Must say, I do like the S3 saloon. Size wise it's probably the same size as the B5 A/S4.

If they can do the RS3 in Saloon flavour, I'm be temped to buy one. Might get an S3 Saloon next year anyway. Looks great.

mm that does look suprisingly good !
Could be tempted by that, especially in black, but I hope it does not suffer from the massive B pillar issue right in the line of view that I got in the A5 saloon

My old man picks up an s3 black edition tomorrow but the 5door sportback, not saloon. Looking forward to giving it some stick and comparing to my UK STi. The stronic gearbox is sublime apparently. They are massively overpriced for what they are, his is a '12 with 12K on it with the rare panoramic roof, bose stereo and some trimmings, 29K.

If you're gonna spend time on the hard shoulder then you may as well be sat in something pretty

Owned a s3 couple years ago, absolutely lovely car to drive, the doors made that perfect clunk when you close them.
Very comfy and pretty to look at inside and out and drove beautifully..............that was the problem though, I got soooo bored really fast and didn't feel at all quick.

Strange isn it. The more you pay on the VAG cars the worse they get. Skodas seem relatively ok, then the Seat, then VW and then Audi. The higher up the scale and the more you pay the worse the reliability gets.

Only seen 1 broken down Audi this week but the VW count stands at 3

SRSport

Only one? You must not have been paying attention. I saw a TTS sounding very unhealthy pull in to Homebase, when I came out it was stuck on this. The amazing thing was it was recovered within about 20 minutes. Do all Audi drivers have a fast track breakdown service number on speed dial or something?

Hardly recent is it, that picture was posted on here months ago.

Its got my attention has the new saloon, looks nice.
but I have to say id have to seriously look at the
Merc A45 instead if I was looking for fastness....

SRSport

Lol, not in the last week or so but still the last pick up truck I saw and it just so happened to be picking up an Audi.

...edit...sorry I've just remembered seeing a fairly new looking 1 series BMW on the back of a pick up 2 weeks ago.
