you don't look happy I told you I'm going through a mellow patch I thought
you asked for a yellow hatch
[Music]
this is the Vegas yellow obviously an option Audi s3 I actually like love the
color it's just there's something about it it's
Spotto I felt like I was giving joy to
everybody it's being the spotto car like yeah it's that kind of car isn't it yeah I
am confident enough to drive a yellow car a bright
yellow car that's it and particularly it's been a bit dreary yes it cuts a fine figure
on the road it's - I it's very Audi very all right so like calipers red
calipers you're all over that tick these headlights are the business so there was
an update to the a3/s3 line late last year these came as part of it it just
does like a scan of that like it it usew active headlights it looks
you up and down in a good way I like it what else come is part of the upgrade
oh they change the grille a bit so it's all yeah a little bit changed it's a nice
little jagged thing which you see on other of the new Audi's it's quite
nice already like it looks so good it's it's right now you can tell it's the s3 by
the silver on the caps and black rails and yeah now the badges and this is blacked
out too so bit of a s thing and yeah I like it and real fans will notice that the
S grilles are just a tiny bit wider I noticed that to make it look a tiny bit
wider so we're a fan of the looks yeah very cool let's take a look inside
I'm gonna say it - I didn't - there are boobs on the dashboard there are boobs
on the dashboard and I think that may explain some of the activity right okay
this stitching yes the seats are rocking oh
really yes and the stitching is like repeated like so the red red
stitching comes through with the with the steering
wheel stitching yes the Audi sport badging now I have often mocked you for your
love of the steering wheel it's coming home to
roost I like this steering wheel You know you and I were
talking about this before like there's something about these cars and I don't
you can't put your finger on it but you know like the steering wheel where you can
There's a package for the Active crew okay gotta pay extra for that because well
there's a packaeg on this which is the name escaped me it is yes the S
performance package which adds a bigger 19 inch wheels red brake callipers
magnetic ride yes yes yes and the B&O audio system which yeah I'm sure is good
but I don't care I do so I would absolutely yep yes yes now and then the
the seats are optional too the the with the the nice leather nappa
leather the donphan stitching there's about eight grand of options on this car
you don't need them all but gee they're good they're nice because there is a
lot of stuff on this car because you get your apple carplay Android auto the
stereo's good even the basic stereo dual-zone, heated seats - heated seats are
good, auto parking yep I didn't try that
but yes it's good we were driving to soccer and I was reversing in and
as we stopped my daughter said it's very considerate that the car turns the
music down so you could concentrate it's things like that that annoys me, I
don't know if you know but I'm a fan of the ABC Local but I'll be listening to a news
thing and just whack it in reverse to park and
it's like what no I don't know what Donald's done now what Peter is saying is he
likes to hear the sound of his own voice on radio and so when he's backing and it
and it turns down he cannot hear himself so he is distressed well I can't be driving a
car and on the radio at the same time so my vanity knows some bounds
you have to the back seat hasn't gotten an armrest or cupholders mmm
I'll forgive it and that's big when I forgive a cupholder faux pas you know this car's good
you can get decent sized kiddies in the back yeah I had all three in the back
yet three would be a stretch if any of them are more than about three feet tall though
again I'll forgive it I'll leave a kid behind
[Music]
not that long ago 213 kilowatts was preserved for very large v8s and now we're
getting in a two-liter four-cylinder turbo and it's quite drivable isn't it
like it's not - it's so driveable - the 380 Newton
meters of torque I believe which again is a truckload of torque and it goes like
a stuck rat you know sometimes I don't
want to feel like I'm driving a family car I want to feel like I'm driving a cool
car yep yes it is cool and it's so cool
I pulled up with you guys and he said now that's a nice I
know it is a lot yeah it is a nice car and like my neighbors I just talked
about this car a lot and there's a difference between people going oh yeah
and like really wanting to know about it then people really but you know
generally one of those two kids just really broke their necks looking at it and
it's what I mean kids like it because it's a spotto car
It's quite comfortable and it doesn't get on your nerves some some cars
like this can really get on your nerves when you're tired and had enough and
just want to drive home and don't want to
you know tear up the tarmac you know you were saying before that this one doesn't have
active cruise but it has this presense thing so it's got all the gear for it but
they just want to charge you for it The next car that I get, I would want it to
have active cruise you do spend a lot of time in traffic yeah because of that like
yeah I spend a lot of time in traffic you can get this in a six-speed manual
as well which is becoming it's a bit of a dying breed a manual performance car
yeah particularly from Germany the BMW has it I don't believe you can get a
performance Mercedes in manual anymore but you've got paddles paddles with a purpose
paddles are good but you know if you do want a manual you can get one which is
good to know I didn't know it was boobs and margarita oclock but apparently it
is oh my goodness if anyone's interested there's a large
amount of cleavage on this street corner ladies goodness me
[Music]
and for those who are playing along brand new seven-speed dual-clutch
transmission in this which is um chiltering through the Audi range are you
sure yep I am very sure but are you sure
I have checked - thrice checked - because sometimes
when we sure we're not so so we get it wrong slightly embarrassing it also the
transmission will also disconnect the rears when you're cruising to save fuel
so you get a bit of drag when the rears are driven but not really doing anything
and you just disconnect and it saves you you a few milliliters it's functional when
it needs to be and then when you want to go
for a burn like that oh she's getting racy but also too you can set it up to
have you know the suspension soft and the steering heavy or whatever you like with
your digital mode so it just works for everyone so the mellow yellow oh
not that mellow but very yellow yes give it to me I'm
gonna give it four and a half out of five of course you are I adore this car
this car is like it is you on wheels actually i love everything about this car and
like four and a half and i'm being really picky I would like some strip
lighting in it LED strip lighting not pole dance strip lighting the things I love about
it it's powerful it's got a smooth ride it looks
great color calipers all the things that just
I usually just don't even care about I adore and need in my life and must I
love this car I'm giving a four a couple of you know little things like no
cupholders or armrests in the back just little silly things like that it is a
very good car I really like this car a lot it's a lot of fun it's not as lively
as I want a car to be but not everyone wants that because I'm strange so yeah oh
and guess what but I've got the keys and you don't I know I want to keep this
car in fact I'm going to write a book the book
is called how to be your best self in one easy
step and do you know what that step is You buy an Audi S3!
A yellow one A yellow one
[Music]
