I'm struggling to understand the standard spec on the new S3, does it have adaptive cruise control? And I can't believe it doesn't have rear sensors as standard! Looking at getting one on lease and should be ordering tomorrow, pcp working out too expensive!

 

[SimonM95]

Ive just noticed that my order tracking on youAudi has finally changed from my PFL spec to my FL spec. Still no build week though

Go onto Carwow. They have a complete run down of what's standard and what's not as you go through the order.

Did a quick configure for a new S3 SB FL S-tronic. Floret Silver, B&O, Roof Rails, Privacy and rear sensor. Not a bad saving below on a car that's not on the road yet! View attachment 94653

Keep going, you'll get more discount than that;

View attachment 94438 View attachment 94439

And its Macau Blue/Ara Blue...Macaw is a parrot...lol

I m going to my penneth in here

I think this is indeed cosmic blue ... I did a hell of a lot of googling when the rumour was cosmic was coming to the a3 ... And that colour is cosmic BUT it is a wrap ... and as we know cosmic became cosmos which is oh how can I describe such an Audi mesmerising colour ... Dark blue ... My excitement turned into a brooding pout when the truth came out ....

Build in the first week of September, delivery sometime around the end of September / beginning of October then.

My FL order went in on 25th May, no build date on your Audi yet... (Got Matrix LED's)

Lol...You first..

 

[SpeedyFrog]

And here we go for the long wait!
Audi S3 Sportback S Tronic ordered. Oh yes it is!!!
Re-added Audi Parking System Plus, Privacy Glass (was not keen on this but every single S3 I saw in the street had them and it grew on me!). Kept mono.pur (oh yes!) and added the reversible mat for my road/mountain bikes.
Went via Carfile. Excellent discount. Straightforward. No ********. The most enjoyable experience buying a car ever!

 

[Scottyg]

What discount did you manage to get? Great spec.

I already had 3 silver cars (ok nothing like floret silver) and I have to have daytona grey at least once But floret silver is indeed a beautiful silver.

 

[pauly69]

That's a nice discount, you lucky boy! Can you clarify if that's 14% off the on the road price or the RRP incl options?

Good spec too, most of the toys on there

I have now been told there are delays on the:

Virtual Cockpit
Matrix LEDLights
1.4 TFSI COD engines

I honestly have no idea who/what to believe. :/

Don't think there is a delay on virtual cockpit. I have that speced and my confirmed build week is next week, WK26.

I'm not saying there is a delay in Virtual cockpit or any of the above... I just wish Audi and their dealers would get their **** together and give us the correct info. Something is obviously wrong, and I am certain it's the Matrix lights, but give me the facts and stop misleading me with misinformation. I literally spoke to three members of Audi UK's customer services team last week, along with my dealer, and got 3 different reasons for why I still do not have a build week.
