Smaller, cheaper S4 - Meh.

 

[Stotty]

Understeer.

Meh

 

[TheCracker]

No VR6. Largely owned by knob heads. Uncool.

 

[Roger the Horse]

Includes the most horrible wheels ever fitted to a factory vehicle.

 

[Legro]

Chances are, it's not really a S3, but just an A3 diesel, driven by an idiot who thinks he's fooling someone.

 

[Wiegert]

An Audi that attracts the same sort of drivers who currently thrash about in some of the other A4 platform hot hatches (or warm hatch in case of the Mk 4 Golf GTI). Thought at least you could get versions of the Golf and Cupra with a VR6.

Uncool. The lot of them.

 

[GTRacer22]

Bland styling. Ugly wheels. Meh.

 

[SomePlayaDude]

Nothing impressive if your aim is to look like an EK Civic.

It does seem like a German EK Type R

 

[MatskiMonk]

Ugly Audi Golf driven by Audi drivers.

 

[Adamgp]

Bland looking hatchback.

SU.

 

[SVT Cobra GT]

Fallen into the slammed crowd.

Resounding nope.

This. But seriously.

 

[Niku Driver HC]

It is an old Audi A3, and it doesn't have a VR6. Then, you have to live with the bad reputation that most Audi owners have, which starts with a "c" and ends with a "k". The other VAG Group hot hatches of the S3's time at least had some cool features, like @Wiegert said.

Not quite good enough. Uncool.

Chipmunk?

 

[Famine]

Chipmunk?

Cyberpunk.

 

[Niku Driver HC]

Chipmunk?

Cyberpunk.

How funny, both of you. No, the word you are looking for has another "c" in the middle...

 

[Famine]

Carsick? Checkmark? Calicoback?

 

[TheCracker]

Cowlick?

 

[Niku Driver HC]

Carsick? Checkmark? Calicoback?

God dang it, do I have to say it? I don't want to get banned for swearing... Come on Famine, you are British, you should know by now, haha.

Cossack? checkclerk?

 

[Niku Driver HC]

Well cock-a-doodle-do, I just said the word. No need to guess now, huh?

 

[Legro]

cock-a-doodle-do

But that doesn't end with a "k".

 

[Niku Driver HC]

But that doesn't end with a "k".

Did I say you had to include all the words? You could just keep one from the start (of the word wink wink).

 

[Famine]

Well cock-a-doodle-do, I just said the word. No need to guess now, huh?

Is that a chicken impression? Is it "Cluck"?

 

[Niku Driver HC]

Is that a chicken impression? Is it "Cluck"?

There is no way past your sense of witty humor, huh? I am fighting a losing battle here, it seems.

 

[Dagger311]

SU. Old Audi hatchback. Not a classic, just old.

When I do see these, they're always being driven by young badge snobs who didn't want a Golf because "Ew VW."

 

[Leonidae@MFT]

Sub Zero. AWD, 6-speed transmission, 3-door hatchback and plenty of performance potential, not to mention cheap parts due to parts bin sharing with VW..

Well I was born with one, blame nature, pretty sure there are plenty more of those out there no matter the make of transportation


Owning one, I need to put the SZ to it too. @Leonidae@MFT pretty much got it. AWD+Turbo =

Just FYI, the 1.8t is lighter, cheaper, more reliable than the VR6...And Audi never owned the VR6. Also better built quality than the variants of it (GTI/Curpa)
