First post on the forum. My FL S3 Sportback, S-tronic on a dreary, wet day in a supermarket carpark. Finally decided to get rid of my 12 year old, diesel, Skoda VRS. Once I had test driven the S3 there was no question whatsoever about whether I was going to buy one.

Hello. I used to live in Edinburgh but I haven't lived there for a long time now. Thanks. I do like the colour too. I wanted something understated that doesn't shout "I'm a fast car" because the S3 (to me at least) is a car that can be a can be both civilised and rather quick :grinning:

Judging by the numbers of Daytona or Black Audis on the Autobahns in Germany that might actually be correct......

Can anyone confirm, that sweeping indicators are standard on the FL s3? Or do they only come with the matrix light package?

FL S-Line and up cars get rear as standard. Front dynamic turn signals are only available with Matrix Headlights.

Hhmmmm.... I might just have to ask them to stick that on my build. Anybody think that could delay the car? It isn't due to start until 20th February

My FL S3 sportback has the LED headlights but not matrix LED. Front indicators don't sweep. However, I do have the Audi ring puddle lights that people are complaining are missing in another thread (front only)......

If you can spec matrix lights then do it. I have them on my FL and they are amazing. I drive everywhere on full beam with no issues :)

It could move it by a week or so - but never know. Worth asking dealers pretty soon as it'll be locked for build pretty soon.

Just out of interest when have you been quoted for delivery? Just seeing what manufacturers are doing re new car road rules from 1st April as cars over £40k attract the £450 premium rate tax.

When it says "cars bought before 1st April 2017" do you think it means cars that were ordered or ones being collecting?
It depends when your dealer registers your car I suppose? So if you ordered before April 1st and it doesn't get registered until after that date then I assume it falls into the new tax rates?

I thought it dependent upon date of registration so 31st March better than 1st April

Seeing that my build date is 27th March, it's not looking good!

Sure it's been asked before but what do you reckon are the chances Audi offer Sepang as an option again before the next A3 is released, say in the next 2 years or so....?
