    Questions on the A3 before I collect the car tomorrow.

    Advanced Key with Hill Hold or Bang & Olufsen sound system.

    I concur with the above posts. Adv key is nice to have but it won't change your experience as much as the B&O sound system. In my opinion, the electric seat/lumbar support, parking system plus with park assist, auto dimming/folding wing mirrors are three other "nice to have, but can live...

    Best diesel engine suited to auto gearbox?

    I am partial to this, but I think that the 2.0 150-BHP TDI is the best option with S-tronic transmission. Personally haven't seen as many 1.6 TDI as the 2.0's.

    What colour is your 8V?

    Hi there. Another Misano Red A3 S-Line here. I think that this colour suits the style and projected image of the car well. Daytona is more mature and serious, and although it is also a very good colour as well, I feel that it would become another grey A3 on the road.

    Dealer couldn't get close to the price!

    So can I assume that most A3/S3 buyers here are opting for the Audi 5.9% fixed / 6.4% APR PCP finance deal? Is the interest rate negotiable?

    Dealer couldn't get close to the price!

    Hi there, I have done quite a bit of bargaining, including making public transport journeys to 8 different Audi Dealers over the past 30 days. I was also in touch with brokers to get the best purchase price possible. Eventually, I got a 9.55% off the on-the-road-price, not through a broker...

    A3 S line or S3 Quattro

    Hi guys. Thanks for your input so far. I will be checking the WhatCar? calculator to get some real-world figures. No, I have not test drive any of the A3's yet. But all the reviews I have read have been positive. I will also check out the 1.8 TFSI version. The S3 is really quite tempting...

    A3 S line or S3 Quattro

    Hi guys, I have been following this forum for quite a while and I am going to place an order for an A3 soon. However, I am still torn between the A3 5-door 2.0 TDI S-line S Tronic and the S3 3-door 2.0 TFSI S Tronic. When I price up both cars with the options I want, the A3 is £36k while the...
