What do you br/o/s think of the 2016 Audi S3 and Audi in general?
Anyone got any advice good or bad about this car or the brand? Specifically how would you compare it to the BMW 340i?
My car's fucked and it's a shitbox and it's time I class it up a bit since I'm in sales. My company is going to kick in $300 bucks a month towards a lease on either a BMW, MB, Audi, or Land Rover. It must be four doors and seat four people. I've seen a lot of hate around here lately against BMW so I've been checking out Audi. MB is way out of my price range if I want something sporty, and I do.
Right now Audi is giving away the 2016 S3 because there is a mid-cycle update coming out for the 2017 S3's, which only adds a couple of HP and a few tweaks to the front end which IMHO aren't even noticeable. I have to admit I find the interior on the Audi's a lot nicer than the less expensive BMW's.

This pic is the 2017. You can see minor differences in the grill. If you get the lighting package on the 2016 (which I will) they look the same in that regard.

Audi in general? Caters to ragheads and people who don't give a shit about cars but want something that makes the neighbours jealous.
As for the S3, shitty Haldex trash.

It makes for a fine daily driver but if you want something fun get the 340i.

It's a shitty vw for badgewhores. It's the same as the golf r for 10k more. Get a used ls460 or m56 and call it a day.

Ok thanks. Can you tell me a bit more about Haldex? That is the AWD system correct?
>>15058541
Can you expand on why you think the 340i is more fun? How specifically?
I'm most interested in the driving experience.

Yeah I'd love to get used but if I want the company to kick in the money it has to be a new lease and it will be in the company's name. I have the option to take over the lease if I were to lose my job etc.
So for $200-300 a month I get to drive a new luxury sports car. Not a bad deal I think.

Not him, but Haldex is on-demand AWD that keeps the car in FWD mode unless it detects slippage. Understeer persists, correction only occurs when you're already steering into a tree. A4 and up use quattro (persistent awd)

Don't worry about their fucking money. Do it yourself. And if you're too poor for that then shut up and buy a Mazda 6.

Awesome thanks.
