Audi owners in here!

You mean the loan company's S3.

I own my S1, and my A4 will be financed with the view of paying it off within 24 months. In terms of ownership, I don't think I'll feel any differently when I sit in the driver's seat of the A4.

You missed company car drivers aswell, i bet a vast proportion of A4 diesels are company motor, does it matter, of course it doesnt!!

So, here's the "temporary steed".

Test drive or has the S3 been delayed?

It was a problem with registering and taxing, which is now resolved:

It's not been washed yet (asked for them not to "valet" it, don't trust them, I've seen how they "valet" cars before), so no glut of pictures, but at least it's finally in my hands.

That's a beautiful colour. Welcome to the 'glutton for punishment' dark paintwork society

Congrats! Very envious

I really wish the S3 Saloon met my needs, but unfortunately I need an estate.

I guess that's why there is the sport back. Or Golf R Estate...

Sportback isn't long enough inside, and I've written about my test drive of the Golf R on here already. I really didn't like it, although on paper it's perfect.

My A4 was a far darker blue, I'm used to the "quirks" of dark paint

Because the S3 is so different...

Interior quality wise, and feature wise it is. Styling is subjective though I prefer the S3 Saloon, obviously. I think I prefer the styling of the Golf R over the S3 3dr though.

The interior is, but you already know this. I didn't test drive one because there was no point. I need a load length of >1.8m and loading a mountain bike into a saloon isn't fun.

Lovely colour Paradigm, look forward to seeing this on Sat, very nice.

Nice S3

Firestar_3x · 28 Oct 2016 at 10:56

S3 looks mile better as a Saloon, nice choice.

Very nice Paradigm, like the interior colour combo!

Cheers, I make a point of always avoiding black on black with extra black and black highlights, it's just so... dull. I would have liked a tan or a red, but alas no.
