Quattro Maybe?
-
Badge Some have already said to me, Audi to VW? But think this GTD will hold it's own in image stake and from driving perspective do I really care?! Going to be a great car to drive
Not Miss
-
3 Door Reason got my A3 in 3 Door is love the lines but in day to day use it is a royal pain and to have passengers who can just get in effortlessly is going to be so much easier for everyone though genuinely think this MK7 lines look good in 5 door form.
-
S Line Suspension Love the handling it gives and on smooth roads it is a dream to drive in combination with Quattro but we all know a smooth road is a rarity these days and the new version 2 ACC will give me lots of flexibility in how would like to drive.
-
Bi-Xenon Do not have the Halogen/LED in this A3 so the Bi-Xenon with all it's tricks in seeing around corners etc will be illuminating
-
Colour Had Phantom and Brilliant Black in last 2 cars and it does really show dirt, dust and particularly bird mess! and as a working car is cleaned irregularly so even if the Pure White will still get pretty dirty it will not show it as much - Also was due a colour change and think the white shows MK7 lines really well and contrasts well with black trim.
-
Bose Stereo Paid a lot for this and does sound great, when get chance to turn up loud and when listening to CD BUT the previous standard system was pretty good still and do carry passengers quite often and tend to listen to radio quite a bit also when travelling and all has made it something not going to miss.
-
Setting up Sat Nav Have a decent SAT NAV, hate setting it up, the OCD in me hates the way it sits, the wires (even when attempt to hid I know they there!) So as expensive as is to offset my OCD to have integrated is going to be a definite plus.
-
Folding Mirrors Like mirrors to fold but getting out of car when parked into traffic 'blind' as cannot fold them by fob is never fun!
-
Manual I have always had manual but wife really does not like manual and rarely if ever drives mine and she needs to! so the DSG solves this excuse as an issue an excuse I will not miss
-
Seats The alcantara seats are ok actually, but think going to love the additional lumbar and heated seats in general and in winter (many years of sport has me creak a bit and wife had prolapse few years ago)
Overall my A3 is a lot of fun still love it, but with the irritants removed as outlined above and the many additional extras this GTD gives that could not spec on Audi, then not going to miss much, only add!!
