Hi all, bought a 2016 S3 in Mythos black in August, skipped my flight to catch delivery, and drove it to Miami from NY that night and have been in love since. Looking forward to being part of the community!

Audi S3 MY2015
Hello! I am a re-new S3 from Finland. A "re-new" means I have owned one before, i.e. a brand new MY2014 S3 in 2014. A year later I moved to MY2015 RS3 and then in 2018 for Golf R (ups...is this name allowed here..?). Now back to Audi and it is a nicely kept MY2015 black S3 Sportback. Feels GOOD!

Nice, welcome! It'll be interesting in hearing what you thought about the differences in each. I considered both the Golf R and RS3. S4 as well but to big for my tastes I like a car that feels light and even though the S4 had plenty of power didn't feel the same. I enjoyed my tt as well.

Hi! All these three (RS3 / S3 / Golf R) are light cars and this is why the driver feels the true presence of the car - that I think is what you mean by "I like a car feels light". Golf R is a nice car and the steering is karting-car-like, but this is the only upside for Golf R compared to RS3 or S3. Audi cabins are very nice and both RS3 and S3 has the feel of brutality that is not present in Golf R, although it is is a fast car. Generally, S3 is closer to RS3 than to Golf R, in my opinion.

Hello all! Just joined and looking for some good info from all you RS3 owners out there! I'm new to Audi in general and would like to get some perspective if possible. I'd say the biggest question I have is the quality of these cars. Are they really worth the money and do they hold up well? I know that seems very general, but if you're going to spend $50-$60k on a car then you want first hand experience on it's durability. Any thoughts/comments positive or negative on the RS3 are very welcome! Thanks in advance!

Hey everyone, Anthony here. Picked up a 2019 Ara Blue RS3 Black Optic with red stitching. I'm loving this car, moving on up from a 2018 mk7.5 Golf R. Rolf got rear ended and totaled out just before Christmas. IMG_20200220_212046_601.jpg IMG_20200220_174026__01.jpg

2017 S3 Black Edition Ara Blue
Afternoon guys, new member post here with my new purchase. 2017 S3 Ara Blue Black Edition. Had it for a month now and loving it! Trying to find excuses to drive this daily in quarantine is getting harder. Not the best photographer but I'm sure my skills will improve with time.

2017 S3 Prestige
Hey guys, obviously nee here, but lurked before buying a 2017 S3 Prestige in Navarra Blue, really happy with the car! A lot like my old STi but a little more grown up looking and more practical for everyday use, definitely enjoying the luxury interior quality. Think I am gonna go with some cosmetic upgrades like wheels, front splitter and maybe some suspension stuff. Don’t want to void that warranty!

Welcome, and enjoy your gro. Hi and welcome! That’s a really nice looking blue shade. Maybe we can convince all the S3 or S version drivers to give the “nod” or wave like the STI / WRX drivers do. That’s one thing I miss about my Subie. If you’re interested, I have a used Neuspeed power module I could sell you for $200 shipped to U.S. I used it before modding my S3.
