Well l thought l would balance the books a little considering the other thread l started about the S3's road handling,

1.Driving the car, me and the S3 never really hit it off instantly,the car's gearbox/engine settings are quite complexed for someone new to Audi/S-tronic cars and 30 years of driving a manual, but l am slowly but surely getting there, only driven the car 350 miles since new,nearly 2 weeks ago.

The good stuff...
2. Totally smitten by how the car looks,the BSP/ROOF RAILS/PANOROOF......and of course Spangle Bloo..its right up my street in the styling aesthetics...stakes,overall the best looking car l have had to date.
3.Lunar Silver Leather...LUUUV IT...My cars interior reminds of a Kinder surpise egg...lol.
4.Them door mirrors STUNNING......they have a lovely silky looking sheen to them.
5.Audi Xenons AWESOME...Mega bright and have a lovely Blue white tint to them...5500K? FAR BETTER than my ST's ever where, all other exteriors lights are CLASS...the only other car i have seen close up with classier looking lights is the Maclaren 650S.
6.Technology pack,the Satnav system is immense....it even shows you the stars on the horizon "at night of course" lol.Looking forward to hooking up the Audi Connect for the Google maps
7.Peformance. "Engage No'1"lol it's a very fast car indeed,my son Jordan want to show me the "Launch Control" "he's 23 so he wants to impress his dad"but he's too busy selling Audi's..so we will meet up soon to give it a go...
8.Panoroof, so glad l compromised my build spec slightly to get this, my favourite item on the car.
9.Bang and Olufsen..Sounds really good once set up, one word sums it up "Clarity" only listened to the DAB radio so far, but it has great potential, l will eventually get my own music on board.

These are just the things l have noticed so far in nearly 2 weeks.

Best car i have owned

Oh l forgot to mention.....
10.Cracking 8V forum....great Mods and great friendly member's

and l have tooooooooooo post, just one more photo of my car...LOL THE INTERIOR THAT IS...

I'm loving the lunar silver interior mate!
I test drove a white S3 Saloon to convince me to order a Stronic Hatchback and that had lunar silver..it looked immense, but just couldn't bring myself to spec it on mine as I am a sucka for all black interiors, plus I was concerned about jeans etc staining the seats.
I think the silver looks more expensive and bespoke and is a good cost free option

Alien 2 was better. The third was the weakest of the trilogy (not counting the shambles that was resurrection & Prometheus)

I have the same leather, sealed it with Nanolex synthetic sealant and it repels all jean marks, chocolate & the mrs's makeup :)
I really want silver alcantara on my new build but dare not go there... just could be too much of a nightmare!
 
Super Sports Seats!

l totally agree, jim camerons "Vietnam in Space" is by far the best of the 4,Prometheus was a stunning film to look at it promised a lot,but it never delivered,maybe Jim Cameron will direct the second Prometheus film,Alien 3 was the only dvd l had lying about,as all my mooooovies are on the Blu ray format and l am sure the Tech pack doesnt play them sadly

If you want to play a good movie on your super tech pack thingy ma bobbin- Drive. Has a superb soundtrack, very synth pop and great to drive to while you're (not) driving. Other superb audio films are (predictably) The Matrix, Gravity (won an oscar for its sound composition) and if you want to go all out then LOTR will make good use of your B&O across 9 hours of film.

You can snuggle into your SS (not nazi) seats, hit launch control, whack the volume up to 39 and ignore the wife as Frodo (spoiler alert) saves middle earth.

Alien 3 was a great film. Aliens not Alien 2 was just a shoot em up. Which is another good film, Shoot em up with Clive Owen.

Shoot em up - QUALITY

Yeah Aliens - just using the 2 for clarity. Aliens was a sci fi horror and alien 3 could have done with some shooting.

Alien 3 was more like Alien, atmospheric and suspenseful, it didn't need any shooting.

The "ALIEN 3 directors cut" is the film that it should have been,but at the time 2hrs 34mins,meant less viewings at the cinema=lower box office profits..David Fincher actually dis-owned fox studio's before its release...just a little of useless info..lol
