My father owned three cars and all of them are Audi. I am also an Audi fan. I want to purchase 2015 A3 and did some research. I got a quota from AutoPriceShare program. I felt OK about the price. After I test drove both A3 and S3, I feel that S3 seems to be another good choice for me. Dealers give me two options and let me consider about it.
I am not an expert in car. So I want to listen some suggestions from you. Which option is better?

1. A3 2015 Sedan FWD TDI Prestige $37485(MSRP $41945)
2. S3 2015 Premium Plus $38539(MSRP $41995.0)

 

You'll have a ton more fun in the Premium Plus S3, but you'll have more creature comforts and amenities with the A3 Prestige. Personally, I wouldn't even consider the A3 FWD. The S3 will also hold more resale value over time.

 

Which is more important to you....features or sport?

If you like higher performance/sporty driving, then get the S3, if not, get the A3.

If you want both, then get the S3 Prestige like I did. It's a little more money, but it's worth it.

Honestly, I think the A3 is a bit too boring and for the same price, there are a lot of better cars out there. (for example, the VW Golf GTI or even the Golf R).
