My 2012 S3 which I love(d) just blew its transmission at 58,875 miles. In the shop for two weeks now and they still can't locate a replacement tranny. Since it's still under the PT warranty, I have a feeling they're going to have to give me a new car (no current Mazda would be an acceptable replacement) or give me the full purchase price back (which I'd probably use to find something closer in performance). Under the Magnuson Moss Warranty Act, manufacturers are required to have replacement parts for 7 years after first production (10 in California). Just a heads up to any of you out there with newer S3's that are approaching the end of the PT warranty. And much as I like it, I wouldn't buy a used one since you can't get the parts.
