Audi S3 Sepang Blue by RyebreadPics, on Flickr
If you have an S3 on order, you have made the right decision.
I am coming from a tuned Golf R (best for tossing around and wicked raw fun - stage 2+), and a 335D (probably the best highway car in the states).
I've had a lot of cars. The S3? This is the best all-arounder.
Certainly, the S3 is an amazing "swiss army knife"! But you knew that, you're here on this forum!

Audi S3 Sepang Blue - 3M Color Stable Automotive Window Film 35% TSER CS50
Size matters. This car is perfect. Perfect size for me and my needs.
The chassis. The driving position. It's all so magical.
Something about the high lines of the doors, the round vents, the shape of the side mirrors,and this chassis -makes me feel like I'm driving a TT!
S-Tronic/DSG, my 2nd go-around. It's just amazing.
I moved my Golf R comparisons to a future post that I made (a few down) - to clean this up a bit and make room.
Notes:
- Geico doesn't have the s3 logged yet.
So I'm getting a3 rates for prolly around 6 months or so.
Insurance card says S3, though.
Title says 2015 Audi!
-I didn't get mag ride, sorry y'all.
One reason, I own 19" HRE wheels from the R, which you will see below. They are wrapped in Michelin pss.
I also didn't want to be tied to mag ride. But believe me, it was a tough call. It's a great option! I'm sort of jelly of everyone who has it!

2013 Golf R (rising blue) is gone!

Golf R, Unitronic Stage 2 + HPFP, Unitronic Exhaust, Unitronic Intake
It was a REALLY fantastic car to drive. I never took the short way home. EVER.
I have to get shout-outs to the following:
Unitronic, their intake/tune/exhaust is amazing. Their guys know what they're doing, and they are a lot of fun to work with.
CB Tuning, near Allentown PA. Their team is the same. Down-2-earth, friendly, respectful, great tech! Great service!
But the most important thing about both companies, they know how to treat people!!!
Cheers,
Ryan
