The AUDI A3 SALOON (2013-16) S3 4DR SALOON QUATTRO 2.0 TFSI SS 300 EU6 6SPD is a compact, premium four-door saloon with sporty performance and all-weather traction. It sits above mainstream family cars in price and pace, offering a more discreet alternative to larger executive saloons while retaining useful everyday practicality. This S3 suits drivers who want a comfortable commuter or small-family car that feels exciting on open roads, without the bulk of an SUV. Its 300-horsepower petrol engine, four-wheel drive and six-speed manual bring brisk acceleration and confident grip; expect running costs to reflect its performance rather than a basic A3. Among rivals such as the Mercedes CLA and BMW’s compact models, the A3 S3 stands out for its understated styling and everyday usability. Mycarcheck recorded 625 look-ups covering 145 VINs; average valuation was £15,300, mileage 72,000 and annual use 6,000 miles. Checks showed three to four previous keepers.
