As many of you know, I have bought a 2016 Audi S3 Prestige, and I thought that I would share my ownership experience. The car now has over 1000 miles on it, and is still doing good. I washed the car yesterday, and never looked dirty even though it's black. I do like the black color of the car. Other cars I looked at were the Infiniti Q50S (my dad owns a '15 Q50 Premium), it was a bit expensive for me, also the Buick Regal GS, I didn't like the design very much, and also the S3. The S3 was good for me because it had standard equipment for the money, and mine is the top of the line with no options.

And for those of you looking at an S3, do NOT get the 19" wheels with the magnetic ride! I have seen too many bent rims on cars and ripped tires. I test drove one with the magnetic ride, and the ride was harsh; it just diminishes the reliability of the car. And all of the automotive journalists who don't actually buy and live with these things recommend everyone to get the 19" wheels with the magnetic ride.

That is my ownership experience and one major suggestion.
