I loved my S1, he was my soul companion for 4 years but had to sell him and wife's car owing to her I'll health...BEHOLD! An S3 with magnetic ride, fully spec'd to the teeth became available, 3 door admittedly, but the 66 plate 310 brake version sort of is swaying me... anything I should be wary of?

It's like another language over here in the US I have no idea what you just said haha :) I wouldn't think that the S1 vs the S3 has any different issues. Just the normal high Audi maintenance requirements. Not that I'm complaining it's so worth the smile the car puts on my face everyday.
The magnetic ride while it seems cool the swing isn't really that much I can't barely tell the difference from comfort to sport. Googling plate 66 I take it that it's the same year as my 2016? Think the service history would be great if you can get it. I know a lot of people neglect the haldex and dsg maintenance depending on the millage that it has. I just pulled my Haldex pump and did a fluid change at 18k miles it was spotless no gunk at all on the screen.
I purchased the car with 13k miles on it.

Good luck in your decision such fun versatile cars. (y)
