Audi has always had a knack for creating fast and very usable performance cars which fly under the radar, and the S3 is a great example of this. With a decent level of power but a healthy dose of practicality, the S3 has become a popular ‘everyday’ performance car and a popular used buy, too.

Overall rating 4.5/5We’re focusing on the third-generation S3 - on-sale between 2013 and 2020 - as it’s the one that you’ll see most frequently on the used market. It was also the age of S3, which cemented this car’s place as a go-to performance car that could still be used on a day-to-day basis. With a high-performance engine, the S3 remains an exciting choice but, as a practical hatchback, saloon or convertible, it’s still got a decent level of space.
