My god Sepang looks so yesterday lol

Sepang is beaut...no question....not feeling it on the TT though...maybe its the lighting...I had red leather on a black MKI and adored it...red and blue...juries out for me...probably stunning in the flesh!

As far as blue colours released so far Sepang has yet too be beaten, Ara blue has a shot at its title l just need to see it on a S3 to confirm this

Long time listener, first time caller.

Picking up an S3 Sportback in Daytona this afternoon. Do people still want pics as it's a relatively common one...?

Ordered virtual cockpit, B&O and super sport seats.

I'm counting down the hours now... changing from an A Class 2.0 Diesel so I'll prob notice an increase in power...A3 was an option when the A Class was ordered 3 years ago, but my head was turned by the Benz being so new. Very much looking forward to the swap!
Yes please iv ordered glacier white but having second thoughts and keep looking at Daytona

Does it annoy anyone else that they look the wrong way round?

I've ordered the black edition and have those alloys. I'm hoping they look a lot better in person. May need to take it to the paint shop and get those spokes darkened

It's going to be a very common colour soon. More paint character I think in cosmos blue, Daytona grey or panther black.

Can you send me some more pictures as I'm really thinking about changing to Daytona before it's too late

I'll get some up ASAP, was gonna wait until i get it detailed on Fri morning, but i'll get some up today hopefully.

I originally ordered Navarra but I'm really really happy with it. Delighted, in fact.

EDIT: as luck would have it, the dealer I'm ordering from just called and has an Ara Blue Q2 coming in this afternoon so I can check it out today!

Where have you guys been lucky enough to see Ara Blue? I'm in Bedford and want to try and get to see it, have already got the wheels in motion for my order in Ara Blue but would love to see it to confirm.

S3 Collected, I havnt stopped grinning from ear to ear, what a machine!

Tried uploading pics but files are too big, I will sort them out and upload when I get home from work.

I would appreciate some real world advice on how to run the engine in, managed to refrain from "booting it" (well maybe once). Obviously won't be launching for a good while.

Today is a gooooooood day.

Picked my cheeky 999cc A3 Sportback Sport last week. Already done 1000 miles around most of Scotland. The car is Ibis white (sorry it's so grubby - winter roads), which is a white white if you see what i mean, and suits the car pretty well (money saved on metallic paint went towards the comfort and sound pack - nice). Any questions on the tiny engine welcome, but its a great little unit!

Cool, sounds like you're loving it Richard.
Where have you been clocking up that mileage?
Is it a road trip holiday or is it with work?
Happy motoring! :smiley:

Managed to reduce the size of the images, hope the quality hasn't been effected too much.

So far I do not have anything negative to say about the S3, absolutely loving it and finding any excuse to take her for a quick spin. Struggling to drive conservatively as the noise in higher revs is addictive and those gear shifts :wub:

I will get some better pics in the sunlight over the weekend.

Off for a random lunchtime drive now :)

New here but picked up my A3 Saloon yesterday!

Went for 2.0 TDI Cosmic Blue, All as standard except from Heated seats, folding mirrors and B+O

Didn't see many pics of the saloon in Cosmic Blue (I was panicking as I could see it as black it certain images) but I'm thrilled with it!

I'll post some pics up at the weekend once I get to enjoy her in the daylight!

Looks absolutely stunning mate! That blue looks really good on the SB - bet you're pleased as punch!

Always wondered with new cars, do they have a break in period or can you literally drive it like you stole it from day 1?

Go Team Navarra!
Looking great Frazer and the sun came out specially.
Out of interest how did you reduce the size of the pics? I've given up trying to post any meantime.
