The MSN Cars verdict: 4/5
That S3s take 10% of A3 sales is no surprise. Here is a hatchback with genuinely easily accessible performance that the majority of drivers can exploit and enjoy. It's an enticing package too, the changes make it look just different enough to entice a new band of customer.
They will like the five-door Sportback too, even if the purists insist that three-doors is the only way to go. The Imprezas and Evos are faster but they are light years away from the Audi's class or comfort. So at £27k the S3 looks like a great buy, though extras will quickly make your wallet wilt.
