Facelift THE NEW AUDI A3 (2016 FACELIFT) – STILL AHEAD OF THE CURVE

all I know is .... the LED lights on my car are spot on and thats all I'm concerned about 
visually they look ace and in use I am more than happy with their performance
compared to the LED lights on our TT, they are very comparable and both equally excellent !

the front end looks very 'plasticky' in this photo ? ...

You forgot the eyelashes
Don't put mascara on the eyelashes. Don't want it to be more pretty than
you veeeight!
Agreed it's all a bit too fussy looking and it's not Audi's usual clean lines design
Front similar to TT would look much better.
Not a fan of the jagged lights at all although like the new indicators.
Hopefully some good new wheel options and more bits included as standard.
May have to push myself into a TT...

that looks great mate.
love the darkened alloys, mirrors, grill and roof ....... very cool !
& agree, the revised S3 should have had similar front end styling

Stunning TTS is it not mate? But it has me slightly confused as it says,like it looks it's got a black styling package is it from Audi though? I will enquire lol
I think the previous owner has done all the revisions himeself and then Audi have generalised these mods as BSP lol.
I would drop the black roof, but like all the other 'darkened' mods.
It's a Audi demonstrator with just 95 miles on the clock no ex owner to speak of mate that's where it gets confusing lol

Hi mate, its more than likely a dealer pimp my TT thing to increase sales? Yeah remove the the black roof the rest is Audi
Just waiting for the call from my contact at the dealer. Whenever there's anything new he gives me a courtesy call "to see how things are going - oh and you might be interested to know that this month we're running a new promotion on...." It'll be interesting to see whether the facelift merits a courtesy call.
As it happens, his call might not be wasted. We've just returned from a holiday in the States and 2 weeks driving around in automatics, plus the good things I've read about the S-tronic on here, has made me think quite seriously about an S-tronic next time. Plus I've had time to reflect on the options I wish I'd had on my current 8V, so the right deal on a facelift model might find a warm reception. But I won't be phoning him...

It seems the A3 has gone on sale in Germany, albeit without the pricing information, brochures or configurator being online, so it's more of a blind pre-order. News is that the smaller engines are available to order immediately, larger engines (over 150ps) being available late may / June and the S3 being shipped in September...
Orders for smaller engines A3's to ship in July.
This is all from a German source so is relative to them, but we should only be a day or two behind. Problem is that the restrictions are factory set, so no S3 til September if this information is correct! Sorry.
Oh and there seems to be a delay on the S-Tronic models, so could be Manual only for the time being.

Nooooo!... Just kidding. I,m sure the R is almost as good as the S3....Specs and prices are to be released next week.
If the S3 S-Tronic is delayed until the end of the year looks like I will have to go back to the Golf R

Or a pfl s3 ?
These incessant delays are becoming extremely irritating. I ordered this car in February, but there was a mistake in the configuration so the car I ordered (that is today being offloaded at port for shipment to my dealer) is the wrong spec. Because of the facelift, I have to wait until September (if I'm lucky) to get a new one?
A seven month lead time for a mass produced three door hatch is ****** preposterous.

..although I know book opens next week..I have still been checking morning noon and night since Monday...!
All you peeps who are dying for a FL car... Just visit an Audi showroom sure they will sell one off the showroom floor or a in stock model far far quicker than a individual factory order that's what I would do

It's a common knowledge the first facelift car's will land in a Audi showroom each showroom/dealerships will receive stock models and high spec demonstrators
