    Missed through load facility

    I opted for this option for the fact that I load my fishing rods through and just onto the front arm rest, and still have use of rear seats.

    Centre Armrest

    My previous car was a Golf Gtd, the arm rest is the same no difference that I have noticed. Plus point old golf had conventional hand brake and the arm rest did get in the way of that a little. New A3 - has the pull and push of the button arm rest does not get in the was at all.

    5 week /1000 mile review.

    Thanks for that, but my front is 8 to 10 inch from wall when parked and clears the door post (brick) by 6 inch max when reversing in. Most of the time no alarm noise from front, poss one time out of thirty will it make any auidable noise and then only one Beep.

    5 week /1000 mile review.

    I have to manually turn the volume up as my speed increases and the noise in cabin/ road noise increases, in order to listen. And decrease the volume as speed noise decreases.

    So basically the Gala system should adjust the volume of the Audi Sound System, based on the speed of the vehicle. I have got it set to max, and there is no increase in the volume whatever as my speed increases.

Rear will some times only give one beep, front n/S will indicate on the display but no beep or beeping, have set front to different sound from rear so I can recognise if it's front or rear, well if it does actually...

    5 week /1000 mile review.

    Well after living with the 184 Quattro Stronic Sportback for 5 weeks, my overall opinion is that I am very happy with my choice of engine, model, colour and spec. Have been driving in the 'auto' driving mode, might change to indervidaul set up mode. Have so far returned 45 mpg for the 1000 miles...
