    A3/S3 delivery lead time?

    I waited 22 months for my 45 Comp. I understand that the 45 Comp has the longest lead times out of all the A3models / versions.

    A3/S3 delivery lead time?

    I think for the A3 is just white LED on the door panels only. I have not seen an option to order/add the extended ambient light pack. that may only be available for the S3.

    A3/S3 delivery lead time?

    The Audi site shows that ambient lighting is now standard on the A3 from the sport upwards. I think its just the doors. Really annoying as I ordered the extended ambient lighting pack back in sept 21, car got built in May 23 and they never fitted the ambient pack on the doors as it was a 23 car...

    Hybrid modes (battery hold vs charge battery)

    Same here, had my 45 for 2 weeks, done 1500 miles. Loving the car. Yes i find that annoying too., it starting in EV every time. I am not sure if this can be changed. However, still loving its quickness and handling, Its in sport mode all the time. Top speed so far recorded using a Vbox is...

    A3/S3 delivery lead time?

    Finally picked up my 45 Competition yesterday. Only thing missing was the ambient lighting. Hi got to say, it’s a fantastic drive, really impressed with the hybrid, it pretty rapid, quite a firm ride and holds the road well. the B&O sound is lacking in depth and punch but I think that will warm...

    A3/S3 delivery lead time?

    I knew the price of the vehicle at the point of ordering. What i did not know was that the vehicle would take 22+months to arrive and that the on the road price would be the price at the time of registration not the price given when ordering it. Usually you order a car and 4-6 months later it...

    A3/S3 delivery lead time?

    the car is a company car thus my reason for choosing the 45. I ordered it in Sept 21 and then was informed in April/May 22 of the removal of the ambient lighting. I was also told that if it were to become available it would be added. my gripe is that i been given the P11D value of a car that...

    A3/S3 delivery lead time?

    Sorry to hear that, I am picking my 45 up on Tuesday. I been told no ambient lighting but also no 4-way electric seat. both really ****** me off as these are being fitted to other Audi models including the A3. I do not get it. I ordered these as an option. I then get told they cant supply them...

    Extended Ambient Light Pack - Gone?

    i was tempted, but the car and lease prices have risen quite a bit. Our lease company has kept the lease priced as per their quote back in Aug 2021. If i was to order the same car now on the same lase terms its would be roughly an extra £150-£170 pcm. It is a company car so for me the...

    Extended Ambient Light Pack - Gone?

    i ordered the Extended Ambient Lighting Pack back in September 2021. Not sure if it will come with it, as I've seen some posts with cars come with it and without it. My car is now in the UK and should be ready for collection/delivery this week, fingers crossed but not holding out much hope.

    A3/S3 delivery lead time?

    Been informed my car is now in the UK and should be delivered within a week. My 22 month wait is nearly at its end. I think i might have to order its replacement soon as my lease is 3 yrs :laughing::laughing::laughing::laughing:.

    A3/S3 delivery lead time?

    Finally received confirmation that my 45 Comp is built and at status 38, which i think is port of exit. However they cant give me a delivery time due to the delays at the port. What are the chances of getting in in June?
