I'm about to turn my 2004 MINI Cooper S into an S3 Coupé and I just have a couple of n00b questions on some of the options.
Adaptive headlights
I've had a brief go in an RS4 which had these fitted and on twisty roads they seemed to work quite well. But are they worth the extra money (AU$850) or not really worth the effort? I wouldn't say I do a lot of night driving.
Sunroof
My wife's 3dr Mk5 GTI has a sunroof and there is a bit of a rattle that pops up from time to time. It's nothing too major just yet, but mildly anoying at times. Are there any similar issues with the A3/S3? Also, are there any wind buffeting issues (for example, when our GTI's sunroof is open to the "comfort position" at speeds below about 30mph there is a bit of buffeting from the roof, unless one of the windows are open).
Electric folding mirrors
Parking is not really an issue here, but I kinda like the gadget factor of folding mirrors. The standard mirrors are not heated are they?
Magnetic ride
I've never had a drive in an Audi with this fitted, is it worth the extra cash?
Navigation plus
I will be getting this regardless, but if there's anything pants about it, please let me know before hand, haha.
Pics for clicks...
Plenty more on my motoring site too.
Cheers
