greetings gents!
I've been another stealth user of this thread since Feb, sorry for not contributing until now! I've also been counting the days for the S3 (Sportback) to become available, my '06 2.0T quattro is due for an upgrade
I've just spoken to my local Audi dealer (Nottingham) and they say they do have the prices, but were a little cagey about pricing around options. I can confirm they said £31260 for the manual, and £32740 for the s-tronic (both Sportback), and that they would receive the first ones on the 1st of Nov.
I'm going to pop in to see them later this afternoon, so hopefully should come away with a better idea of costings (in particular the monthly cost on a 3yr PCP deal).
I'm not 100% sure whether to get the s-tronic or not; reviews of it on different engines seem a little hit and miss. I'd hate it to be either jerky, or very slow to respond when changing down for an overtake etc.
BTW, does anyone know if cruise control is standard on either the manual or s-tronic?
For what it's worth, I was originally thinking a dark grey (it's the understated stealth performance of the S3 that attracts me among other things), but am now leaning towards the Estoril Blue too, as it looks beautiful in the pics I've seen. Unsure on other options... I'll have to have a proper read in to what's standard, or what comes in the different packs.
I'll let you know what the folks at Audi say later...
