The s3 is only like £10 a month more than an a3 Quattro black edition surely? It's only 2k less with a 2k less residule? But it will be a little more expensive on fuel. Not much mindOh yes, she said i could get an S3 BE after we discussed about quattro but really don't want high fuel costs, and higher monthly payments.
And i like filling up, say every 3 weeks.
Facelift Black Edition Diesel Quattro ordered.

Yes, that is correct, but then i wouldn't be satisfied with the BE 18" alloys, so would be mag-ride, 19's, so would be another £4k in different options + Ara and to be fair, i'm happy with my existing 184Q, she has been faultless and probably one of the best cars i have owned regarding power, looks and handling, so to me makes sense.
I've also owned a Mk4 R32 before, and absolutely hated the way i would only get 250-300 miles per tank, great sound though, so found my self counting the pennies too much regarding fuel, so this way it keeps me in check, if that makes sense.
I would have to change my A-S.net name....

The facelift s3 is very good on fuel, I averaged 35mpg over 1500 miles with mixed driving, a fair bit was hard as well. That was about 350 miles to a tank. My GTD only gets 450 to a tank driving reasonably and costs more to fill up...
Av had my S3 nearly 2 years and it's never averaged 35mpg more like 29.
That 7th gear on the stronic makes a lot of difference

I wonder why they didn't make the 184Q 7-speed, like on the new Tiguan 190?
I suppose it's a completely different engine, longitude - latitude thingy.

Ok, added S-line suspension to the build.
I'll have to wait and see what the experience will be like.

Bit different as this is an A5 to S5, but going from a A5 with sport suspension and 18" wheels to a S5 with Sline suspension and 19" I have noticed very little in real world comfort.

It's probably the little things you will notice over time, and how well it feels.
Or what if this just an Audi conspiracy, and really they only have one suspension type, and market it as different versions.... ch-ching!

I had the A5 for 2yrs and now the S5 for 1yr and if anything, I actually found the S5 more comfortable over speed bumps!
I am presuming the S5 has the same set-up as a S-Line A5??
