Reviews SummaryThe all-new, redesigned 2022 Audi S3 sedan finds a balance between the comparably restrained A3 and the over-the-top Audi RS 3 (the latter of which is no longer sold in Canada), delivering an optimal blend of performance, comfort, luxury, and technology. Despite its entry-level positioning, the S3 exceeds expectations and makes for a smart purchase for spirited drivers, so long as they keep an eye on options. | |
