Regretted Options?

Regretted option: LED lights, not really any better than xenons, but 500 quid dearer.

My regret is not spec'ing LED lights. I much prefer the front indicators also being the DRL. On Xenons it just dims the DRL and a little indicator flashes next to the main lights - not as noticeable as the LED version and doesn't look as good.

Not surprised they made it standard on the facelift A3 S-Line / S3.

NO DOUBT! actually the only way I like my "pano" is closed! when it's open, it does not offer any better feature than a standard sunroof when slid all the way back...and it looks rather stupid when it's open to boot! I'm guessing Audi had to opt for this silly design to increase headroom in the backseat? This automotive reviewer summed it up oh-so perfectly! http://bestride.com/blog/review-audi-a3-sedan-tdi-s-tronic-classy-efficiency/13344/
"Audi calls the standard sunroof “panoramic”, but it’s more glassy than hole-y."

...but, I can't call this a regrettable option, as we in the USA have no choice, as every A3 comes with this. Arg!

Well if you look at every other Audi barring the A1,they all have sunroofs =the glass doesn't cover the whole width of the roof and looks really stupid,so the A3's pano-roof is more comparable to a pano roof than a sunroof in terms of design at least l love it

Me too mate - would be hard pushed not to have one on the next car now.

Nothing really. Hold assist probably. I know some people don't like it but I've found it useful under some circumstances. However, it can be finnicky and difficult to have confidence in though. A few times it's stuck on for me and left me stranded in traffic as I manually turn it off. Getting it seen to next week. As part of my discount it was a thirty quid extra so I thought why not?
