It appears that only S-Tronic sportback and saloons are available to configure on line on the Audi site.
Has Audi dropped the manual models ?

You can still get a maula A5 coupe though! However, I went for the s-tronic for the type of car it is, but if I went back to an S3 in the future I'd still look at the manual.Just wondering if they are / have phased out manuals on the 3 as they have on the 4 & 5.
Not sure if a manual TTS still available.
S3 & TTS 'were' the most powerful remaining manuals in the Audi range up to now.

If this is true pleased I got a manual S3 saloon when I did.....premium price on resale in years to come for real drivers..ducks!!!!!!!
Yep proper "old school" won't even consider dsg. She's never driven the RS3 for that reason, the only car I've ever owned that she will not drive!
Edit - I drive her S3 though and really enjoy the manual still tbf.

Will be a shame if they do drop the manual completely.
Assume it is still available on the GOLF R so no real reason to drop it ?
Manual Box - Just Love It - Very Slick Shift - Totally Engaging- -Sorry but I suspect there's every reason to drop it as, by all accounts, a miniscule percentage of S3s are ordered with a manual box. I was actually surprised manual was still available.

Agree - -I don't doubt it, nor do I doubt that there are people who prefer a manual. All I'm saying is that such people are in the extreme minority and the sales obviously don't justify it in a lot of models. I suspect the S3 is borderline and I wouldn't be at all surprised if the option disappeared now or in the future.

Totally agree .... to drop the manual would be a crying shame.
Last manual I had was a TTS and after 2 s-tronic cars there are times when I miss the manual.
Saying that - I may miss the auto if I went back to manual after 5 years
When I had a weekend TTS loan I choice manual over DSG, first S3 test drive was DSG and ordered the manual, don't consider myself a "real driver" but just prefer manuals and cant see this changing unless I end up doing a lot of city and rush hour driving
Same with the 'normal' TT, if you want quattro you need to have s-tronic. However, you can get a quattro TTS in manual or s-tronic!!! But the TT RS is quattro s-tronic onlyYou you can still get a 2.0 litre FRONT WHEEL DRIVE A5 but no quattro.
If you want a petrol A4 with manual gearbox then you are limited to a frickin 1.4 litre WTF ?
With the clamp down on 'dirty diesels' I wonder if Audi will start phasing in more petrol hybrids ?
in any case, the choice is getting VERY limited for manual gearbox 'rapid' Audis !

Which Audi dealer was still selling your wife the manual s3 & what does FL mean
The car I ordered last month is no longer available!
Same here. Other options to disappear recently from the S Line configuration are:
Door inlays light design.
Extended upholstery pack.
S Line suspension.
B&O (have to buy the Comfort Pack to get B&O at £995).
I understand the need to reduce costs by deleting unpopular options, but getting rid of S Line suspension and B&O is extreme to say the least.
See what you’ve done there T - clever guy!She's never driven the RS3 for that reason, the only car I've ever owned that she will not drive!
