    gmeroni's S1

    Nokian make very good winter tyres. Often regarded as one of the best available. Nice car, sensible upgrades :)

    2013 Audi S3

    Car magazine gave it a generally positive 4/5. Only real negative being a slightly uninvolving drive, but the interior, engine, chassis and all wheel drive more than make up for that.

    2013 Audi S3

    Typical Audi order time is 3-4 months, like you've experienced before. However, some people are waiting longer than that for A3's, never mnd S3's yet. I'm wanting a car for October time and i'm finding it very hard to go coose Audi, simply because the delivery times are all over the place...

    2013 Audi S3

    On the German website a basic 1.4 (122ps) manual looks to be 24,400 Euro, which is £20,763. The list price in the UK is actually £19,205. So I'd guess that a 38,900 Euro (£33,102) S3 might end up with a UK list price of just under £32,000. Still, spec'ing up to £46k might be possible.

    2013 Audi S3

    I'm sure Auto Express have changed the availability from "On sale now" (which would have been April) to "July". Unless they can get the car out in 3 weeks once order books open, I might have to pass.

    2013 Audi S3

    That's more encouraging (for me at least). Hopefully the S3 is starting just a touch over £30k.

    Availability of TDI quattro 184ps

    That's a crazy amount of options. An S-line, S-Tronic 2.0Tdi Sportback is £26k. So £10k is a lot of options if that's that is required. I had a sit in a Mazda 6 estate today as it happens, and I did like it. Good looking car, with a good spec like you say. Quite a long wait though I think, as...

    My dealer today showed me their latest S3 update from Audi that basically said it'll be available to order and all info and prices revealed some time in June.

    New A3 MMI wheel direction help

    It does seem wrong and first. It was the same in the A1. It's because you think that you should twist the side of the wheel facing you down to scroll down. Which would be clockwise. But obviously sat in the passenger seat, this is like turning the wheel up, hence why it scrolls up instead.

    Yes, I do like that colour.

    Full Tank Of Fuel S-Tronic 2.0 TDI

    You drive like an old woman? I don't know how many liters you're using exactly, but if it's about 50, then that's 43mpg. I'd say that's pretty decent for that engine, I wouldn't be disappointed.

    2013 Audi S3

    $200 extra isn't so bad then. I think those'll look good with Daytona. They look good full stop though.

    2013 Audi S3

    Also, are the alloys on the Estoril blue S3 you posted standard? Most reviews of the car show it with the alloys which look like S-Line alloys to me. I prefer these instead...

    2013 Audi S3

    Yes that does look a lot better. DO you know what other colours they'll do it in. Daytona can look pretty nice.

    Full Tank Of Fuel S-Tronic 2.0 TDI

    Yeah I thought I might have been telling you how to suck eggs. I had an A1 2.0tdi for a while that averaged 44mpg, which I didn't think was very good, when it was supposed to average 62mpg I think. To get anything like 60mpg was a huge effort, and really i'd be holding traffic up which isn't...

    2013 Audi S3

    I find Estoril blue too dull for me. My personal opinion of course. At the moment I think the Misano red is the one for me.

    Full Tank Of Fuel S-Tronic 2.0 TDI

    You need to do a brim to brim fill to get a proper MPG figure. See how many miles you get before low fuel light comes on. Then see how many liters/gallons are required to brim the tank again. 350 miles and 45 liters to fill it back up again would be.... 45 divided by 4.456 = 9.89 gallons. 350...
