Climate control offers nothing for me. When I've had it I spent as much time adjusting it as I do manual aircon.
Next model A3

You’re not using it right - set it to 19C and never touch it again.

Quite, the only time it needs changing is when there a lot off fogging or icing on the front and side windows, then just set it to max. Absolutely no need to keep changing the settings and the worst thing you could do...You’re not using it right - set it to 19C and never touch it again.

That’s probably gonna be around £40k basic I bet, closer to £50k with some options! Madness.
Crikey, big numbers, might have to look elsewhere then in a couple years, might go EV.
Got a courtesy 68 plate A3 at the mo, the engine designation 30 TSFI on the back seems to confuse people, got asked twice if it’s a 3ltr hehe. It’s got VC and if I’m honest I’m completely underwhelmed by it, £1400 for that is too much, it’s a bit naff imo. Going to have my new S3 de- badged, can’t be bothered with more letters, pointless.

VC is a bit naff - love it!
Soon analogue dials will be an optional extra.

It's been a few years so I can't remember how good manual aircon was.
I don't mind Cc though. I set it to 20 as a default generally and up it to a max of 21.5 and down to 19c and that's enough for me.
Plus it looks quite smart with the cc

I'm in no rush to change at all tbh and yeah will happily wait to see what the next platform S3 looks like ... and costs !
But yeah I finally have a car which I am not itching to change after 2.5 years which is unheard of lol.
March 20 atm is my anticipated change timeline, so lots of new cars will be out by then including the new S3, Golf GTi and R, Merc A35 /45 etc.
I'm also enjoying the prospect of holding onto my cash instead of giving it to Audi as I have the last 10 years lol.
Makes you think just how much more expensive the next A3 will be? I'm guessing lots more.
We are getting forced into lease or PCP deals, as to `buy` new is just becoming far too expensive.

lol.....A beauty there is no doubt...are you sure TB is metallic??.....Audi say solid...and Audi are always reet
Lease is looking more and more appealing to me, or...buy a used car cash
If the next S3 is pushing £40k or well into £40's with just basic extras then I will definitely look elsewhere as that is too much for this level of car.

Used is one of my considerations at the moment, would love to go RS6 but the cost for a 2 year old one it still crazy! Could be tempted by an RS3, S6, S5 SB or S4 maybe.
I fancy buying Snake's RS3 off him in a couple years

ha ha .... I will put you top of the list
So Audi are now doing full flat paints ie in green and blue used to be just red, white,black, yellow , Turbo blue flat or black makes no odds really i ain't into conjecture mate this threads full of second guessing Audi and l know for a fact l won't be buying another A3/S3, totally happy with my current car and I'll be keeping it for another 2 years easily as it cost me a lot of money
Nice one mateha ha .... I will put you top of the list

Everything going the same way, my mate just bought a new Skoda VRS diesel (184bhp) and with extras before discount it was £31K
But the + or - 0.5 can make the world of difference!
Sometimes I even had the left and right side of the car in different .5s
I find 20c isn't quite warm enough at the moment, 21c is just right. Girlfriend hates the fact it’s not on an even number.But the + or - 0.5 can make the world of difference!

Are you mad lol - - generally has to be an even number and defo the same on both sides
Facelift entertainment is no longer a volume number that really upset me and the wife
haha, brillaint, I have to say the .5 doesn't bother me, but I do like both sides to be the same, and do as such when the wife isn't in the carBut the + or - 0.5 can make the world of difference!

ha ha ... I'm glad it's not just me who has to have both sides the same
For those interested, the new A1 will come with the below engines, transmissions and drivetrain (no sign of S1 yet obviously). As we all know Configurator currently only showing 1.0 116ps:
They do talk about two special editions, sline style and sline contrast

Maybe the new S1 is actually getting less power? Seams strange to have a none S1 with 200bhp, unless the new S1 is going to be 250 BHP+?

They did do a 180bhp in the old model for a short time I think, possibly before the S1 was launched. Don’t know how it’d handle 200bhp through the front wheels. I had a 150bhp one the other day as a courtesy car and that seems to spin it’s wheels a little in the wet and I wasn’t accelerating particularly harshly.
I think 200 bhp through the front wheels is fine, if driven to match conditions.
Had a Scirocco R previously with 260 bhp through the fronts and you just had to be sensible in the wet - but it would grip like a good un in the dry and felt like a missile being so light
Floor it in damp or wet conditions though and yes the tyres will spin.

either that or I’ve got too used to what the S3 is like

Oh ... I omitted to mention that the Scirocco R schreaded front tyres every 6,000 miles lol
So that is the downside of lots of BHP through the front wheels

The 200 bhp engine is for S-line models and the launch editionFor those interested, the new A1 will come with the below engines, transmissions and drivetrain (no sign of S1 yet obviously). As we all know Configurator currently only showing 1.0 116ps:

They are going on the A3 saloon BE. First column Sportback, second column Saloon, third column Convertible.
So the `New` 19" Standard alloys, are just the same standard 19" alloys the car originally came with from launch?
TBF, the original S3 alloys are by far the best A3 design wheels Audi have done. Didn't like those `wave` wheels some have on there S3's as they look like 2.0TDI wheels.
Don't like the look of those Black addition wheels either.
