Used S3 has mismatched tyres
Just bought an approved used Audi S3 Sportback from Guildford Audi. Had a puncture and when checking what tyre I needed, I found that the car had been fitted with 2 Goodyear on the front and the rear had one Bridgestone and one Talon, whatever that is. Not sure of Audi's policy on fitting mis-matched tyre brands but is it something I should complain about on safety grounds?

On an S3 yes. Critical. All four tyres should be the same.

Good choice of engines. Some petrol engines now chain cam. Comfortable and well built interior. cheap to run 1.6 TDI. Feels very refined especially on the motorway.
