OUt with the old in with the new

[killbill]

Despite being slightly envious of all the recent S3 arrivals on the forum I was pleased to take delivery of my new A3 last week, with some sadness at the departure of my LCR, which had been a great car for 3 years :



However my new A3 Sportback S-Line 170 PS TDI seems pretty quick if not in the same league as the LCR but certainly much better screwed together :





My options were :

Phantom Black Paint
20 Spoke Split Rim wheels
Arm rest
Full leather interior
Xenon headlights
Heated seats
iPod adapter

Hopefull this will open a new chapter in my motoring experience, and cheaper fuel consumtion !!

Cheers

Very nice! (but then I would say that )

I think the 20 spoke wheels suit the Sportback more than the standard 5 spokes and vice versa tbh.

Yep, I agree, what sort of mpg are you getting ?

Whats the difference with the sportback, longer wheelbase?

Looks sweet as a nut mate! really do like those wheels.

As I undertand it yes, longer wheel base & marginal gain in the boot and in the space inside.

Wheels look good but need serious effort to keep clean !!
