Which is the most popular engine in the Audi S3?

Throughout its production, the S3 has only been available with one petrol engine per generation, though the newer ones have been upgraded to offer more power.

Which are the most popular trim levels?

The newest S3 lineup comes in two trim levels: Black Edition and Vorsprung. The Black Edition is the lower-cost option of the two, making it the favourite among S3 owners, while the Vorsprung provides additional specification, making them more desirable.

What optional extras should I look out for?

Customers should look out for models that include 19-inch Sport diamond cut alloy wheels and S suspension with damper control. A premium Bang & Olufsen sound system and advanced safety features are also available.

Is the Audi S3 a good family car?

Despite being focused on performance, the S3 has a lot to offer families. The rear seat room is accommodating in the saloon or estate models, and the boot is the same size as a normal family hatchback.

Is the Audi S3 available as an automatic?

The most recent iteration of the S3 came equipped with an automatic as standard, so they are easy to find on the used market. There are a handful of manual examples of the S3 out there on the used market, however.

Is there a four-wheel drive version available?

The Audi S3 has only ever been available with all-wheel drive. Audi calls this system 'Quattro', meaning that power is sent to all four wheels. With this capability, drivers can expect better handling and traction.

Why buy a used Audi S3?

If you're in the market for a sporty hatchback that's stylish and practical, then a used Audi S3 is a fantastic choice. As a performance-focused model, the Audi S3 provides fantastic acceleration and handling, along with a high-quality cabin. Not only is the interior comfortable, but the exterior styling is aggressive, yet subtle.
