2017 AudiS3 Premium Plus For Sale

The 2018 S3 is a great car! I love the styling, quality and the speed & handling of the car. It's a handsome car and it sure does get a lot of compliments. In addition, Nano gray is such a unique color and I am really happy with it. The interior is simple and no overly busy, yet the digital cockpit feels ahead of its time. The B&O audio upgrade is a must for any audiophile! Finally, the ride can be a bit harsh when coupled with big wheels and the sport suspension, but it's a small price to pay for a quick little fun car.

I have owned 41 cars, trucks in 62 years. Most were foreign, only a few American except for the trucks which were all Fords. After owning a superb Porsche Cayman S, I’m now on my third Audi. The S3, purchased new, is a prestige with the Black Optic package. In my four years of ownership, it hasn’t missed a beat. Sure the back sear is a little tight for adults but work in a short trip. My golf clubs and cart fit in the trunk (driver in back seat) without folding the seats down. I’m an aggressive driver so I only average about 23mpg in my driving. But I never get left at a stop light just using moderate throttle. Once maybe twice a week, it will see 100-110 mph traffic permitting. It has only been to the dealer for scheduled service. Minuses? No Apple CarPlay. My wife doesn’t care for the non power sport seats. Maybe not for everyone, but in my experience, it’s just about the best sports sedan one can get. It isn’t the fastest but it has enough usable street (not necessarily track) performance for anyone.

While looking for an Allroad wagon, I ended up with an S3. Oof, what a great choice. While it does not have the cavernous cargo space of my old Allroad, the S3 is so zippy! Quick out the gate, and that near delicious feel when the boost kicks in! The growl coming out of the engine is quite enjoyable. Not too loud, but just enough to let you know there is power under the hood. The Quattro was a bit off, I did do a little slip and slide, however, I am readily able to attribute that to a combination of squirrely handling, snow conditions and slightly less than optimal tires. Under normal road conditions, the car performs exactly as I want it to. Turns on a dime, accelerates like a beast. The interior space is black, so, well, it is very clear on teaching you the value of keeping it clean. The plastic on the pillars is a bit cheap, and one small swipe of nearly anything causes a scuff that cannot be easily removed. Overall, I love my S3.
