Panther Black with Black Leather + 100% HPI Clear with certificate + Lovely spec + Full History. This is the facelifted Audi S3, adding some feistier front intakes, more angles to the LED headlights, and crowd-pleasing scrolling indicators. It's a handsome and modern bit of kit but crucially, if you ripped off the S3 badges and let those quadruple exhausts acquire a film of winter grime, it's still subtle enough to be a Q-car. The look on an unsuspecting Civic Type R driver's face? Priceless. Plus the Sportback is vastly roomier in the back than say, a Mercedes A-Class, and the rigorously square boot can transport 340 litres, if you like litres. Or three suitcases. Audi topped up the 2.0-litre turbo motor by 10bhp, taking its total to 306bhp, along with a 15lb/ft bump to 295lb/ft. Token power gains maybe, but the S3 is an exceedingly quick point-to-point car. Quattro isn't infallible, the traction control light will blink on wet or frosty roads as the computers bung more power to the rear tyres, but once it's hooked up, which takes a split-second, you'd have to be a complete lunatic to uncover a speed deficit to an RS3 on a public road. In fact, the S3 suffers less lag, isn't as nose-heavy, and is extremely rapid. This one looks fabulous in Panther Black, the bodywork is arrow straight, and the alloys, unmarked. The car impresses with its high level of quality; the overall precision evident in the fit and finish of the exterior is carried through to its excellent interior, which remains the undisputed standard-setter in the class. Meticulously maintained from new it boasts full history ( PDI and print at 8k, 20k, 25k, 31k inc Haldex, 46k inc sparks and 56k inc Haldex) and it will be fully prepared and freshly MOT'd done prior to collection. 100% HPI clear and supplied complete with two keys, books etc. together with a comprehensive 6 months RAC warranty and years breakdown cover all with the advertised price - we do not charge any hidden 'administration' fees. Our verdict: Ultimate Hot Hatch
