Congrats! And welcome to the club. How is the vehicle spec’d? Looking forward to seeing the photos.

I can not begin to tell you how excited I am to be able to post in this forum. Here's my 2018 S3 which was brand new when I picked it up yesterday. The weather has been hot garbage for the past few days so not really had a chance to take any outside photos yet (they'll come, trust me) but here...

I put the deposit down for mine... pick it up - all being well - this weekend. I'm like a kid at Christmas.

Yeah in those photos they definitely do. He also sent a walk-around video and you can more clearly tell they're carbon fibre styled. I'm unconvinced about the carbon fibre to be honest, maybe it'll grow on me.

Yeah, I figured. No launch control and yet it still marmalizes them both.

It's from Capilano Audi on the North Shore. I've been to 3 others near here: "Downtown" on Burrard in Kits, Open Road in Burnaby, and Langley. I can honestly say that the folks at Capilano treated me so, so much better than the other three. The carbon fibre mirror caps/spoiler are definitely...

(customary "I know drag races aren't everything about a vehicle" but it's fun, though ;) )

https://www.topgear.com/videos/top-gear-drag-races/tg-drag-races-merc-g63-vs-audi-rs3-vs-cayman-gts The g-wagon is 100 grand more expensive. The Cayman is 33% more expensive than the RS3. The RS3 gets off the line slowest (!?)...

Thanks folks. Definitely helped put my mind at ease about this. Fingers crossed the test drive goes well and the dealer doesn't try and throw in any last-minute "oh we forgot about these" charges. If all goes to plan, I'll be "one of you" by the week's end :)

If I sign on the dotted line I'll take plenty of photos don't you worry ;) They're a 2 grand option over here ($850 mirrors + $1100 spoiler) which is why I'm not fussed about them as I don't quite see the value there. However, the deal they're putting on the car basically gives me those 'for...

Daytona Grey, Advanced Handling Package, Sports Seats, Black Optics, Red Break Callipers, Carbon Fibre mirror covers and spoiler. It's basically an ideal spec for me, other than I don't really care for the carbon fibre stuff. Definitely will test drive.

Hi folks, I've been hunting for an S3 for a while. One came up in my local market - in Vancouver, Canada - at a trusted Audi dealership. It's a 2018 Technik that has 90Km (_not_ 90,000... ninety) on the clock. It's brand new. The salesman described it as a 'fake demo' - they've had it a while...

Congrats @listers_socks ! Can't wait to see the photos and to hear how you've specced it. I hope your first, and subsequent, drives are just what you wanted. Seeing several people pick up their S3s today which makes me smile. (and also makes me even more impatient to get one!) Safe travels home...

Beautiful @AudiLeon96 ! Congratulations on your new motor. Great spec, too; that's basically exactly what I'd like (apart from some of those things aren't available in the NA market, sadly). Can't wait to see the outside shots. Enjoy!

I'm admittedly very biased, but Vancouver, BC is a cracking place for a holiday. Beautiful scenery (can be sunbathing by the ocean in the morning, and skiing in the afternoon), loads of things to do, good roads once you get out of town, only a couple hours to Whistler (great in summer and...
