Which S3 trim does Edmunds recommend?
The midlevel Premium Plus trim is the way to go. For not much more than the base Premium trim, you get the contents from the Convenience package and adaptive cruise control and lane centering, both of which are helpful for highway driving. The Premium Plus also gives you access to the Technology package and the S Sport package, which is a must-have for improved handling and comfort.
