This review says it all really and why I will not be buying one:
"Whereas the A3’s dashboard was once an example of clean, effective minimalism and solidity, there are now vast swathes of shiny plastics that sound hollow to the touch and, along with some more hard and scratchy plastics on the doors, contribute to an overall look that comes across as a step backwards – which is a real shame, even if it might not be a deal-breaker in the mind of Joe Public."
They've gone from looking a bit dated to a Japanese interior...

Think they are also now using that cheap and nasty felt carpet job in the boot now too! Audi’s used to have a nice premium carpet
 
I had a look at a 35TFSI S Line SB last week when my car was in for service.
Positive - The seats were comfortable for the couple of minutes I sat in it.
As for the rest of it... Where do you start?
I won't be buying one.
 
Looks like a black pack on this sline i seen yesterday it looks decent
