Thanks for the response. I guess one of the key things on the next car is to take it easy on the options. Cragl, I agree, there's probably little, or no monetary value in these, rather than perhaps make it more saleable, or at the time when specs, useful. I think on the next purchase I may look...

Hi - Picked up a brand new Daytona grey S3 saloon last September. Situation has changed, meaning that we need a larger car. Went round a couple of dealerships (Audi and BMW). Best offer part ex was just under 21k. I paid 39k 12 months and 6.5k miles ago. Is the depreciations really this bad on...

Luckily yes. Just a pita.

It could be worse. This happened to me over the weekend. Just awaiting it to be taken to the body shop.

I actually tried to order Estoril on my S3 saloon, but was told that due to a change in paint supplier they were unable to guarantee the quality. They specifically mentioned that there were issues with applying the paint on the bumpers. I find that response hard to swallow.

Just waiting for the hire car. They've said that they can get me something larger by 4pm. I have a roof box jammed full of stuff as we were visiting relatives over the weekend. The initial offer of a Fiat 500, or Fiesta were politely declined. I don't care what the car is as long as we can get...

Yes. With regards to the audi assist. It was in the tax disc holder when I picked up the car. I had completely forgotten about it when I had the issue. Luckily as I was standing by the bonnet waiting for the steam to clear I noticed the number on the tx disc holder.

Just read your post. That sounds like a complete pia. Still on the tow truck being recovered. Hope you get yours sorted.

Anyone else have any issues with their S3 saloon. I've owned mine since September 14. It's covered 4k miles. And is now being towed to an Audi garage to be fixed as it overheated. First sign was the red warning thermometer on the dash, then as I was trying to find a safe place to pull over (...

I would be keen to know too. This happens to me on an almost weekly basis it's getting to be a right pain. It usually happens when we synch up different phones to the car. My wife drives it in the week and I tend to drive it only on the weekends.

Oh, I guess didn't think about getting it wrapped as the box is grey and sort of matches the car.

I forget exactly, but I had the bars, the box and the bags for 65% off. It's been very handy and it's pretty solid.

Not as cool as that, but I've found the roof box to be pretty handy on the saloon. My daughters buggy takes up all of the boot, therefore we use the roof box a lot. In terms of price, I had a good deal from the dealer as I bought the car prior to it being launched and had been told that the boot...

Slightly late posting, but picked up my Daytona grey S3 on September 6th.

Hi, Previously owned an M3 convertible, but now taking delivery of a slightly more practical S3 saloon. Ordered in November last year and finally taking delivery on Friday. To say it's been a palava has been an understatement. Dealer has been pretty good though. They've lent me an A4 allroad...
