Same her last 4 have been....Phantom Black, Daytona Grey, Sepang Blue and Floret Silver.

On the whites I was going to go Ibis White when I ordered my the 2.0 TDI but ended up with Daytona as they removed it as an option for Glacier White which IMHO was a little bit to blue for me

I had a Glacier White A3 for 15 months, can honestly say it never looked blue and never even thought of it! I definitely bought a white car, but with metallic flakes.

So is it another RS3 in a year's time, at the moment used RS3 seem to be holding up well

I'm really not sure mate.
It will be difficult as I will be ready to order this time next year for March 19 delivery but the current platform will be nearing its end ... & would I want virtually the same car for another 3 years ?
Sensible money would be on keeping the RS a bit longer & holding out for a next gen S3 but that could be 2020 so not sure.
S4 or S5 possible but they will be due a face lift by then so ?
Maybe have to consider a Merc A45 AMG when the new one comes out but not sure how I feel about moving away from Audi after 10 years as I have a great Dealer & really like Audi cars so much so can't see me straying from the brand tbh.

Blue?? - If anything it looks a smoked grey at times, you sure you weren't looking at Sepang :blink:

This is Glacier not Ibis.

Instead of hijacking @jassyo06 thread I thought I'd better start my own.
So I'm looking into jumping up a good few rungs of the A3/S3 ladder and going for a S3. At the moment I'm looking at both personal leasing and PCP deals.
Nothing is set in stone so colour, wheels, hatch, Sportback are all still in the mix! The only Definite thing I've ruled out is a Saloon. I do like them but two kids and a dog scuppers that idea.
Baring in mind my knackered back I'll probably go with a one of the whites, greys or Floret as they are easier to keep in good nic and with my car cleaning OCD I couldn't go Blue or black as my back wouldn't allow me to keep on top of them.
So show me your S3's, what options were a must for you and what you'd not bother with if you had to do it again?

Cheers Scotty

Edit.....also where did people find the best deals? Dealers, brokers or leasing companies?

Glacier is very easy to clean but it also shows dirt very easily, so you may find yourself constantly cleaning it to look its best. Floret is a lovely colour but imo black edition is needed with pano to complete it!

As far as options are concerned, I chose B&O, pan-roof, privacy glass, folding mirrors & parking sensors (now standard I believe).
The only one I regret not speccing is SS seats. They don't offer extra support but they do add the extra special touch to the interior. Virtual cockpit I've always been 50/50 on as I personally prefer the traditional dials, but it may be something most buyers will now look for when trying to move it on.

Pano is standard with BE. So standard car with Mag and 19s over BE?
Click to expand...

For me yes would choose mag/19's over BE that said in general I don't like BE across the entire Audi range

Edit: will always put performance above looks on selecting one option over another

So...........Ibis White or Glacier. Either standard car with Mag and 19s with Privacy glass. Or BE as a standard car. Decisions decisions decisions!!!

Lol, the video is glacier white no doubt, but that's were the conspirators theory fails, you need to ask yourself about the original picture:

1. why is there a number plate in the video, and none in the picture?
2. why do the Audi stickers across the fuel cap disappear in the picture?
3. why are the shadows inconsistent in the picture, in relation to the bridge, a hazy cloudy day with next to no Sun.
4. why can't you see the Glacier fleck sparkle?
5. why are you still reading this?

Nothing yet @Bristle Hound got a few quotes from Carwow. Best so far was 13% discount. Everything will depend on what's left in the money pot after getting the new house ready.,
