Was in Munich for a few days with work to get a closer look at the some of the new Audi models ,
unfortunately never got any pics of the new A8 , TT or S1 as we weren't allowed.
I did get some of the new S3 and also got a bit of track time with it and also a shot of the new sport diff on the S4 :driver:
Overall Impressions of the new S3 for me are pretty good , never really got to stretch it legs as it was a small sprint style track tho.
Handled most of it well but does still have understeer issues, personally I blame the haldex style quattro .
As per usual with Audi sport models you do feel they should be more hardcore but as an overall package comfort/sport/everyday driving it's a very nice car.
Styling is a bit understated but it is Audi haha really like the quad tailpipes and full led headlights tho
The cabin in the new A3 is a really nice place to be and switching from comfort to dynamic is really noticeable especially with the increased cabin and exhaust noise .
Personally I'm really digging the saloon :drool:
Only took a few pics and they were with my phone but thought I'd share anyway

Sounds like a good day. I was tempted by the S3, but the draw of the M135i was too strong....

Audi sold out after the 8L (96-03) models,you can have a lookalike if you pay the money and the S3 has no more distinguishing marks than an A3.money money money in my sad eyes.
