The S3 section is always quiet, so I thought I would post a report now I have had the car four years....the longest time I have owned the same car, speaks for itself really!
A list of things/problems/costs etc...in no particular order
* Got the car Jan 2003, when I was 22, the car with 19k miles, a 2001 model, 210 bhp, £19,000
* Exhaust back box and centre under warranty
* Front door speakers under warranty
* Coil packs X 4 under warranty
* Traction control sensor under warranty
* Coil pack December 2006, £40 fitted
* Two variable services (was serviced at 19k when collected)
* Front pads X 2, £200
* Front discs, £100
* Rear pads, £50
* APR chip, variable programmes on cruise control, 210/257/270 bhp, £690
* 2 litres of oil
* Clutch master cyclinder under warranty
* 8 X F1's, £800 (new tyres fitted collected)
* Jetex panel filter, £40
* Front n/s CV, £150
* Tracking X 3, £250 (got ripped at the first two places, Audi sorted in the end)
* Divertor Valve, £20
* Airflow Meter, £90
* 2 X sets of Denso Iridium plugs, £100
All prices approx., prob missed some stuff, but not a lot has gone wrong really.
I'd like to think its still worth atleast £11k (now on 64k miles), if so, to lose £8k in value in four years sounds good to me
Can't think what else to get without adding a load of money to it (M3 would be nice though ). I know for a fact that i won't be having a new model S3 .......Here is the car when I first got it in 2003 ....

And the trim....
