Could someone please explain to me why we don't get the infamous S3 in Canada? Whats the deal? Is there a way to ship an older one from Europe like the guys shipping older Nissan Skyline from Japan to Canada. When did they start making S3? I want one!!!

what does the S3 model has compared to the regular A3 S-Line?

U could always APR Tune an A3 to beat a S3

Sure you could tune an A3 to surpass an S3 but it would still be a four door hatch. Just the look of the 3 door and it's small wheel base plus quattro, well that just screams out Woo Hoo!!!

yes you can order one and have it sent here...pretty expensive from what i remember.
as far as difference between s3 and a3s-line is a bigger turbo, recaro seats amongst other things. itd be awesome if you got one!

Thanks for the info. and specs. guys! I'm going to fine out how much it really is to ship one up here.

They were also available in Mexico and NAFTA may have a hicup that would let it pass as a normal A3??

Audi also just announced the new A3 sedan, looks good to me. And there will probably be an S3 in Canada early next year!
