My 2017 S3 FINALLY arrived!

[hammbone50]

I picked the car up last Monday so only had a little less then a week. Coming from a e92 M3 so its a bit of a change that is for sure but really like the car and have been pleasantly surprised how much I enjoy it. Few things I have already noted, I think I am going to get a rear sway bar the car seems to push too much with the front end and just seems to need a bit of help feeling totally planted. I don't want to go bonkers on this car with a bunch of mods, but man the mod bug has me already looking at stuff!

As of now just got WeatherTech floor mats and I got dedicated snow tires and wheels.

Here are some initial pics, haven't had much time to get any decent ones. Daytona Gray.... loving the color!

I'm in the US so we didn't get a power bump at all from the 2015-2016's.

Yes. Still in the break in period so I have stomped on it yet, but 0-60 is 4.5 seconds or less. I think Car and Driver got 4.3 or 4.4 out of the car.... either way its a fun, fast little car. If you haven't driven one, go for a test drive I think it will really surprise you!

I don't know how hard they had to beat on the car to get it, but Car and Driver for the sedan shows 4.4....:

Can you take a couple of pics inside? Do you have virtual cockpit?

No doubt the day my car arrives is the day I leave to go on holiday. Least I will have something to look forward to on the way home.
