The 2017 Audi S3: before you buy
We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 2017 Audi S3 for sale by us right now. Here is the 2017 Audi S3 for buyers: fuel use, size, recalls and a test drive that lasts a week.
Recalls and complaints
A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car.
Under the hood
It uses the 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo and all-wheel drive. The turbo gives a small engine the pull of a bigger one when you need it. All-wheel drive sends power to all four wheels, which helps on snow and wet roads; good tires still matter most.
A combined rating of 9.9 L/100 km works out to about 30 litres per 300 km. Expect about $17.33 per 100 km at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$3,400 a year for 15,000 miles.
When the S3 makes sense
It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next. It suits client visits, weddings and special weekends.
Size and space
It is a straightforward car to drive, park and live with. At 283 litres, the trunk fits about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.
Rent it for a week first
A week with the S3 answers more than any brochure. Rent the S3 first, and buy only if it fits your life. Rent first, buy later: a week with the S3 answers the big questions.
Picking a year and a trim
Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. Within the 2017 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires.
The cost of driving it
A 1,000 km month costs roughly $173.30 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$3,400 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. Premium gas adds to the running cost compared with a car on regular.
Still deciding?
Ask about renting first, and buy with a clear head.
Rent it for a week before you buy
A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Rent a 2017 Audi S3 from us first.
