Nice. Wouldn't work for me as I need 15K mileage at least. I bet the monthlies shoot right up for that!!

only by about £60 for that mileage I reckon.

Whilst not a lease deal i bought an S3 on a PCP via drive the deal. The car is a 3 door in daytona grey metallic with B&A audio. The PCP deal is 10,000 miles per year, £5000 Deposit and £274 per month over 4 yrs. The supplying dealer was Harwoods Audi Southampton. They were happy to deliver FOC on a low loader to North Wales, but I ended up going down to collect as I was in the area on business.
The car is absolutely awesome and suprisingly on a run (in economy mode) it managed 39mpg!! In fairness it was just an exercise to see what it could do before putting it back in dynamic mode

NO, NO, NO. It's the SALOON version. Americans have sedans.

Fair enough As an Aussie I despise Americanisims but in Oz its a sedan too.

FYI, believe that the saloon/sedan/four doors and a boot has some better offers floating around, though still not as competitive as the Sportback.

This for the manual - https://www.selectcarleasing.co.uk/car-leasing/aud...

S-Tronic - https://www.selectcarleasing.co.uk/car-leasing/aud...

Hope that helps.

Anyone pulled the trigger on the audi s3 saloon (facelift) yet?

Anyone know what expected delivery date is?

I do like the primer looking, almost unfinished audi "nardo grey" colour they have just introduced.

I was not aware of this and stand corrected.

Yes, in that colour too lol

its nano grey i think. - my delivery date is showing 1st December but the order date was July so i think i happened to pick a spec that had already been ordered (maybe a demo for dealership?)

Personally i got a 5 door 310ps sportback tiptronic + metallic paint 6k miles p/a on a 3+23 with tyres and full maintenance cover for £341 inc vat. there are better quotes out there but slots are in short supply apparently.

Came from Allcarleasing

I've just had confirmation from Select that my order has been accepted. Was told that Wednesday was the last day to get orders in, don't know if anyone else was told this. For reference I went for an S3 sportback s-tronic on 3 + 23 at £330 inc metallic and on 10k a year.

I have just heard mine should arrive on Friday.

facelift model?

want pictures and opinions, ASAP

[Blaster72]

Has anyone got one yet with the virtual cockpit? I'm a month away from mine (only 1.4 Sport) turning up with it fitted and was wondering how people are getting on with it.

[Orange172]

Had a phone call today from select saying that my car was going to build next week, with a delivery time of mid November. I need to pull my finger out and sell my current car.

really wanted that but couldn't warrant the extra on the lease just to hand it back in two years...

[Blaster72]

I used some serious man maths to justify it to myself, daft really but it does look great on paper and I love gadgets.

Yes, 310 5dr with the 7 speed DSG box in red and no options, wanted the yellow but didn't seem worth another £19 a month!

Booked in for tomorrow AM.

Exactly what i went for but in nano grey.. just checked the tracker, im at stage 5!

Got it Friday morning.

It's surprisingly fast, and I am impressed with the gearbox, it seems leaps ahead of the one in the Golf R that I tested but you current R owners will probably be able to give a better verdict.

Steering wheel is a stupid shape and is immensely annoying.

So far I like it, the long 7th gear means I think it is going to be pretty good on fuel on long cruises and in E mode it's very keen to coast or switch off the engine.
