The Audi S3 Sportback is the ultimate version of the Audi A3, the BMW M135i hunting and Mercedes A45 AMG expensive. " Sportback " is five-door Audi - talk , which means that this car can be a breathtaking pace with the practical aspects of our favorite hatches. It is the second of three body styles - there is a S3 sedan comes, and - and is currently the most expensive A3/S3 range , but worth the extra money?
How hot hatch is the S3 Sportback ?
We really spoiled with hot hatches - and S3 Sportback offers performance notes that it is listed as a supercar, it was a few years ago . The four-cylinder 2.0-liter turbo engine, shared with the Golf R and in conjunction with that found in the VW Golf GTI is 296bhp , as it does in the three-door model . There are also 280 pounds feet of torque on tap from a low 1800rpm all the way to 5500rpm . Optional six-speed S- Tronic ( € 1,480 ) and that you will use to judge the paddles , quattro four-wheel drive and 18-inch rubber and adjust demand 4.9sec 0-62 mph . This is just one tenth behind the three door 30 kg lighter and easier to deal with the deficit in the 0.3s behind the A45 AMG , making £ 5.105 lower entry prices .

What is special about the Sportback ?
Space. The five-door , you can throw in the commercial center of the back seat , lots of friends or move large objects (use your imagination ) easier. Not only the rear seats for easy entry and exit , there is actually more space : 15L more than the three-door S3 with the seats able to become an advantage 120L - 1180L for a total of - with them folded . You pay € 620 more privilege, and while the 1445 kg is more than the three-door is 70 kg less than the previous model - which had 29bhp less. Convinced ?

It is a question of power, though, as it is to drive ?
You did not read the last time an Audi loaded with character . But this is what the S3 Sportback. The exterior has the S3, the chunky bumpers, roof spoiler with 18in alloys and signature silver mirrors. You prefer to be behind the wheel with a flat bottom , however, lies in the comfortable leather armchairs nourished still favorable peering through the gray - white needles on the gauges .
Adjust the driver's seat dancing on the pedals in stainless steel , click the start button on the console and mash the right pedal - and S3 chips in life. Bassy of the day , the 2.0 - liter four - pot targeted and discreet sound. It seems powerful should not overshadow the drive if you're easily rolled through the city firmly on the suspension but not crashy , but give it full beans and reverse steps in the spotlight with your Touring- esque almost metallic . Your fingers to feel the grooves shift paddles , as you listen again to another machine that blows a pleasure thrust Sportback ' to pull forward . Corners? Body control tight, very good seats and brilliant traction again excellent traction for a quick exit , with current distribution soon .

The S3 is a breath and take the necessary steps cars from VW group low -spec - as GTI - not only in the acceleration figures , features and price , but also in the overall experience. This is not the last word in driver involvement , but the blend of sophistication , functionality and beautiful touch cabin are a serious player .
