Buying an A3 in 2016

After 8 years of A3 ownership I’m thinking of changing it next year for a new model.

I've been thinking with a revised version almost certainly being on sale next year I don’t know if I should wait or not.

I’m guessing that the car will be unveiled at the Geneva motor show in March with production starting in May. Is May VWs usual Model Year update month?

My MOT is due 1st September 2016 and I know there will be some costs to get it passed so I will want to change in March or September (I know I'm a car snob wanting a new number plate to impress the neighbours).

So I don’t know if it is worth waiting a few months before ordering and trying to get a BW in May but risking not having a delivery until after September.

I like the idea of the virtual cockpit screen but it’s not really a must have option and I can’t see the styling being radically different either.

I know I will never buy it if I keep waiting for the new version to come out but seeing this is a big purchase for me I don’t want to feel I should have waited a month or so before ordering so I can get a newer and probably better specification model.

As a comparison when the 8P got revised in 2008 were all variations instantly available to buy or did it take a few months to make them available again?

So do you think it’s worth holding out for a revised model and risk not having it by the September and having to pay to get the car through the MOT? Or just be happy with the current model and not risking having to pay anymore out on my current car?

RS3 is my option as well. Seeing that there is around 6 month wait between ordering and delivery I might risk putting my order in February which might have a BW after the update with delivery around September.

I know my dealer has ordered a few RS3s to be built around January to allow customers to get delivery early.

I've been thinking again about the revisions and if I should I wait.
The smartphone integration isn't really a selling point for me as I don't use my phone for music or pod casts and I don't use my phone whist driving.

I don't think the cosmetic changes will really effect my choice as the basic style car will be the same with only some panel and changes to the lights.

The only reason for waiting to order is to get these revisions which I don't really need and I like the current car as it is.

So I've decided to think about it for a few weeks and if I still come to the same conclusion as now I'm going to order my new car at the end of September to get delivery by March.

Hoping to be posting on the RS3 section soon.

Thanks asport for your input.
