[Bigrahizzle]

Hey guys, Just picked up the Sepang Blue S3 in Prestige. Coming from a Lexus IS350

[Hspecialist]

Congrats! Hope you love it!!!

[Bigrahizzle]

Looks awesome. Hopefully someone makes a decent sounding exhaust for it now.

[Bigrahizzle]

Thanks guys! I will post more pics soon.

I hope someone does make a nice exhaust too. $2500 for that one exhaust is too much :/

[SFV A4]

Torture. Must post more pics.

I'm considering the S3 and I am also coming from an IS 350. Would you mind sharing your thoughts on the two and how they compare? I had a 2007 IS 350 and I'm considering the S3 or a 2015 IS 350.

Any info would be appreciated.

looks great! I love mine more and more every day :)

Honestly I'm really happy i went with the Audi. I was considering the 2015 Lexus IS350 but to be honest a Lexus is a Lexus which is luxury. I truly love the build quality of the Audi much more, its solid and more agile

AUDI FTW

S3 blows the IS350 out of the water. They are completely different focus cars that are not even worth comparing imo. Coming from the IS350 you might find the S3's ride too harsh and its engine too loud. But from a performance standpoint? The S3 demolishes the IS350.

Thanks for your response. I know that performance-wise the Audi wins hands down. I enjoyed the interior of the Lexus and it looks like the Audi might have a comparable interior. Is there anything you miss that the Lexus had that the Audi doesn't?

I always loved the IS cars but the performance is terrible for the money. Ironically its a very sporty looking car

Congrats.

Sepang seems to be the overwhelming fav color on this car. I wonder how long it will be before every state in the US has a registered vanity plate of "S3PANG". I think I've seen at least 4 already on the intetnetz.

Beautiful car! It looks like you got the exact one that I was eyeing at Chantilly Audi. In fact I think I just saw you at super pho in Herndon today?

[Bigrahizzle]

Its possible, i picked it up last week and that was the only one they had special ordered for a customer and he changed his mind. I wasn't in Herndon today thou lol

Honestly i can't think of anything i miss form the Lexus, it did have more comfortable seats thou. Not saying the seat are bad in the Audi, just a little stiff like it should be in a car of this nature

Nevermind then, it's someone else with a sepang car with temp tags on it :)

[ModdedEuros]

Congrats. We love our Sepang here

[musasabi]

Grats! Can't wait for more pics. =)

[Bigrahizzle]

Yea, its been raining here for the past few days. Hopefully saturdau is nice for a photoshoot and ill post some pics

[MilltekSportUSA]

Thanks guys! I will post more pics soon.

I hope someone does make a nice exhaust too. $2500 for that one exhaust is too much :/

Beautiful car, congrats! Just so ya know, the Milltek non-valved S3 system retails for $1549, so that puts it at $1316 during our winter sale. Much friendlier on the wallet than $2500

[F40LM]

Exhaust sounds like a Mitsubishi Evo I would keep it stock

[nagatec]

Thanks for your responses. I hope you continue to enjoy the car in good health.
