Thought I’d post this here as the Audi section can be a bit quiet.
I’m looking at S3s around the £20k mark and wondered what are considered decent options.
Most I’m seeing don’t have upgraded headlights or b&o sound, so I’m just wondering what’s worth chasing.

Just a thought, but why don't you buy what you need and/or want rather than be told?

True enough but I’m not looking to be told so to speak just want to know what are considered to be decent options.
May help come resale time too.

the best S3 spec is to get one with m140i on the back wink

I’ve gone round in circles considering all the last few months but the extra grip of the S3 has just won over.

For 20k you’re touching FL money

Make sure it’s the FL

The biggest would be rear parking sensors, amazingly these were not standard.

Maybe a little stretch of your budget but Black Edition models get a few nice options and I like the black grills.

Have heard Super Sports Seats are also a desirable option but have never tried them.

For resale and personally for living with the car day to day :

DSG
Pan Roof
B&O
Super Sports Seats
Black Pack
Nav

Nice to haves Park Sensors / Rear Cam / The better of the 2 navs systems the non SD based one.
Virtual Cockpit is good if you can stretch to one of the FL 310 models but might be pushing budget.
