Want to know everything there is to know about this car?

In their own words

My second S3 having owned a 8L version previously. Remapped to 325bhp which is a no brainer otherwise this car is DULL and unresponsive to drive. The handling is below par and understeer happy (as is a trait of Audi's from this gen) and it will not set any tracks alight, but on the road the quattro is great for real life driving and British weather. Not particularly well dampened so don't expect a comfortable ride on B roads however you should be going so fast you don't care. Seat position is not great or very adjustable but the dash and interior is peerless. In summary my golf GTi on a dry day was a better handling more enjoyable drive, but the S3 is always quicker and a lot nicer place to be sat.
