Audi S3 Sportback gets 4G Internet
Audi has fitted the new Audi S3 Sportback with optional 4G Internet and will be available on all A3 variants from November
Audi has unveiled its plan to integrate a superfast 4G data connection in the new S3 Sportback, with the full A3 family being fitted with the technology from November.
The 4G connection will enable passengers to transfer and download large amounts of data such as music and HD films, via the Internet, taking in-car entertainment to the next level. Social media sites such as Twitter and Facebook have also been made vehicle-friendly with a text-to-speech function and pre-prepared text templates.
The 4G connection will also have its benefits for the driver too, delivering up-to-the-minute information regarding the latest traffic and weather situation, as well as a distance and pricing function for nearby petrol stations and car parks.
Only available with Audi’s Technology pack, the 4G connection also requires a suitable SIM card with data plan, in order for it to work. Once passengers have connected their laptops, mobile phones or tablets to the car's WLAN hotspot, they will be able to browse the web or watch a film independently from one another.
The Audi S3 Sportback with 4G connection is available to buy now.

Audi High Performance Days hit my town this weekend. I went for a short drive in the S3 today (they had an RS6 too but it was fully booked 
)... In many respects, it reminded me a lot of my Octavia, but having AWD certainly made a difference when accelerating out of roundabouts.... also, the very, very sensitive brakes took some getting used to.

Oulus järjestettiin? Tuleekos siitä mitään juttua johonki lehteen?

First S3 Sportback drive are here.
There are plenty of reasons to, given that all the usual accolades apply. The S3 scores typically highly in handsomeness, usability, refinement, comfort and, with the Sportback especially, practicality.
Its emissions are not criminally high and although 40.4mpg is hopelessly optimistic (we averaged around 26mpg), the car is relatively cheap to run considering its potential performance. And if, for you, the latter means steadfast grip and cosseted thrust beyond all else, then our subjective issues with it are mere blemishes on another polished product.
However, for us, its ultimate inability to inspire a genuine fondness for its dynamic prowess is an obstacle. Once upon a time, this would have been overcome by shopping for a lower-rent hot hatch – something we’d encourage you to still consider now, given what’s currently available below £30k – but that’s not the case now. Mercedes’ A45 AMG and BMW’s M135i have provided serious alternatives to the Audi way, and while neither is free from flaws, both are better endowed to accommodate thrill seekers’ expectations.

The Sportback isn’t as quick as the A45 AMG or as fun as the M135i, but it’s still desirable. It’s surprisingly refined and blisteringly fast, with superb cabin quality. It costs around £2,000 more than the BMW, although it has a serious price advantage over the A45 AMG, at more than £4,000 cheaper.

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.
