Hi all, I'm new here - looks like a very busy and well informed forum which is great. I recently began looking seriiously at an S3 Sportback S tronic to replace my ageing SLK. At my age and with more grey than anything else in my hair (!) I reckon my convertible days are over. I also need something with space for my beloved carbon road bike (saves the hassle of towbars etc) for my weekend cycle trips.
Anyway I have driven a Golf R and liked the pace and grip but hated the sound aktuator thing pumping false exhaust noise into the cabin. I wasn't overly impressed with the finish of the interior either.
So here I am having test driven the S3 on Sunday and liked it a lot. Wife needs to go drive one on Friday before I make a decision as she will be the main driver during the week. I have a few quotes (carwow, coast2coast) but haven't discussed figures with local dealer yet.
Looking for some views on options. I realise they are always subjective but I'd like to hear views. My current provisional spec is daytona grey paint, lunar silver seats and headlining, pan roof, B&O sound, light and rain sensor pack, parking system plus and park assist, elec heated/folding mirrors and cruise control. In the "not sure" category are comfort pack, side assist (?), LED lights.
Is the Daytona paint a lot easier to keep clean than black and does it hide the swirls better ?
Look forward to hearing views.
Thanks.
