What is the score on LED lights then ?
Any news on when these will become available ?
Can you order a car and then add later on ?
These were a BIG cool factor for me, so much so I would have to hang back an order waiting for them to be released, unless I could add on prior to the car build being confirmed.
No news Snake on these - I agree with you on holding back- I e-mailed a salesman who is well aware of my interest, to try and find the latest info on the LEDs but nothing heard so far - )he may be on hol though). I been offered 6% off through a broker but I wont be committing to anything unless I get some clear news on the LEDs.
I have resigned myself to a delay of a few months on the LEDs - but thats based on nothing more than my own guess! Others have been given November delivery slot for orders now, so if a couple extra months delay on those LEDS - then I prob consider holding back for March 2014.
Sepang looks best to me.

Hmm that is interesting so what we are saying then is ....
S3 3 door available 1st
S3 5 door available next
S3 saloon likely available after that
My Dealer knows I want a 3 door though and still maintains nothing / nada / zip / zero / big naught ???
Here in the Netherlands the Sportback is introduced first. It should be the 3-door but they changed it with an unknown reason. Build date week 35 en delivery mid september.
Has anyone else noticed that on stage 2 of the configurator - the engine selection part - if you then click the "compare engine and equipment" button on right side - it gives you a list of standard S3 equipment. In the section detailing seats - it says in addition to heated seats -
"Electric front seat adjustment - driver´s seat with memory function"
I guess this is too good to be true - in the configurator it later gives electric adjustment as a £550 option.
Can anyone clarify further?
With a memory function too - the lack of this on the configurator is what stopped me speccing it. Pretty pointless otherwise!
Ordered!!!
Went to my local Nottingham Audi dealer yesterday, armed with quotes from lease car companies and talk of discounts on here and from bettercardeal.
When I put it to them that I would prefer to buy from them, but it really came down to price, they very quickly agreed to knock the 7% off, and when the monthly cost was still a little higher than from the lease companies (I was using this as the number to compare to their PCP deal), they relented and matched it!
Very pleased with the deal, and am already counting the days until, hopefully, a November delivery.

Interesting, the dealer's senior Sales Manager (who I've dealt with before) reckons that no S3's will be delivered before November.
I mentioned the Sportback being Nov and the 3 door for Sep and he was adamant that no S3 would be delivered before Nov. I don't think he actually knows but we'll see.I hope that's not true! My dealer has said that mine has a delivery of end of July. When the order first went in it said sept but it then jumped forward.
I know the sport back is due for November delivery so hopefully that's what he means
How come you can order it when it's not yet in the audi NL car configurator ? I wonder if that means it's now available in Belgium also?
His answer was to order before 1 July to lock in the price.
Oh god I really hope that's not true! Ill have to call my dealer. I can't remember what the build week was but it was first week of July. Makes no sense to build them and keep them hanging around for months surely?
Yes, we thought so too. The dealer has an A3 TDi S-line in the showroom in Misano and it looks a lot better than I remember it looking when it was an option for the A5 S-Line 3 years ago - although then I was looking at one of their sample panels.Good call on the Misano Red REB, looks like a lovely colour!
I only joined these forums recently following a chat with Mrs REB about the size of our current car, an A5 3.0 TDi Sportback which she says is too big for her to drive. So I started looking for something smaller and the A3 looked like the obvious choice. I took one look at the S3 and thought "I want one!". Did some research over the last 3 weeks or so and decided on a spec.
I got a quote from 'Better Car Deal' which I took to my local dealer today and after some discussions, they agreed to match the price!
So the specification is as follows:
S3 2.0 TFSI quattro S Tronic 3 Door
Misano Red
Advanced key
Audi Parking Plus
B & O Sound System
Comfort Package
Auto dimming etc door mirrors
Hill Hold Assist
Interior Light Package
Non-smoking package
Privacy Glass
Reversing Camera
Technology package
18" x 7.5" '5-parallel spoke' wheels
Interesting, the dealer's senior Sales Manager (who I've dealt with before) reckons that no S3's will be delivered before November.
Now I just need to sell the A5 (for which the dealer insulted me with their trade-in valuation).
I got the quote on-line and the S3 is listed. Check this link and look at the bottom 2 entries.Can't find the S3 on 'Better Car Deal' website?! Did you contact them direct?
