Audi S3 is very appropriate for those who appreciate a sport that-as far as possible in a car of this kind-is practical, comfortable and functional.

Audi S3
Dynamically gives everything you would expect from a sport of this size with 265 hp, and it's easy to drive fast, is not uncomfortable suspension, has an engine smooth and elastic, is not excessively noisy and it is discreet exterior (except for the color of bodywork, whichever is chosen).
Audi S3
According to our measurements, the Audi S3 we have had has been extraordinarily fast for the power that advertises the brand. Passes, and by far a BMW 130I or a Porsche Cayman (245 hp) and is almost as fast as a Cayman S (295 hp). Consumption is not content but lower than the BMW. These are the benefits and consumption announcing the mark, compared with those of other sports such power.
Audi S3
The engine is a variant of more than four cylinders 2.0 litre engine capacity and turbocharged direct injection gasoline.
Audi S3
This engine has had several versions car series: 170 hp in the Audi A6, 185 hp in the SEAT Leon, 200 hp in the Volkswagen Golf GTI (among other models), 220 hp in the Audi A4 or 240 hp in the Seat Leon Cupra. It feels very similar to all of them, but with a greater sense of momentum.

The gearbox is standard six-speed manual; can not be automatic. It has a total switch able traction system automatically, through a clutch of multi-type Haldex.

The Audi S3 has a suspension lowered 25 mm compared with a normal A3 and 10 mm in relation to one who has the sport suspension option. Despite this, do not feel like a disk drive suspension, is softer than-for example-a Seat Leon Cupra.
Audi S3
This does not mean that the suspension is soft: the Audi S3 is not balanced and does not have much touch awkward at the entrance to the slow curves characteristic of some cars suspension soft. What we have achieved is an Audi car firm suspension that is not dry when it passes over small potholes that quickly shake the wheel.
Audi S3
The major design changes are inlets in front of different shape and size, and in one piece in the rear bumper that resembles an extractor aerodynamic. There are other decorative details such as different door handles or a deck of aluminum in the rearview mirrors.

There are eleven colors for the exterior body, one of them ("Solar Orange") for the exclusive Audi S3. It is an orange similar to the Focus ST, although less lively.

The interior is distinguished by elements such as sports seats cloth and leather or aluminum pedals, there are also differences decorative. Interior, almost everything that seems aluminum is aluminum.
Audi S3
As there are six standard equipment airbags, stability control, climate control, xenon headlights, anti-theft alarm, tires, 18 "or a stopwatch with a lap time function (already available in the RS4). Optionally can have a Bose sound equipment , Auxiliary connection to the home stereo, DVD browser with MMI, reinstallation mobile phone, sports seats and alloy wheels of 20 ", among other things.

The seat is optional subject more than the number in the hip and lower back, but virtually the same in the dorsal area. The habitability is similar to the rest of the range.

In Audi S3, Audi has achieved a car that lets go slow road very quickly without being very demanding with whom it leads: responds quickly to the indications which give the steering wheel or pedals, falls well in curves and not Reactions have to make it an unsafe car. What we have is not touch them there in general there are some sports, but are less powerful as the Mazda MX-5, or more powerful than him, like a Porsche Cayman S.

It is a comfortable car for this is a sport version. The suspension has a very good absorption capacity but nor should we expect it to filter all kinds of irregularities without forwarding them to the occupants.
Audi S3
Comparatively, is softer than other similar cars, a BMW 130I or SEAT Leon Cupra, making it more suitable for use on a daily basis for all sorts of ways. A Ford Focus ST is slightly more comfortable.

In addition, Audi has managed to effectively contain the movements of the body, so that a car is not more awkward than the previous ones. The Audi S3 keeps the movement of the body to switch from supporting or when the strong braking is not completely straight; this effect also occurs in version 3.2 Quattro 250-hp, albeit more evident.
Audi S3
However, a BMW 130I and, above all, Leon Cupra can be more agile in a firm with smooth roads, at the expense of being more uncomfortable suspension. If the road is very Bach the Audi S3 goes better than the BMW (which has more difficulty in absorbing the irregularities).
Audi S3
Regardless of the state of asphalt, the Audi S3 is better than an Audi TT 2.0 TFSI with the standard suspension and exactly the same brand and extent of tyres (225/40 R18 Continental SportContact2).
Audi S3
The towing capacity falls short of the strength of the engine. The systems gives total traction advantage over a car front and rear traction when exiting a curve slow as quickly as possible. As in other cars with clutch Haldex, when cornering speeds beyond a certain limit reacts almost like car rear traction if the firm is very slippery. This is more palpable if the car is already unbalanced, for example, in the second around curves linked.
Audi S3
The brakes are notable for the limited distance to stop the car but, before demanding a deal, they lose effectiveness appreciably. As has happened when we've tested other TFSI engine variants of 2.0 litre engine capacity, we have measured the performance of Audi S3 are superior to what to expect of power approved by Audi.
Audi S3
We tried another car of similar power that has been faster. The BMW 130I and Z4 3.0si (both 265 hp) have been considerably slower, which also happens to the Mercedes-Benz SLK 350 (272 hp), or the Porsche Cayman (245 hp). A BMW 335i coupe (306 hp) or a Porsche Cayman S (295 hp) are slightly faster.
Audi S3
Recovering in fourth, fifth or sixth speed, the differences are even more increased volume, either by the advantage that gives the supercharged (for example, in the case of the Cayman S) or developments shorter. Of the sports that we have recently measured, only the BMW M6 is recovering better. The new Audi S3 also is faster and consumes less than the previous Audi S3, which had a 224 hp engine.
Audi S3
In highway, to an average of 133 kph spent 10.4 litres/100 km. There is a low value but for its power, can be considered good. In two-way road, circulating at a rapid pace, with plenty of traffic and using the maximum acceleration in overtaking, spent 12.1 litres/100 km.
Audi S3
The engine has a feel very similar to other variants of this engine. The worst thing is the lack of strength at very low system that makes it more uncomfortable than others when it comes to boot on a ramp.
