I bought an Ibis A3 and would never change it!! When its clean it look AMAZING and i dont think you can beat it! but it does get Dirty quickly!! The way i look at it... IF you change you will prob want to change back to Ibis again... If i was you i would stick with it!
I've got to admit, when I had my mind set on an S3, Ibis White was my first and last choice...so maybe you're right! And it'll be my pride and joy for quite a long time I expect so any dirt is does collect won't be there for long!
Ibis is stunning.
I love my Red Sportback - I also have Open Sky roof which means the roof is black so it has a different look.
Might get the grille gloss black to match.
You will love your S3 SB.
I really hope so mate! Looking forward to owning a DSG box for the first time tbh and just sitting inside that interior for the first time. It's what sold it for me really...it's class leading. I did fancy the open sky roof as the black contrasts well with the white but it's the only option I didn't go with in the end...I couldn't justify paying £900+ for some glass at the end of the day...
Go with the gut! Imo white is best, then get the wheels powder coated gloss black. Hmmmmm yum!
I think I'm going to stick...I just hope that red S3 from this morning doesn't show it's face again...
Hi Andy
Whats going to happen here is that all those affiliated to Ibis are going to vote Ibis and vice versa with Red.
I have been looking at new S3's and have focussed my search entirely on Ibis Black Edition models (currently got a Phantom S3).
Stick with white is my input, especially as i'm kind of on the fence. I'll throw another spanner in the works and dont mean to upset anyone but I think the reds suit the 3 door better than the SB.
** And don't paint the damn wheels black!
Agreed...silly to think otherwise wasn't I!
To be fair, you may be right as the red one I saw was actually a 3 door. I noticed one in work's car park before and went and had a look, which was a 5-door and to be honest, the red didn't do it justice so that's kind of made my mind up!
Hi Andy,
Firstly congrats on ordering what is gonna be a simply amazing car!!
Secondly, DROOL!!!
Love, Love, Love the Ibis white S3.
Dont get me wrong I love my phantom black S3, but last year I had my heart set on an Ibis White one and I let it get away. I was gutted at the time and was so piddled off I decided that if I couldnt have a white one I didnt want any (was buying 2nd hand by the way-prob obvious at this stage lol).
Anyway, roll on over a year and I have an S3, ok it's not Ibis white, and I only have it a week.....but I love it and it puts the biggest smile on my chops every time I get into it. I literally cannot wait to drive it every day.
At the end of the day colour is personal choice, and your initial choice was the Ibis....as somebody else said if you do change you might regret that and want to go back to white.
Congrats again...you lucky ba$t@7d (only joking)
Haha, many thanks!
...what if I said I was only 23 as well....would you hate me more?
I fell in love with S3s years ago and knew I had to have one at some point and I don't fancy waiting another 2/3 years before the new one comes out so if I don't do it now...I never will! So after a substantial amount of time collecting funds and MANY unsuccessful trips to the bank of Mum and Dad...I've finally taken the plunge! REALLY looking forward to getting it though...got given an estimated delivery time of Feb which is killing me!
The worst thing is, I've staved off even having a test drive just so I get that ultimate thrill of getting in it for the first time, turning the key and having mile after mile of endless fun!
Where are you from by the way...I might have to come and rub it in your face when I get it haha
Well that photo hasn't helped me in the slightest lol! Always throwing spanners in the works you lot!
No, you should have gotten a 3 door!
Ah that old chestnut!
I'll happily agree the sportback has too many doors but the rear lights win it for me!
have i mentioned suzuka grey?
Again...not helping!! haha. Is this colour still available? Audi exclusive or not? Something tells me it would be even better in person as well...
Love white .Theres a SB S3 ibis by me but the rims are black ruins it ,i think black wheels are garbage tbh .
I agree, I've never really been in to black wheels...my personal taste obviously so no offence to anyone who owns a set.
