Used 2015 Audi S3 for Sale in Mokena, IL - Autotrader

The 2015 Audi S3 sedan is a sportier version of the compact A3, which sits at the entry-level end of Audi’s lineup. The S3’s performance is anything but entry level, however. This pint-sized rocket nearly matches the larger, more powerful S4 in straight-line acceleration. Handling impresses as well, and the interior displays typical Audi excellence. Is this the ultimate luxury sedan for the price? We wouldn’t go that far, because the S3’s price turns out to be somewhat steep. You could get into a number of larger, more cosseting sedans for roughly the same cost. You likely wouldn’t match the S3’s combination of speed and sophistication, however, and therein lies its appeal. As an all-around solution for the driving enthusiast, the 2015 S3 makes a lot of sense.
<p></p>
<h4>Autotrader’s Advice:</h4> Given how much the Prestige package costs, we recommend thinking hard about whether you really need it. If you can find a base S3 with few or no options, that’s the best value of the lot.
<p></p>
<h4>What We Like:</h4> Seriously quick acceleration; razor-sharp handling; classy, sophisticated cabin with cutting-edge technology.
<p></p>
<h4>What We Don’t:</h4> Modest interior and trunk space; high price for an entry-level luxury sedan.
<p></p>
<h4>Original MSRP:</h4> $41,995-$47,895 (when new).
<p></p>
<h4>MPG:</h4> The S3 comes standard with all-wheel drive, and it gets its motivation from a turbocharged 2.0-liter 4-cylinder engine rated at a heady 292 horsepower and 280 lb-ft of torque. A 6-speed dual-clutch automated manual transmission (S tronic) is mandatory. S tronic essentially works like a conventional automatic, but there’s also a manual mode that provides driver control over gear changes via shift paddles at your fingertips. Fuel economy is 23 miles per gallon in the city and 31 mpg on the highway, a respectable showing considering the S3’s sports-car-grade acceleration (Audi estimates a 0-to-60 miles-per-hour sprint of just 4.7 seconds)
<p></p>
<h4>Standard Features &amp; Options:</h4> The 2015 Audi S3 sedan is offered in two trim levels: Premium Plus and Prestige. Some of the Prestige’s features are available on the Premium Plus as options, including the two packages and the upgraded MMI system. The Prestige-only Advanced Technology package bundles adaptive cruise control, a frontal-collision warning system and lane-keeping assist. Available on both trims is the Performance package, which includes 19-in wheels and adaptive magnetorheological suspension dampers. The S3’s trunk checks in at just 10 cu ft., a low number even for a compact sedan. If you regularly carry longer items, such as golf bags, we recommend verifying that they fit to your satisfaction before you buy.

The <a href="https://www.autotrader.com/cars-for-sale/2015/audi/s3/prestige" target="_blank">2015 S3 Prestige</a> ($47,895, when new) adds LED headlights, an upgraded MMI system with navigation and online services (including Google integration and mobile Wi-Fi), a 14-speaker Bang &amp; Olufsen audio system, the Convenience package (LED interior lighting, power-folding heated exterior mirrors and an auto-dimming inside rearview mirror) and the Driver Assistance package (front and rear parking sensors, rearview camera and blind spot monitoring).
<p></p>
<h4>Safety:</h4> The 2015 S3 comes with standard stability control, 4-wheel anti-lock brakes and six airbags (front, front-side and full-length side-curtain). Rear-side airbags are optional, as is a frontal-collision warning system and lane-keeping assist. In government crash tests, the regular A3 sedan (the S3 hasn’t been tested) received a perfect five stars overall, including four stars for frontal impacts and five stars for side impacts. The independent Insurance Institute for Highway Safety gave the A3 its highest rating of Good in every category.
<p></p>
<h4>Behind the Wheel:</h4> In our interior evaluation, we found that the S3 transcends its entry-level status, offering materials and design on par with luxury sedans costing tens of thousands more. Sport-themed flourishes such as the flat-bottom steering wheel are subtle but effective, and the standard front sport seats provide superb support. Rear passenger space is predictably tight, however, so if that’s a priority, you might be better served by a different model. As with the larger S4, the S3’s MMI infotainment system comes in two flavors, with the base version’s controller knob mounted relatively inconveniently on the center stack. The optional MMI upgrade features a more ergonomic knob between the seats, where it falls readily to hand, and the display screen gets a bit bigger and brighter, too. Notably, the fancier system also includes the Audi connect telematics suite with cool touches including Google integration and mobile 3G Wi-Fi. On the road, the S3 is a certifiable speed demon, building pace with breathtaking ease thanks to its lag-free turbocharged engine. The transmission shifts instantaneously and matches revs on downshifts, making for a nearly seamless drive in all conditions. Handling is tack sharp, aided by ultraprecise steering and a tenacious grip from the quattro all-wheel-drive system and summer tires. You can feel the S3’s additional athleticism in your palms as you carve through the corners. In more sedate driving, the S3 continues to impress, though the optional 19-in wheels don’t do the ride comfort any favors. In general, the S3 rides firmly but not harshly, and road noise is mostly held at bay. The experience isn’t over-the-top luxurious, but there’s a nice blend here of sport-tuned tautness and premium character. For the target consumer who genuinely values performance, it’s a compelling proposition.
