The new Ford Freestar is not a great minivan, but it has a great fold-flat third-row seat and really good flip-forward middle-row captain's chairs. |

| 2008 Audi S3 |
 The 2008 Audi S3 is the most powerful, dynamic and sporting car in its class
providing the comfort that most buyers want. Audi's complex front suspension yields absolute control in wet conditions, and that's with front-wheel drive and traction control. It's even better with Quattro. In dry conditions, the front-drive 2008 Audi S3 has none of the torque steer common with high-powered front-wheel-drive automobiles. The new 3.0-liter V6 gives the base 2008 Audi S3 energetic performance in just about any driving situation. We drove The 2008 Audi S3 in the foothills of the Blue Ridge in northern Virginia, where the engine performed eagerly on uphill grades. Yet it was like a silent partner on the expressway.
The 2.7 T is designed for more spirited performance with a broad band of torque (258 pounds-feet from 1850-3600 rpm) for quick acceleration performance. 2008 Audi S3 covers the 0 to 60 run in 6.7 seconds. More important is the torque from this 300-horsepower V8, 295 pounds-feet from 3000 to 4000 rpm, which gives it excellent passing
performance. The 2008 Audi S3 delivers lots of torque and the twin-turbo V8 emits a satisfying rumble when cruising that reminded us of a race car. The passing performance is fantastic, as we learned on sweeping Arizona highways. Punch it and you're immediately around slower vehicles. |

The standard
five-speed Tiptronic automatic that comes on most 2008 Audi S3
models is smooth and responsive. We don't miss having a
manual. 2008 Audi S3 features paddle shifters on the steering
wheel that are handy for quick downshifts. Leaving the shifter
in the auto position allows a quick downshift for making a
pass, which automatically upshifts.The six-speed manual
gearbox found in The 2008 Audi S3 shifts smoothly and is
enjoyable to use. The manual allows The 2008 Audi S3 to
accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in just 6.0 seconds. 2008 Audi S3
comes with Audi's new multitronic continuously variable
transmission, or CVT. Bottom line: It works great, with
seamless performance and it's very smooth when cruising.
It's more responsive than a traditional automatic
transmission. Most people don't realize it's not a traditional
automatic transmission until told otherwise. And that's really
all you need to know about it. Until recently we weren't
impressed with CVTs in cars. They seemed a better match for
snowmobiles. |

 2008 Audi S3 is a brilliant luxury sports sedan. It comes with a beautifully detailed interior that's just as comfortable for long trips as it is for the morning stop-and-go. Steering, handling, braking are all excellent. They are balanced well with a smooth, firm ride quality. 2008 Audi S3 is the softest, RS 6 is the firmest, but none of them is harsh. Acceleration performance depends on the model, ranging from quick, to very quick to blistering.
The inclusion of all-aluminium suspension, second-generation iDrive technology, adaptive headlights and Brake Force Display with the availability of Active Steering, Dynamic Drive Control and Active Cruise Control offer some indication of the seemingly impossible step up from the current 2008 Audi S3. The impressive technology on offer is supplemented by more space throughout and a new design, inside and out, that clearly shows The combination of a new weight-saving aluminium chassis and bodywork structures, and existing super-efficient and powerful engines produces market-leading performance and economy figures in The 2008 Audi S3. |
