CarMad Posted August 3, 2006 Report Share Posted August 3, 2006 Looks like its going to be a great car even if the looks don't match the performance. Looks like you are going to be having some serious fun at sub 6secs performance levels. The handling might be in the same league aswell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S3Rob Posted August 3, 2006 Report Share Posted August 3, 2006 Yep, it's gonna cost. Just have to share the attached pic. Audi UK need to get this on their website asap! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wallachie Posted August 3, 2006 Report Share Posted August 3, 2006 Az - the wheels will be more like £2k mate, they were £1850 for my S3. As for acoustic parking, WTF do you need that for on a hatchback?? Are you a bird?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Acoustic parking, I have had it on all my Audi's since my last S3, then A4 Cab now A4 Saloon, I really like it. In between I had a Seat Leon Cupra R and reversed it into a post AZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colmartin Posted August 3, 2006 Report Share Posted August 3, 2006 I would also have the acoustic parking thing, the rear view from the A3 is aweful and as the S3 is near enough the same, it too will have the same issue! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Posted August 3, 2006 Report Share Posted August 3, 2006 currently not impressed. and most certainly wont be rushing out to get one in the near future . my current car is as quick if not quicker remapped, same or more power, good chunk more torque and more importantly gets much better fuel economy . Its rare i see below 25 mpg at worse. Yet the new S3 combined average is 25.7 ??? ok we can get into the conversation that the new S3 will be able to be remapped, but once you weigh up the cost to change, and the fact the mods are already in place on mine, then its no brainer. and even modding, if the New S3 comes out the box with a peak boost of 1.2 bar, then thats less for the tuners to play with. If i didnt mind poorer fuel economy than i get at the minute, id probably go back to a V6 (r32?? ) or get raped by shell and own a V8. maybe it will grow on me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sufu Posted August 3, 2006 Report Share Posted August 3, 2006 If you do get rid of your S3, can i have first rejection? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gren Posted August 3, 2006 Report Share Posted August 3, 2006 I'm surprised about the boost level and mpg - thats almost 20% below the 2.0T! The 2.0 engine seems to put out about 20% more power than the 1.8 in its guises (150 in normally aspirated form versus 115 for the 1.8, 200 in standard turbo versus 150 etc) - 265 versus the old 225 engine is around the same amount more. So why not put in a similar sized turbo with similar boost as the old S3? Far better economy and more room for remaps etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

safety69 Posted August 6, 2006 Report Share Posted August 6, 2006 cannot believe Audi have made it that fast standard. Once a few decent tuners get there hands on one that would be a seriously quick car, how a topline audi should be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the price it just seems there are better cars out in the second hand market, but then maintenance, tax and petrol costs are higher... Let alone if something gets damaged.. I was up for a change from my R32, but if the CSL or RS4 were not out, I would have stuck with it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adwhitworth Posted August 8, 2006 Report Share Posted August 8, 2006 Would have quite fancied one of these but with a combined MPG of only 25 I think I'll be looking elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sitas3 Posted August 14, 2006 Report Share Posted August 14, 2006 catching up after my hols. I think I'll wait to see if a sportback materialises (RS3?). Otherwise like others it doesn't tick the boxes and not a vast improvement on my current modded S3.. any details about the brakes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
