Why we love the Audi S3
We wouldn't have thought it possible for a performance car to be just as good for daily use. But Audi has hit the nail on the head.
And four generations later, it continues to impress.
The S3 excels in a few areas. As an upmarket hot hatch, it leans more towards the elegant side. But it's not just a pretty face, and thanks to the powerful engine, it packs a punch once you hit the accelerator.
It's this combination of striking looks and sheer power that makes the S3 stand out in its segment.
Plenty of choice
Shopping for that perfect car can be frustrating, we get it. You may have fallen in love with a particular model but it's not quite ticking all of the boxes...
That's why the Audi S3 is so popular.
Based on the compact Audi A3, this model is available in two versions: a five-door hatchback (Sportback) and a four-door saloon. Both of which you can find in our second-hand listings.
Importantly, this gives you choice. Whether you need extra accessibility for child car seats, extra space for luggage, or extra passenger comfort, those options are available with the S3.

Turbocharged performance
Not only does this car look sporty, but it's thrilling to drive. It boasts a turbocharged engine that gives maximum output and greater horsepower. In other words, it's pretty fast.
Offering rapid acceleration from a standstill and bursts of speed on open roads, the Audi S3 is small but mighty.
Then there's the precise steering, making tight corners and car parks easy to navigate. You'll also be thankful for the supportive seating, especially if you have a few miles to cover.
Controlled driving, whatever the weather
Heading out in heavy rain or cold weather comes with its own set of challenges, making even a drive to the shops more demanding. Then there's the occasional tough terrain to deal with.
And you don't have to live in the mountains to encounter a windy road or two.
Like many of Audi's models, the S3 comes with the Quattro four-wheel-drive system. This gives the car that little bit of extra traction and grip, allowing for strong performance in all conditions. It also offers much-needed adaptability, increasing your control behind the wheel and your confidence on the road.
How fuel-efficient is the Audi S3?
For a high-performance car, it has an impressive fuel economy - averaging between 40 mpg to 44 mpg. This makes it relatively cost-effective.
So, an appealing option for those who want dynamic driving as well as those who use their car frequently, either for work, the school run, or both.
How does the Audi S3 compare to similar models?
The Audi S3 stands out as a high-performance vehicle that can be used for the everyday. Tricky to pull off!
It's also more of an elegant take on the sporty aesthetic, perfect for those who are looking for a bit more refinement.
Size-wise, it sits in the middle of the Audi S1 and the Audi S4. This gives it just the right balance between agility and interior space, making it suitable for family trips as well as travelling around town.
More of a fan of the BMW brand? Look no further than the BMW 2 Series. Viewed as a close rival to the Audi S3, it’s similar in size and offers a sleek design and sharp steering. They’re close in price too, so it’s entirely up to personal preference.
What is the difference between the Audi S3 and the Audi A3?
Although similar in lots of ways, the all-important 'S' distinguishes the Audi S3 from its counterpart:
- To drive: It comes equipped with a more powerful engine, sports suspension and multiple driving modes
- To look at: The S3 has more aggressive styling, with large alloy wheels and a platinum single-frame grille
- Practicality: You get a decent amount of space with the S3, although the boot capacity of the hatchback version is slightly less than the A3 equivalent (325 litres). Due to the shape of the saloon version, the boot opening is on the smaller side. But there's still plenty of room for your luggage.
- Safety: As an Audi car, it's safe to say that you shouldn't be worried in this department. The S3, like the A3, comes packed with safety features, including adaptive cruise control, lane departure warning, and automatic emergency braking.
At Exchange and Mart, we have an extensive selection of second-hand Audi cars to explore - from smaller city cars to sports cars and luxury convertibles.
