REVIEW

The Audi S3 has always been about one thing – subtle performance. Others in the VAG group may have similar performance but they all shout about it a bit more – the Audi S3 has always been more about getting from A to B really quickly, under the radar. The styling changes from the regular S-Line A3 are minimal to the average passer-by, only the quad tailpipes give anything away. But under the unassuming bodywork lies a 2.0-litre turbo engine producing 310 bhp in a lighter body than before, meaning 0-62 mph takes just 4.6 seconds. With their legendary Quattro drivetrain, the S3 is a performance car for all seasons, too.
