weekend. Spec:
S3 Sportback S-tronic
Misano red
Red parade pack leather seats
Tech pack high
Tyre pressure monitoring
Electric lumbar support
Inlays 3D design, black
B&O
Drive assistance pack
- Parking aid at front at rear
- High beam assist
- Front assist including emergency braking for ACC high
- ACC
- Lane departure warning
- Light/rain sensor
Lane assist and side assist
Pre sense basic
Auto release function
Interior light pack
Auto dimming rear view mirror
Also, tested the A45 AMG today and it felt tame compared to the S3. It honestly felt like my Scirocco. Even the dealer was less than impressed. They thought something could have been wrong with it. Either way I walked away from it.
Sweet, good spec too.

If I could own half the cars he has had is be happy. R8 may take me some time though.

Good find Nicky. You manage to secure same finance rate on used instead of brand new?

Re: Just ordered an S3 . . .
Pick up Friday at 4.30pm. Happy days. Looking forward to all the new gadgets and toys that even my massive spec RS 5 didn't have.
Looking forward to good fuel economy and good performance combined together as well.

Re: Just ordered an S3 . . .
Picked it up today. Really impressed actually, reminds me of the B8 S4 in many ways but with more tech due to the options it has.
It's no RS but its certainly a great small family car. I'll get some pics up tomorrow.

Re: Just ordered an S3 . . .
Very nice! Red with Parade seats and red stitching including armrest and optional door cards / knee pads are very smart. Time to update your sig'....

Re: Just ordered an S3 . . .
Bloody great car. Best car Audi make for a small family of three IMO. Comfy, efficient, enough room, quick and loaded with safety features. MMI touch is pretty good, lane assist and lane departure are great options as is the B&O with the lights round them. I believe the sound is artificial in dynamic however it sounds similar to the 5 pot RS 3.
Trouble is a LOT of boy racers etc really want to try it on.
Overall we're delighted with it and I'm going to try and keep it longer than a year.

Re: Just ordered an S3 . . .
Ahhhhhhhhhhhh the sound is through the stereo like the BMWs? The test car I had was a manual with okay spec but no B&O. Does this mean B&O cars sound even better in the exhaust department.....
Didn't sound like an RS3 / TT RS to me - just sounded like a hard edged rorty Golf GTi.
