Eh...it's gonna be awesome, but overpriced a lot. Might as well buy a Golf .:R. Similar performance, similar luxury, substantially less expensive.

Does the S3 have the TTRS engine? I5?

 

[mark_seis_jsw]

I can't see it being that much more than an R compare loaded GTIs to loaded A3s

Quick question why do they paint there test cars like that? To cover the lines and stuff I mean you can usually tell what it is.

It is not paint but vinyl and yes, it disguises the lines of the vehicle.

A3 is more luxurious then a Golf/GTI/Golf R. The S3 will be no different.

Also, I prefer Quattro AWD over Haldex AWD...

AND, the 2013 next gen A3 might not even be offered in a hatchback in the US, a sedan is coming and that is likely all we will see. So if they make an S3 for the US based on the next gen car, it would essentially be like a Jetta R but with all the Audi treatment.

That is a car I would drive.

The current mk6 gti is more optioned and luxurious than the A3 that is out today. I have driven Audis and was impressed that the current GTI passed it for now. As the A3 looks dated.

If your talking about the current S3 then no. The current RS3 has the TTRS engine. If your talking about the video, you can clearly hear it's a I4 probably with a turbo.

Funny how he missed a gear at 2:02

IIRC that's the RS3.

 

[pressure drop]

No real reason to pay the steep premium for an S3 over a Golf R unless it has the 5cyl from the RS3.

nice but have to think about the cost

I'm not informed, have any previous S3 models come to the US? If so, that would lead me to believe they would bring this over to the US at some point as well. Although probably in limited configurations.
