Best spontaneous purchase ever.
My car accelerates quickly, has amazing handling and is stunning. My car is tango red and I have the black optics. It is reliable, and gets great gas mileage. I love being able to switch to manual on the fly. It was the most expensive spontaneous purchase I have ever made and I would buy it again in a heartbeat!

Experience of Audi s3 premium plus.
It's a great model well known car from an international famous brand Audi. Its performance is remarkable and confident. Excellent relaxing driving for any kinds of road and occasion. Extra comfortable features with very attractive and fashionable design. I think it built for the people who want to complete the desire as a car owners. I really love this car. It's like a family member to me.

Audi s3 larger than you would expect very fast.
I love the s3 I was surprised how roomy it was inside the cab, I have had an s4 and an a5 before but this is just and quick sounds great and better on gas. I am over 6ft tall and I fit great. The tech package with the digital display and gauges works perfectly. Super sporty and fun to drive great in all weather. Only complaint is that I feel like the windshield wipers squeak a lot.

The virtual dashboard along with the center dash screen is great.
Car is faster and accelerates quickly when needed in freeways and highways for passing. It is also small enough to maneuver in tight spots or in parking lots. Visibility is good and comfort of the car when traveling in the car is good as well. Backup camera adds safety and virtual dashboard adds some flair to car while driving.

Audi a3 is the best car ever.
I love the Audi s3. It is my first time owning a luxury car and I love it so much. It is so economical in gas and cheap. I'drives so smooth and is very comfortable for long car rides. It has every feature I would want in a car such as car sensor car camera, Bluetooth, carplay and etc.

My vehicle is hundred percent very safe and secure.
My Audi allows me to drive in comfort while feeling one hundred percent safe. Never have I ever had a feeling I didn't feel safe. It has airbags on each side of every door and on the whole roof of the car. It is reliable and it is motor is fast and sharp.
