Does it sound when stationary or while driving? Sometimes I hear beep after driving and leaving the car, always thought it's just some electical component and it's normal. Also the previous car (earlier 8Y) did that.

You've had lots of concerns, but has any of those been defect by the factory in the end? I've got this saying, what's common to all the cars? All of them are crap.

So instead of trying to rub it off in the first place you wrote seven posts about it on here? :tearsofjoy:

Tried to watch that video yesterday but couldn't. The "journalist" is so damn horrible, literally everything is super amazing from start to finish. I recommend to watch without sound if you want to see the visuals. I don't understand why they don't offer the silver anymore. With the new...

Possible it won't get off if it's infused, I've heard of those. Show it to some expert.

Could be defect, could be infused acid or something from bird poo

As it's still under warranty and not caused by external factor they should fix it. Warranty covers paint defects too if it's because of a flaw in the painting process. Bird poo might not be impossible though. I've heard some cases where it affected deeper than the clearcoat, after polishing the...

Finland with its 5,5 million inhabitants is saving the entire climate of the planet all alone, so we have very effective taxes to restrain our will to buy cars with high emissions. The CO2 limit is very low and the tax progression very steep. The price before tax for S3 is 50 400 € and the...

Prices out in Finland too, starting from about 69 000 €. Did a quick configuration adding just some kind of necessary stuff and it says 77 700 €. The performance exhaust (doesn't say it's Akrapovic, guess it still is) costs 5140 here - without a tax. Add it to configuration an price goes up 7000...

Repaired a windscreen stone chip for the first time ever. A small visible hole-like mark is still there but much better than the original sun-refracting linear hit mark. I got my first stone to windscreen during the very first highway run the day I got the car. Luckily the chip was almos...

Money well spent... I don't get that, why even offer an upgrade that pricey? If you have the money to throw in, you'll definitely not be after an S3.

I think the mudflaps are the same for Saloon and Sportback. My first 8Y had the mudflaps already fitted by Audi, I think back then they did that to all cars that came to Finland as all cars seemed to have those, liked it or not. My current car came without, and it was a first thing to do to get...

Have fun with current Seat build quality. Reversing cameras dropping off etc. Also the new Leon front end looks like a mess, way overdone. The original one is good looking but they say the central screen system is even more unbearable than the one in Volkswagen. Guess that's been improved with...

Thanks a lot! That was exactly the kind of an answer I was after. Sounds like I might not gonna try my luck again with the Golf.

The 12V battery shouldn't be draining in that short time, it's for sure. We may have longer -15-20 ºC temperature periods here and all cars including plug-in hybrids are supposed to start normally, even after standing several days. The software issue can maybe allow some function to stay on and...

Interesting to see how well that estimate holds. It seems like the first FL cars are already starting to come to dealers, we have some Allstreets here and the othes should follow soon. That's quick, the FL Golf hasn't landed yet though it was released earlier. Expensive without the discount?

Checked the press photos and they are there. I didn't notice them there during that short period I had the car, so my bad, but a bit odd place for them since there's a shortcut spot for climate control menu unter the central screen. The 8Y 35 TFSI isn't having the fog problem, just some I think...

I had a serious windscreen misting problem with the substitute car. You had to go through 3 menu pages until you could select the demisting function, which went off automatically after few minutes. That's not tolerable. In A3 there's a button for that and it stays on as long as you need it. Was...

Thanks for the answers guys. I test drove one of the first Golf 8s when it came out. The touch screen controls and also back then very laggy software put me off instantly and I considered Golf dead to me. Later I had one as a substitute car, the software had been enhanced but it was still...

Wouldn't call it rubbish, I think the chassis, steering and powertrain are brilliant. Still some software issues yes, but I've sat in new BMWs which also gave some random error messages, so it doesn't look like all the others are necessarily flawless either. But the vague assembly quality is...
