Most intuitive/capable driving experience for spirited (primarily) city driving. Enough gumption to be incredibly fun with minor hooning, precise handling, grown up enough to meet threshold business requirements.

Piano black plastic in cockpit and on dash is a huge miss. Open pore black ash would’ve been easy solve. Charge $1000 for the kit, and you’ll get it. This isn’t a Golf R after all.

Excellent choice for a compact luxury sport sedan. S3 is fun to drive and practical with AWD.

No dislikes

There is not one thing to dislike in this car. From inside the cabin to the exterior to the craftsmanship of the engine and exhaust sounds. The car is truly a beautiful symphony! My favorite thing of the car is the sport exhaust. It crackles and gurgles just at the right moments.

The only thing that I dislike and this my own opinion. Keep in mind I come from driving cars with crazy high mpg’s. This car really is a gas eater, especially if you live in the suburbs and a bit worse in the city. The tank is pretty big which is a positive.
