Been to the dealer and got a good deal out of them (I think) so have ordered the new S3 S-Tronic which should hopefully be here for the 1st of September.

I've gone for the tango red (since the Navarra Blue looks too dark for my liking), with B&O, Tech Pack Advanced and Parking System Plus.

I can't wait until September now! Also, it seems that the new models have had a slight power tweak and now deliver 310PS compared with the old 300PS.

You will probably find that the existing S3 already has 310+ coming out of the factory.........But the plus side is that your new S3 will probably have 320+.....:rockwoot: All good...

What sort of deal did you get and what dealer was it? For you don't mind me asking?
 
Happy days, changed mine to tango red as well, rest of spec similar to yours although I added Matrix Lights so no build week yet.

I'm considering pulling the trigger on an S3. Anyone got a photo of navarra blue?
 
That's why I like it, saw a TT in the showroom and it was stunning.

I used to park my red Golf GTI next to a Misano Red Audi in work and the Audi looked pink.

Thanks for the vid. That verifies that Navarra Blue is far too dark for my liking. It's similar to Estoril Blue. Much darker than speang which would have been my colour of choice

There's no build week for any autos yet, just manual as far as I am led to believe. Good choice btw :)

Trying to decide between Daytona and Navarra for a 2016 facelift S3 saloon.... I have also found out that the S3 comes with very cheap looking red air vent surrounds that look like something out of a £18k SEAT. Anyway good news is they can easily be swapped.

I thought the red trims were part of the interior design pack?

Hope theyre not standard as they are tacky as hell.

I was in the same dilemma -,daytona or navarra. Tbh, wasnt overly keen on any of the colours and the fact that theres no word on deliveries of the auto, My deal wont go ahead as they cant guarantee my trade in value.

Ive told them to forget it, if we cant guarantee a deal now, then I wont bother.....its not my fault the auto is delayed!

Always the same with FL cars. All hype no flair. Dust will settle and there will be a moaning thread opening up. :friends:

Nice specc. I like the red. Don't know about the air vents though. Happy motoring.

Aberdeen Audi offered me 10% off list price, so doesnt look like the FL is commanding any sort of premium.

So basically around £4000 not bad at all but..as you say... Your car is depreciating constantly,so the price/deal is moving all the time,my thoughts are sell you're low mileage car privately win win never would l give Audi my car mate,January 2017 best time for everything

Red air vents have gone! The new configurator shows them as plain black and that is confirmed by my dealer. I was kinda getting used to the idea of them though ;)

So I finally have a build date and have a couple more days left to decide on the final spec. I am torn between the yellow and the red. Thinking red mainly as the yellow would be better with a black optic pack (which they aren't offering yet).

I also can't decide whether to go for the aluminium roof rails or not. Sometimes I think they make the car look better, sometimes not!

I must admit - I think Silver Audis are so '90s BTCC'!

@pauly69 no anger from this end fella. More embarrassed for you that you publicly air such a ridiculous statement. :whistle2:

Floret Silver is not on my shortlist. I had a silver A4 3.2 before, and did like it, but I want something with more impact now!
