How does the Audi S3 feel during overtaking?

In recent generations like the 8V (post-facelift) and the latest 8Y model, the Audi S3 is exclusively available with a 7-speed S tronic dual-clutch automatic transmission, although some earlier versions of the 8V and older generations did offer a 6-speed manual option in certain markets. For buyers considering the Audi S3, that matters because it affects how easy the car is to live with, whether for commuting, family use, long-distance driving or ownership costs. The useful way to read this is not as an isolated specification, but as a clue to how the car will feel in real daily use.
