Question 1

What did the S3 Sportback 2.0 TFSI quattro S tronic cost new in Australia?

Accepted Answer

No data. Audi Australia's S3 specification guides do not print variant prices, only option and package prices, and this one states that authorised Audi dealers will provide up-to-date information on individual model pricing. No Audi Australia document prices any A3 or S3 variant between February 2010 and December 2016.

Question 2

How quick is it?

Accepted Answer

Audi quoted 5 seconds to 100 km/h and a top speed of 250 km/h, governed. The manual version of the same car is quoted at 5.4 seconds.

Question 3

How much fuel does it use?

Accepted Answer

6.9 L/100km combined and 159 g/km of CO2, measured to Australian Design Rule 81/02. Those are certified figures rather than observed ones, and a car driven the way an S3 invites will not see them.

Question 4

Does it have shift paddles?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The standard flat-bottomed multifunction sports steering wheel carries shift paddles on the S tronic car.

Question 5

What does it weigh?

Accepted Answer

Audi published an unladen weight of 1,520 kg on the EC Directive 92/21/EEC basis, which includes a 68 kg driver, 7 kg of luggage and a 90 per cent full tank. That is not the same measure as a kerb weight or a tare mass, so we record the gross vehicle weight of 2,005 kg, which is unambiguous, and leave the kerb and tare fields empty rather than publish a figure on a basis the rest of the site cannot compare against.

Question 6

How big is the boot, and how long is the car?

Accepted Answer

No data. Audi Australia has never published exterior dimensions or luggage capacity for the A3 family in any era or any format, and we do not fill those in from another market's document.

Question 7

Does it have an ANCAP rating?

Accepted Answer

No data on this row. The specification guide carries no crash-test result and we never carry a rating across from a related model or model year. Standard safety equipment was dual front airbags, front side airbags, a head-level curtain airbag, a driver's knee airbag, ESC with ABS, ASR and EDL, and a tyre pressure monitor.
