Audi S3: Another nice review

Autocar has a nice review of the Audi S3. Don't get fooled by their title, it's the Audi S3, not the Audi A3 which the have tested.

Audi has been on a roll of late, what with the excellent new TT, the fine-to-drive RS4 and the downright delicious R8.

On the road the S3 is blindingly good; as quick in a straight line as it is agile across a winding B-road. It is hard to think of many vehicles at any price that would be faster – or more secure – over a wet English B-road.

Yet the S3 is far from uncivilised. Yes, the ride is firm compared with that of a regular family hatchback, but never does the S3 go too far. In fact, it’s probably the best-riding, most comfortable quick car Audi has ever made. In quick corners it’s also beautifully balanced, not to mention astonishingly grippy, be the road surface wet or dry.

There’s even a small amount of adjustability engineered into the chassis, which allows a good driver the ability to tailor the cornering line by playing with the throttle.
