AUDI A3

Our Audi S3 Cabriolet is great to drive and fantastic to sit in. It's one of the best used convertibles you can buy.

The Audi S3 isn't your traditional Cabriolet. How so? Well, during its infancy (the '70s and '80s), the class was far from concerned with luxury, yet that's arguably the S3's defining attribute.

Based on the premium 2013-2020 Audi A3 and sitting one step below the hyper Audi RS3, this S3 offers pace comparable with the 2013-2020 Volkswagen Golf R's – in fact, the two cars are mechanically related.

Your engine is a 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder petrol. Early cars got 296bhp, with this amount upped to 306bhp during 2016. Power went back to the former figure in 2019 – emissions regulations are responsible for that.

Officially, 0-62mph is delivered in 4.6sec with the 306bhp output and 4.7sec with the 296bhp one. All S3s have four-wheel drive and you can choose between a six-speed manual and a quick-shifting auto' gearbox.

Handling is seriously impressive. The S3 eats corners and you'll have to be going very fast to make it break a sweat. Grip and composure is so strong, in fact, that you might be left craving a bit more playfulness.

The steering is precise and well weighted in normal mode. Ramp it up to dynamic mode, mind you, and it gets a bit too heavy without delivering any more feel.

Adjustable dampers were available – they were optional from new on the Sportback model and standard on the saloon and convertible – but even the standard suspension strikes a good balance between comfort and handling. The ride is firm at low speed, but, seeing as this is a performance car, it's perfectly acceptable.

The S3's interior is very similar to the regular A3's, that is to say good, with an excellent driving position that is multi-adjustable in the seats and steering wheel.

The dashboard is wonderfully minimalist, with an infotainment system that's controlled by a dial between the seats. It's easy to navigate and allows you to keep your eyes on the road easily. What controls are left work with a pleasing precision.

Space up front is plentiful and there's good space for two – three at a pinch – in the rear.

The entry-level S3 gets 18in alloys, a lowered sports suspension, a sporty bodykit, a quad-exhaust system, a Nappa leather upholstery and heated front seats. Black Edition trim adds tinted rear windows, lots of gloss black exterior trim and a Bang & Olufsen stereo system.

The official fuel consumption figure for the S3 is 39.8mpg, according to the older NEDC tests which were prevalent at the time.

This car is truly stunning.
