    Wrong forum! I know, but ... ;-p

    So I cancelled my s3 order after being messed around by the dealer. Now I guess I have a choice. Im annoyed with the whole thing. I could get a pretty nice second hand 2011 S5 cabriolet in sprint blue. Or, push the boat out and go for a 2009 911 C4s cabriolet. Or just sulk and eventually...

    Any experience cancelling an order and getting deposit back?

    Audi Macclesfield have basically been lying to me. Finally got order number from them and checked customer service with Audi themselves. Despite promises I had build week 31, there is no allocation for the dealer, let alone a build week - status P, not accepted. Found another dealer who can get...

    Woe! Build week 31

    Dealer has been a little shambolic about getting order placed (deposit paid Easter Monday!) and I am BW31 on a 3 door hatch, apparently as UK allocations have been reached. He also says probably no chance on spec amending another order. Any chance of getting it OTR for September 1st? Any hints...

    MY15 SSS & silver headliner

    So I see the configurator now offers super sports seat with a silver headliner interior for the S3. I'm pretty sure for My14 it was only all black. Has anyone got any pics of a SSS & silver interior? Thanks! Matt

    Dealer just submitted my S3 3 door order. Says sepang blue now on the system, but no more tyre pressure, or body coloured mirrors... I knew about the TPMS, but has anybody heard about the mirrors for MY15?

    Pioneer AVIC-8000Nex (Apple CarPlay) vs Audi MMI high/connect

    Have a new 8v S3 on order. Vaguely worried about honkey in car infotainment being outpaced by my annual phone refresh. Has anyone tried the new pioneer carplay stuff yet? Any thoughts on just speccing the car with the stock (no add on) nav/infotainment, then getting the Pioneer stuff fitted...

    New 8v S3 - things to check

    Kinda frightening reading the threads. It's like things get delivered... half finished. So the obvious - check your options list is there. Check the 12v port is in the boot. Check the light is in the boot. Check the windscreen is accoustic. Check the B&O stereo isn't crackly. Check the sensor...

Anyone heard of Select before, got any feedback? If not any advice on getting 8% plus...

    Funny question...

    Still playing with my spec. Anyway. Is it possible to get the super sports seats on the s3 other than black? I really want a light interior - thinking of the alacantra/leather silver if I dont go Super Sports, and I know you can on other models, but the configurator only seems to offer black...

    Best way to buy an 8v?

    So hi, I'm new here. Never bought such a new car before , but very very excited about the prospect of an 8v. I've looked at approved used, and compared to orangeprices or drivethedeal, it almost seems cheaper to spec my idea new; how much should I expect to get off the quoted second hand...
