    Reliability 8v vs 8p??

    Yeah , maybe that's why Skoda are higher as well , they are using the older proven tech in their cars a lot of the time ? Audi innovate and iron out the problems then skoda inherit it ...

    Reliability 8v vs 8p??

    Why are skoda , seat & vw so far above when it is essentially the same car ? Strange ... For a not so technical comparison , a friend of mine drives a recovery truck , and told me he recovers more audis than any other marque, this was just before I bought the 8p which has been a dream compared...

    Facelift THE NEW AUDI A3 (2016 FACELIFT) – STILL AHEAD OF THE CURVE

    I think you will find you posted you were told by your son it was definitely June/July orders for Sept delivery , and a manager who did not know these facts was not on top of things ? As far as I have read order books open 1st May deliveries in Summer (1st Sept being first day of Autumn) . But...

    Facelift THE NEW AUDI A3 (2016 FACELIFT) – STILL AHEAD OF THE CURVE

    lol .... Funny thats what all the owners of the old 8v say ! I think it has dated the pfl considerably and am relieved I cancelled mine and am not picking it up next month or I would have been peeved to say the least . Its all down to personal taste though , or we would all be driving the same...

    2016 8V A3/S3 Facelift Rumours

    The flat bottom steering wheel makes you think you are driving a Lamborghini , that's its sole purpose . I wouldn't be without it !

    2016 8V A3/S3 Facelift Rumours

    They will have to retool before making the facelift, so they cannot deliver them before your prefacelift , I have got a couple of carlow quotes through , I am assuming for facelifts , 8% off current list ?

    2016 8V A3/S3 Facelift Rumours

    If you are buying new then no one knows until the new specs come out as to what is going to be standard ? If you want the performance then an S3 is the way to go , if it is more looks and toys a well specced S-line would be spot on as they look the part and still shift with the right engine .

    2016 8V A3/S3 Facelift Rumours

    lol - yeah I know, I was kinda laughing at the question , as mirror caps etc are kinda irrelevant when buying an S3 in my eyes ..Powerful Engine / Decent Suspension (Up for debate I know ) and 4wd , the rest is glitter !

    2016 8V A3/S3 Facelift Rumours

    2016 8V A3/S3 Facelift Rumours

    Would think that for Pcp buyers there will not be much difference, as the gfv will go up as well . I will be having a look when the prices are out, I would not think it would go up too much , Audi need to stay competitive as well ..

    Don't you believe it ! I built my own house (well project managed I guess, didn't get too dirty !) , had to haggle a lot , always have though , now I try with everything I buy , saved thousands over the years , if a few people are selling an item, be it a tv, toaster or car , they want your...

    2016 8V A3/S3 Facelift Rumours

    Re Vat ..Yeah , when I bought the S3 I traded both my car and the missus car in on it , on paper one was valued a lot less than the other as he was selling one to trade , even though they were both worth the same . He just juggled the figures about to suit . Made no difference to me as cost to...
