    Anyone done a factory tour?

    Did the tour in August 2013 on the way back from Austria. Excellent day out - not just the production line but the museum and other facilities on site such as customer pick up area and restaurant. We stayed for one night at the Hotel Mecure in Ingolstadt which is a couple of miles from the...

    Freezing sat nav

    Has any one else had their sat nav freeze. This has happened a few times recently and normally just when you are approaching an important junction! It doesn't seem to unfreeze itself for quite some time and it is as if it loses the satellite signal.

    New S3 ordered, cracking deal, now let the wait begin :(

    Just had a look on the Audi website at your configuration - looks fantastic. Had my A3 S-line Glacier White for four months now and every time I get in it I smile - I can only imagine you will have an even wider grin when you get your S3!

    Factory Tour

    I think you can if you live in Germany or Austria but I'm not sure about UK buyers. There were lots of people collecting their cars on the day we visited including two people taking the keys of what appeared identical glacier white S-line Sportbacks.

    Factory Tour

    Unfortunately you are not allowed to take pictures in the factory which I suppose is understandable. One of the other people on the tour asked the Audi guide would we see a RS3 on the production line and she just smiled and said "not today". We were at the factory on Monday 5th August but I'm...

    Factory Tour

    Booked it online via Audi.com or just search Audi Factory Tours. Very reasonably priced - I think it was only about 26 Euros for two adults and two kids and you can easily spend a whole day at the site as it has a great museum, car collection area, shops and reasonably priced places eat.

    Factory Tour

    Just returned from our driving holiday to Austria which included on the way back a detour to take in the Audi Factory tour in Ingolstadt. An excellent day out and as with most things Audi extremely well done. We had a 2 hour tour of the A3 production line and saw A3's in as they say "all the...

    S-Line Sports Suspension or Standard Suspension

    I agree with BigD289. We wanted a car to replace my wife's Mk 5 Golf 2.0 GT which was very comfortable but nine years old (we had owned it from new). Tested the new golf - excellent but a little too much the same after nine years with the MK 5. Tried the Mercedes A Class - good but not sure...

    It has arrived!

    Audi Bury St Edmunds kept us in the loop the whole time from ordering in February until collection yesterday. Superb. The only thing they didn't tell us was the free DAB radio because our car just slipped into 2014 MY production!

    Cheers Mark. I hope to post some photos later this weekend. It has been sunny in Suffolk today but the weather doesn't look good for tomorrow. I think I will refuse to drive it out of the showroom if it is raining too hard!

    Thank you Sandra - we're now getting very excited and do not have the same Patience as Take That! Great tune anyway. We walked past the dealership this evening and saw an A3 shape covered up with just the bottom of an alloy showing - must be our car.

    Just looking at your options cemerson - I have also deselected the sports suspension. Have your seen a S-line on SE suspension in the metal? If so what do you think about the ride height?

    Now only two sleeps to go! Drove past the showroom today hoping to catch a glimpse of the car ready for collection but it was nowhere to be seen. I should really be more patient and wait for the reveal but it's just too damn exciting! Driving through Germany over the summer and have booked a...
