I'm seeing the trend for Estoril Blue already... Starting to think it's going to be as common as muck!
It is tidy tho. Aberdeen had a RS6 that colour in a few months back! Very nice!
Super sports seats are not in the same league as the buckets, just configured an S3 sportback on the audi site and I'm so glad i went for the 8P with buckets
Very disappointed about the LED Headlights. I will just have to have them when the RS3 comes out.
My spec for my negotiations starting on Friday is:
3 Door S3 S-Tronic
Estoril Blue
Super Sports Seats
Adaptive Headlights
Technology Pack
Folding & Dimming Mirrors
Interior Light Pack
Bang & Olufsen
Comfort Pack with Cruise Control & Rear Parking Sensors
Reversible Boot Liner
Tyre Pressure Monitor
Non Smoking Pack
Hold Assist
£37,485.00
Interestingly, I have been talking to www.bettercardeal.co.uk (from where I purchased my current car). It is still to be officially confirmed but it looks like a 7% discount.
S3 Ordered!
I put the 7% discount figure in front of my local dealer and they "thought about it overnight" and have just called to confirm.
Very Excited.
Good for you! Excellent to hear there is movement from RRP. That sort of discount really makes it do-able. Which dealer have you ordered from if you don't mind me asking?
Shame no LED headlights yet, did they say anything about those?
Contact Sam @ www.bettercardeal.co.uk. I got my quote from them. I bought my current S3 from them (through Wimbledon Audi as it turns out)
Been to My local dealers today in the North east and have been told no discount whatsoever !
...I'm impressed people are getting 7% on an S3 though. I'd have expected a little less than that and would have been aiming for about 5% (if I could have afforded to wait). Maybe there's no restrictions these days on allocations for the S cars as there was a few years ago. Definitely good news for buyers.
Right then,
Now that the configurator has been updated I'd be interested in hearing what people think of this:
S3 Sportback Manual
Estoril Blue crystal effect paint
Aluminium roof rails
Audi Phone Box
Audi Warranty extension 4 years
Bang & Olufsen sound system
Comfort package
Audi Parking System Plus
Cruise control
Hold assist
Non-smoking package
Technology package
Tyre pressure loss indicator
RRP: £35,300
Any must haves that people think are missing from the rather extensive options list?
Hi been lurking for a while...
Ordered my S3 a couple of weeks back basic spec with B&O, light package, TPMS, dipping/folding mirrors.
Just struggling to decide on the colour, Estoril blue is disappointing in the metal and shows as a dull navy unless the sun is out...
Misano red is too orange/pink when it is sunny so the order sits as Glacier White for now.
Starting to think a '12 plate S5 or low miles RS4 would be better for a year or so LOL...
ChrisH S3 - do you mind me asking if you managed to get a discount?
Did you go for Manual or DSG?
