Wow... Impressive power and comfort

Impressed with engineering and transmission. Very impressive for a 4 Cyclinder. It’s a 4.4 sec car for 0-60. Seats are very comfortable and rear seats as well. Good enough space for a 6FT tall person

Fantastic Sport Sedan

This car is fun to drive. If you are interested in a sports car hiding under a 4 door Sedan's exterior this is a great choice. I loved driving this car.

New to Audi

This is my first time owning an Audi. So far I am impressed with the attention to detail as well as the features offered. The performance is fantastic and the car handling is crisp and responsive.

A terrific all round Sports sedan

This is the 39th car I?ve owned. I?ve own 3 BMWs, 7 Mercedes, 1 Porsche and 2 Audis. This S3 is by far perhaps the best all round car I have owned. It has a the basic luxury inside, the exterior is subdued and not ?boy racer?. It has all the current level of safety features that one could want or need. Yet, R&T calls it the ?little monster? given its performance. It is a true 4 sec. car that will hold its own and more with its near 300 hp and Quattro drive train. It really is one the best cars (for me) that I?ve owned. In 15k miles, I?ve no issues whatsoever. None. I love this car.

Best of fun fast yet tame

Everything from 4.6 sec to 60 track ready ( to a point ) to a few pushes of the drive button to get Cadillac quiet softness . On the road trips .. average 28 mpg At home it's 18..but I'm always in S unless on highway or whatever. .not good to lug a 4 banger turbo. .can't wait for 2019 340 hp version! Only thing that could better this s3 is BRING THE SPORT HATCH ! even tho I do think the sedan is way better looking.

Really cool sporty little sedan

Very fast, very nice interior and awesome design. Gas mileage is pretty good for a 300hp car! This car is very fun to drive with its different driving modes

Fun factor is here.

A great compact premium sedan to drive. You get the fun of a Mustang with the quality, luxury and sportiness of a luxury German car.
