Few shots of the new motor.

[ben_p]

Done about 2000 miles in it now so nice and run in.

Love it so far, spec is impressive with the s-tronic, Bose, Nav, phone, flat bottom wheel, tints, exclusive leather with contrast stitch (two tone), voice control, DRL's etc

Pros are
Looks (IMO)
Ride Quality
4wd Grip
Gearbox (amazing)
Easiness to drive
Pace
Quality feel

Cons

Fuel isn't amazing, I do 80% town driving and getting 22-26mpg
Potential for being stolen (breaking into house to get keys)
Steering rack is a bit slow

Overall mark so far would be 8/10. The build quality is sublime and every time I dive it I smile, really nice place to sit.

Got a few picks after having it washed and hovered (first time lol)

C + C welcome

 

[Waitey]

Had the paint repaired?

 

[Vicky.]

Lovely car, very good choice!

You keeping it as it is?

 

[Tunst]

Lovely motor

 

[Will.]

Very nice. Enjoy keeping the seats clean

 

[ben_p]

Had the key's scratch detailed out, looks 90% good. t***s.

No plans for it really. Was going to get a revo but from a recent Audi sport rolling road day all the my2011 cars were rolling 290 so pleased with that, it does shift tbf.

 

[Dunn]

lovely interior

 

[Adam.]

Love it.

Do you not use the handbrake?

 

[SC03OTT]

Nice. Really like that. Front looks a tad high though.

 

[ben_p]

Love it.

Do you not use the handbrake?

Na, well unless its a steep hill. Never used it on any auto?

 

[Dafydd]

lovely looking car ben. i have a 07 s3. love everything about it, apart from fuel cons. ive done 16k in it and averaged 23. mind you it wasnt bought for it outstanding fuel consumption. ive even found audis fixed price servicing very reasonable.

Yeah, same really. Much better than the range rovers were anyway ha. Glad you like!

 

[Bobby.]

Nice car bud.

 

[Geordie-Chris]

Nice car. You should still use the handbrake, otherwise it'll seize and when your mots due it'll most likely fail.

 

[ben_p]

Ahhh

 

[hughesclio]

very nice car that
do yourself a favour and keep the keys safe my friend had his stolen a couple of weeks ago
he lent it to a customer and went to go pick it up only to be told that his house had been broken into and took the keys and the car was gone,he was gutted to say the last.

 

[Davis]

Lovely looking motor! My mate had a TTS, think they have the same engine and that was great to drive!

 

[philmots]

Like it... Bit showy for me in white, but great cars.

 

[Jordi17]

Dun arf look nice that.

 

[EllD90]

Very nice mate!

 

[DAR]

Nice. I have the same Black Edition, but with the 2.0T TFSI engine (smaller turbo)

Let me know if you want Cruise, Foot-well lighting, door warning/puddle lights, fitting. I have done several MY 10-12 S3's. All genuine OEM new parts and looms.

eg can fit Cruise for circa £140. Audi want £350.

 

[JohnnyE]

Nice motor bud

 

[JackJack]

What's it like driving with a flat bottom wheel?

 

[brisa4984]

Looks great and I'm sure it drives well.

Needs better alloys or gloss black the current ones

 

[Englebert]

Looks a very nicely specced car; as i said in my thread though, i just can't get to grips with the looks. I think i would go for Sportback with the roof rails to make it look vaguely RS4-eque.

Seems fairly common for these engines to get 280bhp+ power, but people with remaps still say it feels like a different car.

 

[Gally]

Really like it Ben. I would just love the comfort and ride more than anything. Massive fan of the Audis in that department.

I'm sure it's rapid though so the place I can see it falling down is simply the "fun" factor. You're not an 18 year old with a 172 anymore though.

I still hanker after a TT a little.

 

[Adam.]

Nice. I have the same Black Edition, but with the 2.0T TFSI engine (smaller turbo)

Seems there's quite a few on here with Black Editions!

 

[ben_p]

Thinking of a map, 5.5 to 62 isn't too shy. Not in a rush to do it.

Gally. U need to do the TT thing then get rid after you fall asleep at the wheel ha there ok tbh, the Quattro sports are decent.

Black editions are common now! See one a day!

 

[ben_p]

What's it like driving with a flat bottom wheel?

Sound, never found it to be a issue! The feel of the wheel is awesome.

 

[Carson22]

Stunning motor!

 

[jesus]

Lovely interior!

 

[Brett]

Properly nice car

 

[Ian_182]

I think it looks lovely...

 

[andywa]

Looks spot on in white.

 

[LiamR172]

very nice car, ive always liked white S3's. but i really dont like the wheels. just doesnt look right :/

 

[SOHROB]

GIAC,ITG,Autotech HPFP and a downpipe = 360-370 bhp for around £1500

 

[Sir_Dave]

Looks nice, needs some different wheels though (maybe the earlier S3 ones), looks too much like a 1.6 Tdi for me.

 

[koi]

Looks great, as said only thing I would be changing are the wheels

 

[The Chubby Pirate]

Lovley! All this talk of remaps and downpipes and so on will surley void the warranty?

 

[Adam.]

Isn't there quite a lot of issues with Revo on the latest S3 cars?
