ClimberSP Posted August 30, 2006 Report Share Posted August 30, 2006 Here, and you go to Video. Doesn't sound very nice thouh, but it seems the car runs well. http://auto-presse.de/fahrberichte.php?newsid=13329 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S3Rob Posted August 30, 2006 Report Share Posted August 30, 2006 Looks good. Good to see it being used as intended. Nice pickup past that car, I'll be practicing that on my local A-roads. So does this mean that journalists are starting to get the car? Might get a few first indications of how it drives soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S3Rob Posted August 30, 2006 Report Share Posted August 30, 2006 [ QUOTE ] Was it just me or did that roll like anything? [/ QUOTE ] Did it? I was actually going to say it looked quite composed. I hope they don't go too over the top with the firmness. I've yet to see a road that smooth in the UK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
logit Posted August 30, 2006 Report Share Posted August 30, 2006 I dont know what everyone else thinks, but i dont think it has any road presence. The lack of flared arches is inexcusable imo. It looks like any old s-line A3 to me..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DuncS3 Posted August 30, 2006 Report Share Posted August 30, 2006 Yes, I've been quite pro the new S3 but it did'nt look all that in the video (nice find btw). I need to see it in the flesh. Dunc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S3ENVY Posted August 30, 2006 Report Share Posted August 30, 2006 Yeah, top find! Agree on the sound though, first thing I'd do with that is stick some Milteks on it! ......and of course void the warranty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wallachie Posted August 31, 2006 Report Share Posted August 31, 2006 Great find ClimberSP!! I think the car looks pretty good in that video actually, although the colour doesn't do it for me. I would have Misano red or DPB (if poss!) or Sprint Blue. Sound of the car doesn't bother me either, I'm usually inside with the stereo on anyway! Looking forward to the Autocar review next week.

S3ENVY Posted August 31, 2006 Report Share Posted August 31, 2006 Actually, it sounds pretty nice and turboed when it's overtaking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What are you planning to do, get the standard wheels and then fit some 19" RS4s'? if so where are you getting them from? I also think the rear wheels desparetley needs some speacers to make the arches look bigger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm selling my car and using the money for something else. If I do get one it will be late next year, but I would get RS4 reps in 19", sell the 18's and fit some spacers. All very easy to do, and the RS4 reps are available in any decent alloy wheel place now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

banwelll Posted September 2, 2006 Report Share Posted September 2, 2006 Do know if anyones seen this but I wish audi would take note:- Not strictly an S3 but certain in the spirit of what it could have been? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
