Ordering S3 Glacier Saloon

Instead of the coloured calipers why not get something better? Mono.pur, privacy glass, etc

Or even take off caliper colouring, sensor and plus system and get comfort pack.

Suggestions btw, each to their own :)

Agreed

When you have the calipers in red the fronts aren't fully done. the S3 insert is still black

This pic shows what I mean -

Comfort pack with parking system plus adds quite a bit for less money IMO

As always, just my opinion of course ... :hi:
 
Red callipers set the car off IMHO

They just look a bit odd to me with the black insert on the fronts :think:

But, as the saying goes, each to their own ... :laugh::laugh::laugh:
 
Personally when I see red calipers it always reminds me of a golf gti lol I would save the money and get the comfort pack with parking plus as bristle stated but each to their own. Haven't been given build date yet so waiting for that.

Lewbo, great spec and the S3 saloon is a superb looking car.
I would consider getting the Technology pack instead of SD satnav, you get a larger display with greater resolution, bearing in mind you plan on keeping the car for a while.
To help fund this I would suggest you reconsider the LED headlights, look great but I read somewhere on this forum they can be around £1,000 to replace, each headlight!
Good luck with the wait!

In fact, in this weeks Autocar, they discuss the need to replace an LED headlight on the magazines fleet A3 Saloon, which was broken in a car park, and the cost, an astonishing £1173 plus fitting! (and had to wait 3 weeks for the part to arrive)
 
Wow that's expensive but least it's under warranty lol think im very keen on the headlights so going to stick with them thanks anyways.
 
Hi guys
My first post on the 8V side of the forum, been a 8P owner for 5 years now and had 4 s-line's and 1 S3. I currently have a 2.0 TFSI S Line after selling the S3 to buy a house with the misses.

Now we've were settled in the house were looking at getting a new car and since I have always missed my S3 I have always wanted another, my current a3 has full 2011 S3 interior so getting an 8P S3 wouldn't feel like a new car so decided to look at the 8V.

We went into our local dealer yesterday afternoon to see if they had one in to test drive and they had a glacier white saloon s-tronic which looked awesome. Anyways they let me keep it over night to give it a proper test drive which I did haha.

Returned it this morning very happy and we have decided on a spec and just wondered if anyone thought we have missed something worth having.

S3 Saloon Glacier White S-Tronic
Black Styling Pack
19" 5 Arm Wing design high gloss
Hill hold assist
Non smoking pack
Privacy glass
SD satellite navigation
Electric folding mirrors
Extended mono pur
Bang & olufsen
Comfort pack
Interior light pack

RRP is £38.8K and DTD quoted £34.9K which is a saving of 11.3% so I told my dealer and they said they don't usually offer this much discount on a S model but they said that they will match it which I was very happy about.
Haven't ordered yet as I wanted to get correct spec matched with DTD quote before having to mess around changing it once ordered.

Here is the car I had over night very nice can't wait to get one now lol
