Facelift Jassy's Discussion/Build/Wait Voodoo Blue S3 Saloon Thread

[Jassyo06]

Ha! You read my mind. My first choice was Agate Grey which is pretty close to Daytona. I bought used though and there's not much stock to choose from in the OPC's so I settled for my second choice, Platinum Silver. This is the wee beastie.....

Boy oh Boy there must have been a lot of tossing and turning in bed over this decision......no going back now. Personally I would have gone for the saloon, as it IMO just looks better and there are a ton of sportback/hatchback Audi 3 models on UK roads. Love your spec...no nanny devices.
Rest easy now and wait to when Spring delivers the new baby.

Mind reader....Didnt sleep much at all last night...lol,build weeks are from mid November on wards

To be fair Matt, if i was in a position to order and exclusive, i'd rather have it in a more bizarre and rarer colour, like sand beige, zanzibar brown etc.

 

[MattSedg]

i was thinking mocha latte rs6 wannabe

To be fair Matt, if i was in a position to order and exclusive, i'd rather have it in a more bizarre and rarer colour, like sand beige, zanzibar brown etc.

if i was getting exclsuve it would be either purple, dark green like the new sonoma rs5 or....mocha latte

 

[Tom.H]

@MattSedg you'd have to then go exclusive interior to match

 

[BarryG79]

The Rover bit was right

@jassyo06

am asking for a slap here

ll'l reply to this post tomorrow when am sober....and poorer....lol

 

[4K]

Noise mate Noise...heard my son giving his demo M4 a cold start last night.....and l was like a kid @Xmas mate,it sounds as good as any RS3..So emailed the salesman to ask him if l could cancel my order, and if so, l sent him another Audi code with another configuration.

Not in love with getting a new car in Mid October....especially with a mega bucks paint.....don't want to have to pay £1200 for the Xpel,just after paying £9000 deposit for the S3...It does'nt feel right,got a car before in November and l did'nt see it at it's best till March....

Sounds like you got money to burn pal.

 

[AudiNutta]

This was it looking it's best but never lasted long, stick with the exclusive.

Thanks for the encouragement

 

[AudiNutta]

Tidy, I have a radiator in my garage that needs moving back around 6 inches so I can open my door a little more Bet you aren't South Wales based

 

[Jassyo06]

I wish, hopefully l will receive the quote today or tomorrow, my S3"s deposit is £7000 plus l bought the rear camera, matrix headlights, and different door trim inserts which comes close to £9000 that's a lot of money to me and yeah you could say l am burning it metaphorically , so burning another £2000 won't make any difference

I like it, works well with the black grills, rails...

 

[azibux1]

Nice one Jassyyyyyyyyyy!

Might as well enjoy it!

 

[scoss]

Me too mate, this is my 7th. I'd. bite your arm off for an RS3 but with my mileage couldn't justify it, the S3 is a good happy medium.

My friend has an M4 and it's a ****** monster. Guess they aren't really comparable, rear wheel drive coupe v lunatic hatch back. Definitely be happy with either, the price for the RS3 makes my eyes water though.

What's your average MPG on the motorway mate in your s3?

I personally really like that. Looks different and contrasts well with the black pack

 

[TYb]

What's your average MPG on the motorway mate in your s3?

I've just hit 8,000 miles and my overall average is 35.7mpg, on the motorway if sticking to 70 it creeps up to 40mpg over the 40 miles. On the motorway I have the car in individual with the box and engine set to auto.

I'm really impressed with the economy. I try have fun with it on the weekends.

 

[scoss]

lAST NIGHT........

Off the mobile site.....WTF.....View attachment 132738

Apologies for my naivety but am I right in thinking that after the 4 years you either walk away and give the car back. Or buy shell out the 20k and buy the car? With the former I assume the 10k you drop is lost?

 

[Snake Pliskin]

Ok so what's happened now @jassyo06 ?

Is the RS3 back on ?

I can't keep up lol

I tried loading the code but would accept the last letter ? so not sure what you've gone for sorry.

You sound very good! I doubt if id get 40 if I owned one. I do 20k a year so I can't afford the running costs that would come with the s3.

I do circa 15k a year, the M5 is so busy that 70 is realistic, even if I do around the 85 mark it still returns 35 - 37mpg, they are very good considering the power.

I came from a TT tdi ultra which was on a average of 52mpg, would have probably kept that longer if it wasn't a manual.

This may hurt your ears, my partner thinks ara looks like Peugeot 206 blue!!

^ Got to agree ...

Waiting on the salesman getting back to me with the finance figures, the spec of it ain't anywhere near as exotic as the S3 av ordered mate

Yeah exactly this, just like you do with all cars on pcp

 

[Snake Pliskin]

It don't need to be an exotic spec pal.

Seriously, the heart & soul of these cars is that amazing 5 cylinder engine which feels & sounds soooooo special !

The extras are just garnish.

You would not regret getting one mate ... I absolutely love mine & NONE of the shine has worn off 1.5 years on.

No reply from the dealer yet.....

 

[Snake Pliskin]

Code worked this time.

Far from low spec pal.

Perfect balance imo

Pretty much exactly how I would spec one & you have all the 'must have' items included.

I'm not hung on on pano roofs but I know that's important to you.
