In this video from The Fast Lane Car, we delve into the world of the revamped Audi S3, a car that sits snugly between the A3 and the track-focused RS3. The S3 faces off against competitors like the Acura Integra Type S, BMW m235, and Mercedes CLA in the small sporty sedan segment. Audi has upped the ante with the S3, boosting its power to 328 horsepower and adding a torque splitter for improved performance on the road. The enhancements under the hood promise a zippy 0-60 time of 4.4 seconds, making it a force to be reckoned with in its class.

Stepping inside the Audi S3, you're greeted by a luxurious interior that exudes German precision and craftsmanship. Real buttons, a new transmission selector, and a hybrid sunroof add to the overall premium feel of the cabin. The attention to detail is evident in the stitching and overall layout, showcasing Audi's commitment to quality. The reviewer highlights the ample headroom and legroom, making it a comfortable fit even for taller individuals, emphasizing the blend of comfort and performance in this small sedan.

Moving to the practical aspects, the trunk space is explored, revealing a decent storage area suitable for everyday needs. The Audi S3 comes with a price tag starting at around $50,000, with various optional packages available to customize the driving experience further. Despite the increasing cost of premium cars in today's market, the Audi S3 stands out as a compelling choice for those seeking a balance between speed, luxury, and everyday usability. Overall, the Audi S3 shines as a Goldilocks option in the lineup, offering a blend of sportiness and practicality without the extreme focus of its RS3 sibling.
