The original Audi S3 was both understated and ahead of its time - a truly great hot hatch. Find out how you can get a used one in your garage:

Overall, it combines elements of rally car-like hot hatch with GT car – and that’s a good recipe for an all-rounder. Add to that some classic, late-’90s charm, such as its subtle yet hunkered-down looks, and the undoubted appeal shines through.

When looking for your dream S3, you might assume that late examples are the most valuable, but it’s actually the overall condition that’s the dominating factor in price. You’ll find a fair few used and abused models, so well-kept ones – regardless of age – will fetch the highest premiums. “Its turn-in is sharp and it can be coaxed into oversteer by lifting off mid-bend. The S3 is not perfect, but it is an enticing proposition. It’s fast, practical, stylish and an exciting drive.

Standard equipment across all model years includes 17in alloy wheels, electrically adjustable Recaro leather seats, climate control, electronic stability control and traction control.High-mileage cars from private sellers. Previous accident history, rough conditions and/or questionable modifications are likely, so pay attention and choose carefully.
