I had a 225bhp S3 for six weeks before I sold it on (for my RS4) 'cause I hated it.

The front seats don't fold foward enough (unlike the cloth seats) for people to get into the back easily, the front screen takes ages to demist, and off boost performance is piss poor - no power at all, and the six speed box is a pain in the arse. Don't buy one - my mate bought a 150bhp A3 FWD with the five speed box - much nicer, fun to drive, and not slow either
