The Audi S3

Audi’s answer to the VW Golf R32 or the Focus ST is the Audi S3. Like all Audi S models, it is comes with Audi renowned Quattro four-wheel drive system. The four wheel drives provides incredible grip while the turbocharged 2.0 engines provides immense power.

As with most turbo charged engines the S3’s 2.0 Turbo charged engine only really wakes up above 2000 rpm, anything lower than that and it seems pretty hesitant to move on, built once the turbo kicks in it becomes a new beast.

Unlike most of its competitors in the hot hatch market the S3 has four wheel drive, which gives it the edge when it comes to handling. The four wheel drive system, shifts power from back to front wheels to help keep the car glued to the tarmac.

The S3 is a typical Audi, in that everything feels beautifully finished and built to last. You can expect good reliability, too, and the standard A3 has consistently finished well above average in the JD Power customer satisfaction survey.

Being a bit of a boy racer’s dream, Essex Audi have a lot of new and used Audi S3 in Southend, will the typically Ford devotes be heading to Audi for their next hot hatch?
