    Is this Misano or Brilliant Red

    Hi guys, Re the photos below of the new S3 that was all over the internet a few weeks ago, does anyone know if this is Misano or Brilliant Red ? I ask as I'm configuring the car and trying to reduce the options somewhat (as I've gone a bit mad). The Misano Red is obviously a £525.00 option...

    Front brake disc size

    Out of interest, does anyone know what size the front brake discs are on the SB 2.0TDI ? On my Diesel Rocco, they are 288mm but the more powerful 170 Tdi got the GTI's bigger 312mm setup. Just wondering what the A3 Sportbacks get for the various engine models ?

    Folding Mirror package

Reason I ask, is that I'm stil debating between an A3 SB and the new Golf GTD (when it's available to configure at the end of this month).

    From a Diesel to a 1.4 TFSI 122ps

    Hi guys, despite the negative reaction to any discount from the dealers (see separate thread), I'm still pushing ahead (following advise from the other thread mentioned) but I'm trying to rationalise my engine choice. I had originally thought I would go for the 1.4 TFSI 122ps, however the wife...

    Quick question on the climate control

    Hi all, I have a quick question on the climate control in the new A3 which my dealer has been unable to answer.

    1.4 TFSI (122ps) vs 2.0 TDI (150ps)

    Hi Guys, I'm going to a dealer over the weekend to test drive an A3 with the 2.0 TDI (150ps) engine. I expect it to drive quite similar (in respect to outright performance) as my current 2.0 TDI VW Scirocco, and that's the engine I was going for. Unfortunately they don't have a 1.4 TFSI for...

    Under seat Storage bins ?

    Can anyone with the S-Line package confirm if there are storage bins under the seats, and how big they are. Had these on my previous Golf, and whilst they were tiny on the VW, they were great for bulbs, fuses, pens etc. Unfortunatley one of the bad points about the Scirocco is lack of storage...
