let's face it the back seats are as much use a wet toilet paper for anything other than a small dog.
They're great if you're like good old resusci Anne

Fingers crossed it was already in the system pre ordered.I ordered a 3 door vy beginning of Jan and got a build date March 27th I hope it don't move!!!
I've just been online to check for myself (as my original comment was a guesstimate of the previous thread) & 2015 productions figures are 190733 5 drs, 142910 saloons, 19463 3 drs & 16862 cabs. So 5 drs actually out number 3 drs 10 to 1. Looking at the last 3 yrs, production of the 3 dr has dropped by a third which would explain delays in production if customer interest in purchasing the 3 dr is dropping like that or is it the delay in production causing customer interest to drop off!?. Either way I still think the 3 dr is the better looking hatch.23 five doors to every 1 three door - surely not? The 3 door may be less practical but looks a lot better - tried to add a cheeky emoji but it got ditched!
Manuals will be around for the time being. In fact, they're increasingly in demand. There's been a consumer backlash against DCT's and paddle controlled boxes that isolate the driver from the experience of actually driving. Hence the manual Jag F-Types, the return of manual changes to the hardcore 911's, and the development of 7 speed manuals based upon the DCT mechanicals of 'boxes that were previously strictly for paddle shifting only. 3 doors are still popular, but Audi is currently knocking out the more lucrative 5 doors. I managed to get a 3 door facelift S3 within 5 months of the facelift order books opening. I could have had it in 3 months had I not held out for the VC and Matrix options. The 5 door batch will be completed soon enough, and 3 doors will return. They have to, they're the cars that look good on the advertising material. The 5 doors are the ones most people actually buy because they have to transport inconvenient items like children about.^^
My 3dr manual S3 is going to be a rare car, can't argue with the market demand though...........have to wonder how long the manual and 3dr versions will be available. For me the 5dr wheelbase doesn't like right and the 3dr is much nicer to look at however from the above figures clearly I am in the minority.
I see from your other thread that your BW is 41 which I believe is week beginning 9th October. Don't want to be the voice of doom, but think you will be lucky to get delivery before November.Perhaps should have gone for 5 door had my bw today September delivery October
Original 41 now 39 told might move forward but it comes when it comesI see from your other thread that your BW is 41 which I believe is week beginning 9th October. Don't want to be the voice of doom, but think you will be lucky to get delivery before November.

Manual Gearboxes are for normal....run of the mill ordinary cars or for expensive niche marketed drivers cars just like the cars you have stated above mate....l would have had a 3 door is S3 if l liked the looks of it but l preferred the Sportback...l dont have kids..nor passengers...lol....but to be honest both have there good and bad points....The amount of doors and which gearbox one chooses is just the same as the colour of paint one chooses
Agree with you there Jas, I prefer the look of GTR Sportback to the 3 door with the A3/S3. With my Golf though the 3 door was much better looking.
Yeah 3 door Golfs are a better looking car........l just think that what VW Do .....Audi Do the opposite...lol
Just seen that I somehow managed to write GTR Sportback some how
They haven't singled me out It's all three door A3 series ordered since January and not already in the system.
@jassyo06 - Thats madness ! *** 9 months !Spoke to my son tonight factory orders 3 door S3's November delivery
Not good enough on Audi's part IMHOThey don't sell that great less profit on them for Audi, so it makes more financial sense to concentrate on making cars that do, also Audi have a lot of new models pending release,2 RS3's SQ2, RS4/RS5, New A8,this maybe the reason
They pulled the RS3 Sportback that was in very high demand, so they won't lose any sleep over slowing production of a car that's in low demand...Not good enough on Audi's part IMHO
