    Little surprises?

    Little thing that surprised me is that with your phone connected but entertainment off (i.e. screen down), if the phone rings the screen will pop up and then retract again when the call is over. I had assumed that with entertainment off there would also be no phone connectivity.

BW was originally 36 but has now...

    Build week still to be confirmed...

    Ordered my new one on 4th June and got a Build Date of week 37 (wb 8 September) within 3 days. Salesman also said it could come forward. In my experience it takes 2 to 4 weeks from build to taking delivery in UK. It is somewhat dependent on where you are in the country and ship schedules. All...

    Daytona and Monsoon side-by-side

    Had a Daytona A1 and now have a Monsoon A3. Both are lovely with Monsoon being slightly lighter and of course it's metallic whereas Daytona is pearlescent. Daytona is only available with S-Line trim - its does sparkle in the sun though.

    Is the A3 a noisy car?

    My A3 Sport came with Pirellis and road noise is less than with the Contis I had on an A1 (both are on 17 wheels) but some road surfaces really make the Pirellis 'rumble.' It's never what you would call intrusive though.

    SD Card Supported Video Formats?

    Standard system has no support for video from SD cards or anywhere else. As stated above it may be possible to use the display as a simple monitor using the RGB cable to connect a device with video out to the AMI connector under the armrest.

    TFSI CYL ON DEMAND VS DIESEL ???????

    It's possibly just the mix of driving conditions - I don't do many really short journeys, though I have covered the full spectrum from town through to high speed motorway.

    TFSI CYL ON DEMAND VS DIESEL ???????

    Have tried the 140ps COD engine in a Golf GT and it has much better acceleration than my 122ps A3 which I also find gutless. Fine on motorways and around town but call for acceleration and it takes its time. I've done 2000 miles in my A3, varied driving and overall average is 46mpg - from day one

    Does anybody have the S Tronic 1.4 Sport?

    The A3 has the totally new EA211 modular engine. Compared to the one in the A1 its aluminium instead of iron, has belt driven cams rather than chain and has the exhaust manifold integrated into the cylinder head which helps it to warm up very quickly which helps economy and emissions. I don't...

    Does anybody have the S Tronic 1.4 Sport?

    The A1 and A3 1.4 engines are totally different even though they are available with the same power output My A3 122ps S-Tronic is, like the previous 3 S-Tronics I've had on 1.4, 1.8 and 2.0 petrol engines, totally smooth and jerk free at all speeds, including in Stop / Start traffic The 122 and...
