Audi S3 (2013) CAR review

2.5

This is the new Audi S3, a near-300bhp four-wheel drive hot hatch that’s as quick as a Porsche 911 and a rival for BMW’s M135i and the forthcoming Mercedes A45 AMG. Is it a VW Golf GTI turned up to 11, or just a faster Audi A3? Read on for our first drive review of the new Audi S3… How ...

Its introduction coincides with a mild facelift across the A3 range as a whole that includes some new engines and detail engineering updates. So it’s exactly the same as the current Audi S3 but ...

Audi S3 (2006) CAR review

Chris Chilton, 31 August 2006 07:56

Hot hatch So the fast A3 returns. What’s the story this time? It’s the same basic recipe: turbocharged four-pot motor and Haldex four-wheel drive system, a great cabin and a price that makes it appear suspiciously poor value beside a couple of other Volkswagen-group cars. The old S3 was always aware of its place below the TT in the hierarchy. ...
