So what’s so special about the Audi S3?

The particular car model has a lot of things going for it. It is every man’s car, and students and middle class workers drive in it. Yet despite being relatively affordable, Audi S3 deals don’t sacrifice on style. It’s precisely this combination of style and affordability that makes the Audi S3 very popular among students.

For 2009, the Audi S3 has undergone some upgrades. Chief among them are the front hood and fenders: they have been repainted with a stronger brush. The car also has new door handles and mirrors fitted with blinkers. But the perhaps the best thing about it is that drivers have a choice of wheel designs.

The three-door A3 is not sold in North America, but its five-door version is being sold in the United States as well as in Europe. But you’d glad to know that you’re really not missing anything without the three-door A3. This is because the five-door version is really better looking between the two.

An Audi wouldn’t be an Audio without its cool LED strips, which come with its optional bi-xenon package.

Apart from the cosmetic facelift, you also get a choice of different engines. If you are on Europe, you can choose from eight (8) different engines, with six of them being direct-injection 4-cylinder engines with turbocharge feature. Five of these eight engines are gasoline engines, with powers ranging from 101 horsepower for the 1.6-liter engine, to 261 hp for the 2.0-liter turbo engine. Three turbo-diesel engines can generate from between 104 hp and 168 hp. Power-addicted drivers in Europe can order a five-door Audi with a 2.0 liter turbo engine.

If you’re in North America, you should know that the 3.2-liter V-6 engine model is available for your driving. This particular engine has a dual-clutch transmission. The Audi A3 also has an adaptive shock absorber dubbed the “Magnetic Ride.”

If you’re bored driving or are struck in traffic, the Audi S3 has more playing options.
