Currently own a ‘15 S3 with 130k+ miles. Nothing really major to report for me outside of some known common issues with this generation (water pump, PODS, etc). Car has been great and honestly easy to maintain if you can DIY oil changes, brakes, and DSG fluid changes.
Pros: easy to maintain
Cons: known common issues
Vehicle:
Audi S3
Mileage: 130000 km
My S3 seems to be at 222F all summer when commuting, I think it gets near 240F after a good autocross run
Pros: high temperature autocross

Blasted through a Salt Lake winter storm a few weeks ago with these. Were amazing on my S3 so I highly recommend. I'm very happy with the continentals though!
Pros: amazing in winter storm

Got a 2014 DSG and find around town it’s 22-26 mpg but 35 on long motorway runs.
Pros: manageable brakes
Cons: insurance isn’t great

I specced it when I blew the turbocharger on my MQB Audi S3. Audi wanted almost $29,000.00. It turns out that all I needed was a new turbocharger and a cleaning of the impeller shards from my intercooler.

I bought a 2017 S3 with 40k kms, best car I’ve owned so far, had to replace the water pump but I swear the OEM one is made of cardboard. No more expensive than any other car to service.
Pros: best car I’ve owned
Cons: OEM made of cardboard

im running XP10s... so far this set up is amazing, the braking is strong initial bite with little fade. Just take in consideration that this Carbotech pads are modular which means you will have a slight longer pedal travel than normal. And yes they are super noisy, when i drive it on the street i try to be careful with my braking and not feather the brakes, that will make then literally screech and grind the rotors, instead i try to brake a bit harder than usual to get a good bite and then let go of the brake once i stoped (put the car in neutral most of the time or creep forward little by little to releave some heat).
Pros: amazing set up, strong initial bite, little fade
Cons: slight longer pedal travel, super noisy on street, screech and grind rotors

I recently did a brembo 18z caliper install and sadly my Audi s3 wheels do not clear the calipers. Plenty of room around the barrel, but the spokes hit. i will be adding a 10mm spacer to make them fit.
Pros: plenty of room around barrel
Cons: spokes hit calipers

Audi doesn't have the best record with water pumps and housings. On the 8V S3, the pump would start to leak, but it would drip onto the splash guard and never make it to the ground. The only signs were coolant smell and frequently needing to top off the coolant.
Cons: prone to leaking, frequent coolant loss
