2016 Audi A3 / S3 / RS3![]() melde |
Early morning, the day after I got it. |

2016 Audi A3 / S3![]() Ihop |
First time Audi owner. Wanted something small. Wanted to see if I would like the Quattro system. No snow so far so the jury is out. I drive fairly aggressively. Car is always in sport mode with the stability control off |

To some people, the A3's spare interior seems cheap. The more expensive S3 has the same interior. |
|

I neglected to photograph the S3's engine. Here's the same engine in a Golf R. Powerful, but laggy. |
|

Small trunk, but usually enough. |
|

Adults will fit much better back here than in the CLA. |
|

The $1850 sport seats look great and provide excellent support, but delete power adjustments. |

Audi's reconfigurable instruments. |
|
2016 Audi A3 / S3 mkaresh Ten-Year Veteran |
This is the 2016. The 2017 has reconfigurable LCD instruments. |
|
2016 Audi A3 / S3 mkaresh Ten-Year Veteran |
Cleanly styled to a fault. Round air vents as in the sporty TT. |
|

Does the S3's interior look much more upscale than the Golf R's? |
|
2016 Audi A3 / S3 mkaresh Ten-Year Veteran |
The AMG CLA45's interior employs cheaper materials, but is more aggressively sporty. |
|
2016 Audi A3 / S3 mkaresh Ten-Year Veteran |
Drooping rear end. Some people like it. I don't. More obviously a high-performance model. |
|
2016 Audi A3 / S3 mkaresh Ten-Year Veteran |
Most elegant from the rear quarter. S3 has four exhaust tips, two per side and one per cylinder. |
|
2016 Audi A3 / S3 mkaresh Ten-Year Veteran |
The S3's relatively short length is most evident from the side. They disguised it well. |
|
2016 Audi A3 / S3 mkaresh Ten-Year Veteran |
The Golf R shares a powertrain and chassis with the S3, but is a hatchback and costs less. |
|
2016 Audi A3 / S3 mkaresh Ten-Year Veteran |
The dramatic CLA, marketed as a coupe, resembles the much larger CLS rather than a Mercedes sedan. |
|
2016 Audi A3 / S3 mkaresh Ten-Year Veteran |
Though unrelated mechanically, the S3 looks much like larger Audi sedans, just smaller. |
|
2016 Audi A3 / S3 mkaresh Ten-Year Veteran |
Highly capable in curves. |
|
2016 Audi A3 / S3 mkaresh Ten-Year Veteran |
Looks much like other Audis of the front. This is the 2016. Tweaked for 2017. |
