A3/S3/RS3 [Official] 2014 Audi A3/S3 Sedan

The Audi A3 is a small family car (C-segment) manufactured by Audi AG. Production: 1996-
So I had the A3 Sedan 1.4T S-line for 24hrs, for a photoshoot for Audi Qatar.
Such a great little car. First of all, I am so sold on the exterior design. It just looks so good! Especially with that dark blue color together with 19" wheels and the S-Line package and the panoramic sunroof.
Everything feels to notch quality, and I really like the interior of it as well. I like the minimalism. I've driven the RS5, R8 and the S8 in the last week, and this car stacks up pretty well with those, and I would say it's like a mini S8. I can imagine that the S3 is such a pocket rocket. Congrats @Mr. Mercedes for a AMAZING car.

Here is just one pic so far.

In the UK at least I think Audi are on the crest of a wave with record sales month on month almost and their attitude seems to be if you don't want it someone else will and gladly. I reckon Australia are probably similar but this doesn't explain why AudiUK is listing the colour and Germany isn't, most strange. I can't understand why they would offer the colour on one market and not another.

I've already told them to stuff their cars, not because of Audi themselves but the dealer who were taken over by the biggest UK dealership that have a very unusual policy towards VAT free purchases. No point taking your thread OT but if you are interested send me a PM and I will explain.

I bought my R8 in the UK (left-hand drive as it happens) and exported it hassle free.

My VAT free is due to disability not exporting to another country. I'd dealt with this very dealership prior to being taken over for years hassle free but the new management want you to jump through hoops that were beyond belief and not required by the VAT office.

Like I said Audi have always been grand it's the dealer who's now sh1t.
 
I live in Holland, the same as Klier, and I haven't seen a single S3 yet, so maybe it's the usual hyperbole.

Yea, I just wanted to sound cool.

And where you live is not Holland. It's Limburg and it might as well be Belgium or Germany for all I care.
 
Stunning Photos Tumbo.

So I've decided, stuff Sepang Blue. With the uncertainty around the colour (it has supposedly been dropped from S3 Sedans, which would explain why I still don't have a build date), and the more I think about it, the less I want it. I'm not willing to wait indefinitely for a colour that may never eventuate.

This is what I am getting now. It was built 2 weeks ago and is about to be loaded onto the ship. I should have it end of June. :nailbiting:

Has anyone come across photos of an S3 sedan fitted with these wheels?

The Glacier white should make maintenance very easy (seems like I've got a thing for white cars).
 
^Congrats mate you can never really go wrong with white. Oh and no I haven't seen the RS4 rims on an S3 saloon, in fact I've yet to see an S3 saloon in person.

Should be a great combination with those wheels, I take it they are 20" or are they 19"?

Thanks Deck.

Those are 19"s. They're the same design as the 20" RS4 Wheels. I think this option may be unique to a few markets such as Australia because I'm yet to come across anyone with a sedan on these wheels. They look sublime on the RS4, so I'm hoping they will look good on the S3.

Oh trust me your car will look the dogs bollocks for sure. The great thing about Audi White is its the purest white of them all, our managers A5 S-Line in Glacier white and sat next to the wife's white X1 makes it look faded as if it needs a polish.

Can't wait for pics.
 
Thanks Tumbo. I've actually been checking out and liking your Facebook page.

Scuba looks great. Unfortunately not available on s3 sedans, otherwise it would have been a nice alternative to Sepang.
 

Audi

Audi AG is a German automotive manufacturer of luxury vehicles headquartered in Ingolstadt, Bavaria, Germany. A subsidiary of the Volkswagen Group, the company’s origins date back to the early 20th century and the initial enterprises (Horch and the Audiwerke) founded by engineer August Horch (1868–1951). Two other manufacturers (DKW and Wanderer) also contributed to the foundation of Auto Union in 1932. The modern Audi era began in the 1960s, when Volkswagen acquired Auto Union from Daimler-Benz, and merged it with NSU Motorenwerke in 1969.
