Facelift THE NEW AUDI A3 (2016 FACELIFT) – STILL AHEAD OF THE CURVE

.... maybe a deliberate ploy to make you take the aluminium option LoL. Why mess with the vents tho if it's not broke don't fix it look at the bouncy rear end instead or the creasing seat bolsters. If I ever get a customer survey from Audi last thing I'd criticise would be the vents - confused !!
I have a feeling if you spec aluminium, the vents will still be red? The 'inlays' are the bits on the doors and above globebox surely? For example if you specced gloss black on the PFL, you'd still get silver vents? Or not?

I know you guys are mostly after the fast highly specced A3 but any ideas when info on the lowly new 1.0 engine will be available?

The half engine will be available from week 25. (Page 9 of this thread courtesy of @JordanT92)

Could well be ?? PFL vents were silver only so I've no idea what we have in store with the FL. Have seen pics of FL showing both a silver aluminium and also a black outer ring but both sharing the red border (had to choose my words carefully!!)

Looks like the UK may well be getting the V spokes they've just joined the wing arms on the configurator so two choices of 19" wheel :-

Under the standard spec for the S3 on the I phone app, it says rear shock absorption. Could this be the fix for the bouncy suspension? Or am I missing something.
 
Says that for other models as well. I think there has been no suspension or steering tweaks, certainly audi have stated nothing..

I have no dog in the hunt for a facelift 8V.

I say Audi purposely made the cosmetics of the facelift ugly so that it would not overshadow the A4 this time, as it did the previous B8.5 A4.


What I do want to know is, will the non-virtual cockpit dash have the wider information screen between the gauges like the non-virtual cockpit B9 A4 and the A6, A7, and A8?


like the larger sized info screen on the instrument cluster they showed off in the car's sedan concept?
^ Something tells me Audi is not going to do this.
