Notes

The Audi S3 8V is part of the 2013 third-generation series consisting of a Sedan, a Hatchback, a Cabriolet, and a Sport back configurations. These four vehicles differ in layout, with no tremendous mechanical changes happening under the hood. The S3 8V is the four-door sedan version, coming with a front-engine/all-wheel-drive configuration and a 2.0L DOHC turbocharged 16V inline-4 gasoline engine. Its max power gets to 300Bhp. The transmission comes as a 6-speed manual or 7-speed automatic optional option. The 3318 Lbs body of this German vehicle can reach a top speed of around 155Mph, going from 0-62 Mph in 5.1 seconds. Its combined fuel consumption of 9.8L/100km puts it right on the edge of the highly efficient, low-cost vehicle.

The overall performance and high-end details of the Audi S3 8V stand out over its competitors in the $32000 price range. The high-quality components and building materials improve its performance enormously. It comes with Continental ExtremeContact DWS06 225/40R18 tires on both axles, supported by a McPherson strut, Multi-link suspension type, and vented discs braking system with ABS. The simplicity of its design captivates potential new owners looking for a budget-friendly, modern daily driver with a stylish presentation. The Audi S3 8V represents the traditional German vehicle that welcomes its customers with a touch of modernity and a clocklike dependability every car enthusiast strives for and loves.
