The Appeal
Trust Audi to deliver one of the best hot hatches of the Noughties. The Mk2 S3 Sportback took the formula and dialled it up to the max thanks to the firm’s highly regarded 2L TFSI engine, good for 265hp, revered Quattro drivetrain and quick DSG semi-automatic gearbox.
This menacing black S3 is a largely standard car that benefits from some choice upgrades. Outside the eagle-eyed will spot the RS3 kit and badging, while underneath there are adjustable coilovers front and rear. Inside the tech has been given a lift with an Android head unit that has navigation, Bluetooth and reversing camera.
The enthusiast vendor tells us that the car has been well maintained. The last service was in December 2025 and included a DSG gearbox service. The car will be sold with fresh Revisione.
The vendor says:
“This Audi S3 Sportback is not just a compact sports car: it is a car with character, offering real power, all-wheel drive, DSG, and a rock-solid technical foundation. Perfect for true enthusiasts, for those who want to feel the engine really push and are looking for a car that thrills every time they press the gas pedal.
“An increasingly sought-after model, destined to retain its value over time.”
