Used Sports Cars: Audi S3 – Sports Cars
Who among you doesn't spend hours searching for used sports cars online? The last interesting car we found among used sports cars is penultimate generation Audi S3equipped with an engine 2.0-liter TFSI turbo petrol with 265 hp. The S3s from 2006 to 2008 are exclusively 3-door and from 2008 they are also available in Sportback up to 5 sizes. Both versions, starting in 2008, also underwent a rather important restyling, which made them more modern. In fact, from an aesthetic point of view, this is one of the oldest cars of the German brand.
In addition, it was one of the first all-wheel-drive sports compact cars with a good degree of versatility, as well as the first among the premium models.
The Motor The 2.0 TFSI develops 265 hp. at 6.000 rpm and a torque of 350 Nm at 2.500 rpm, enough to start an Audi S3 from 0-100 km / h in 5,7 seconds up to maximum speed 250 km / h.
Following the Audi tradition, S3 is a whole "four", with a setting that favors the rear axle for a sportier driving experience. This makes the S3 more comfortable and versatile, but it certainly doesn't improve fuel economy. The stated average is 11 km / h, but the data seems to us at least optimistic.
Another small issue is the overtax (it's over 15hp), but that's a small amount of effort to face considering used car prices...
