2000 Audi S3 review from UK and Ireland
"Expensive, but easy to live with and lots of fun"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Both the driver & passenger seat sometimes stick when moved forward.
Catch on rear central head-rest fell apart.
Both front fog lights have internal condensation.
General comments?
Very quick.
Loads of fun to drive.
Goes round corners like nothing I've ever driven (especially in the wet).
Reasonably subtle styling (huge wheels excepted!)
Rorty exhaust noise sounds very non-Audi.
Very economical if driven carefully.
Excellent build quality.
Very comfortable over long distances although the ride is very firm.
BOSE stereo option sounds fantastic.
Not a huge amount of room in the back.
Boot smaller than normal A3 (a bit too small).
Very easy to dent alloys on the kerb.
Not cheap when options added on, but who cares... I love it!
