Whilst I like many of the cool colours of cars posted here, must admit I still also very much like my Monsoon Grey, particularly when the sun is out. BTW, spent some time on Mykonos recently and saw a bright red A3 8V cabriolet - must say was one of the best kept cars on the island, apart...

Wow I was feeling like a poor relation on this forum until I read V8's comment about the A3 8V 1.4 having better steering and road handling (on its dynamic default settings) than the S3 - because that (the 1.4SB) is what I have. And to my mind it really does meet that criterion.. However, I...

I don't want to start this debate again, but isn't mono pur on the centre console more preferable (to the harder plastic) if you don't want "sprained" kneecaps!!:audibash:

Hi that is ok. What does 122bhp equate to in kw? Maybe the car I drove was under-tuned, but as it was an Audi branded (advertising on wheels) car, I doubt it. It was quite lethargic going up some long reasonable inclined hills, altho admittedly I kept it in normal auto and didn't use the...

Hi again guys. I drove manuals for many years (Ford Escort GT, Mazda sports SS hatch and Mazda Astina SP, before my previous Audi A3) and they all were to my mind a lot of fun to drive and quite responsive gearing wise. And that after learning to drive on my Dad's Holden Premier station wagon...

Thought this might be an interesting new thread. With the new A3 SB launching in the US this summer, how many members are planning to buy or have ordered. Particularly since the A3 sedan was launched in 2014, have all the Audiphiles satisfied their wishes with the sedan or holding out for the...

Hi Sunscreemer - be careful about the g/f buying an s-tronic A1, I drove one (with an up spec'd engine) as a loan car last year and it was gutless. May be a manual might be more the go. Re the thread comments more generally, I'm very happy with my S-tronic; I was comfortable with driving...

Interesting thread. My wheels (bought directly from dealer as an inventory sale) was debadged from factory and when I was at the dealer a few days ago and checking new inventory, all the new floor cars also seem to be debadged. Hope mine doesn't get stolen in mistake for something more potent...

Going to burn new Nick Jonas album and enjoy the soft grooves - best album in a decade - check it out.

OK I'll bite on this one. My previous drive an 2002 A3 Hatch1.8 manual (petrol DOHC engine). Compared with my new 2014 A3 SB 1.4 S-tronic (petrol turbo), the new car is definitely more responsive and seems to have more power in the lower, middle and higher ranges. Now I realise that my 2002...

It was fascinating looking at the 2014 UK brochure and the various model configurations and comparing these to my country. We definitely seem to overall have a better deal from Audi on even the most basic configurations, compared to the UK. We also have only 2 "packages " to choose from...

Martha You should definitely consider the ILP (interior light package), particularly if you do a lot of night driving or driving in inclement weather (ie the UK lol). Check out all the interior pics on 'post pics of your new 8V' on this forum. Re sports suspension, I've only got standard...

I failed netiquette again. Relates to previous item from Relliott6879. I think it is great to see pics of owners with their new cars - and probably a bit safer than posting pics with full number plates/registration???? Noticed in some of the newer pics that vehicles have sculpted indents in...

Hi folks interesting thread. My new A3 SB 2014 has S-tronic (7 speed) and while I have only used in auto (apart from one occasion very early in ownership when I accidentally put it into sport mode during a very tight underground parking spot manoeuvre and drove home in sport mode because I...

If you don't have hold assist, you can as alternative use electronic parking brake on inclines, it also seems to work well. When used, the epb does not disengage until car has enough forward momentum to stop rolling back. I've read manual but can"t seem to find any info about tyre pressure...

Even so worth considering. I was told when on site that new buyers package at Ingolstadt includes factory visit, museum visit, lunch (I didn't see a Mcdonalds LOL) and then taking delivery of your new car.

Hi, I have the 1.4 TFSI DSG 7 speed auto MY 14 Sportback and in my view it is a very satisfying drive on limited freeways and around town. I guess I speak with some experience having previously had a 2002 A3 Hatch 1.8litre non turbo which produced 92kw. My new car is only 90kw but it seems...

Hi Visited Audi Ingolstadt factory recently )which is solely producing the new A3 and S3 sportback. For all those viewers still waiting for their new wheels, everyone of the cars on the assembly line was a specific customer order. If you get a chance to go see the Forum, it is well worth...
