2015 Audi S3

I like the S3 much. The engine is torquey, the suspension firm, the steering feel is pretty good. The entertainment system is very nice. Audi makes very good cars with classic styling and a sporty nature. BMW has, in my mind, lost its way and MB is too luxury-oriented. If I can't have a Porsche, then Audi is a great way to go.

I felt the S3 was a performance variant of the A3 that was much more powerful than the base model, that it fit our lifestyle needs well. I thought the MB and the BMW models compared to it were not as nice. I think the Lexus 250 is F was underwhelming. The S3 had no real competition for me to purchase other than the Macan. If the Macan could have been optioned well and stayed around 50K I would have likely purchased it, however I am more than thrilled with our S3.

I've owned a number of cars from many manufacturers, but Audi is simply the best. I love the styling and detail they put into every car build. The performance of the brand is second to none and I get so many compliments on my S3.

It is the most uncomfortable vehicle I have ever driven. I have started having severe lower back problems because of the seats. I am a very young guy who is having some serious health issues. I will never recommend this car to anyone. I am trying my best to sell this car ASAP. Audi has fitted this car with the most uncomfortable seats on the planet. I have paid through my nose for this car but I have had to pay more for the treatment of my back. My social life has been severely impaired because of this vehicle. Don't even get me started on the back seats. We can't even fit 2 people comfortably there. If you are around 5ft 10" forget about sitting in the back seat. Though seemed to be an alluring performance vehicle during the test drive, Audi has come out with a significantly flawed product. It has not been designed with ergonomics in mind. I dread driving this vehicle.

The seats are not comfortable in the s3. You need to work on seat comfort. Cup holders are not in a good place drinks bump into the controls. Garage door opener should be standard in all vehicles driver memory of controls should be standard. These things are standard in way less expensive vehicles

Backseat head and leg room is the only minor flaw in this car.

I came close to purchasing the Mercedes HOWEVER, the pricing of the S3 was perfectly placed between the CLA250 and the CLA45AMG. Priced just a little higher than the Mercedes CLA250, I was able to get the features and performance of the Mercedes CLA45 by buying the Audi S3. It saved me about $10,000.

Should have driver's seat adjustment memory. Should have HomeLink. Should have auto-dimming rearview mirror.

Great sporty small sedan. My only criticism is transmission and turbo lag on acceleration.

I love my S3 but would love it even more if it had a stick instead of an automatic. I LOVE MY S3, I ONLY WISH IT HAD A MANUAL TRANSMISSION. I ALMOST DID NOT BUY IT BECAUSE OF THAT BUT COULD NOT FIND SOMETHING SIMILAR WITH A MANUAL.
