Hi all,

Picked up my A3 Sportback yesterday morning, an excellent experience and was kept in the dark for 1/2 an hour before the reveal, it was killing me, but well worth the wait.

Engine, of course is the same as my previous A3, but seems a little more eager to please, and the s-line suspension I haven't really noticed a great difference yet, but has not been pushed either though.

The MMI as standard is fantastic, and have not tested the B&O either.

Many thanks for all the comments.

Yes, chuffed to bits, and had a quick over nighter last night at Bluewater, so had a chance to give her a nice drive round the M25, and today, back up the M11, A14 back to Huntingdonshire.

I've got to say, how impressed i am with the Floret during different weather conditions, and looks so dark now that dusk is coming.

The wheels, i've never liked the standard S-line chrome wheels which i had before, and have always preferred multispoke alloys since my original R32.

Great looking car (I would say that).
Can I suggest you check your tyre pressures.
I hadn't checked mine since I got it (even though I have a machine at home......) .
MMI came up at the weekend saying tyre pressure monitor fault.
I checked them & all 4 tyres were hugely under pressure.
Inflated them & reset the MMI and all fine now - but the car certainly rides a bit firmer !

Many Congrats HDI-line, car looks the business - noticed you also went for the comfort and sound option, I never thought I'd use the heated seats but they are great even with alcantara.
