2014 Audi S3

[xssiiv]

Apparently Estoril Blue has been discontinued going off the UK Audi forum

Wow, I can only imagine the outcry over there

Have my build week.... Really really far away week 19 (May) Dealer has said that we can discuss it more when I pop back in for a visit.

Does this seem like a too long lead time to the build date?

Seems unusually a long period.

You sure that's not the expected completion date?

Mine is being built in week 9 with a completion date of week 19.

It's an S3 sedan (different plant), audi exclusive riviera blue paint, pp and 5 spoke wheels.

Maybe the s3 hatch has a huge queue?

MyS3 was ordered at the end of November 2013 and its a week 8 build most likely arriving Early May , i was happy to wait for a 2014 manufactured and plated car .

No clue about why the date is so far away ... Personally I think they just want to make sure that June is a good month sales wise LOL
I will go down and talk with them about it, just haven't had a chance. I am hoping that if the wait is that long really, then any 'issues' that may be around in the first released models, will be ironed out by the time I get mine

Fairly new to the Audi side, but have this on order with an estimated arrival date of June or July. There is some deliberation over Estoril Blue being available or not, so that may have to change! I've had to create my own performance pack without the sports seats just so I could get Lunar Silver interior.

Now to sell the R36!!

for all those with lengthy waiting times for your new S3, it is totally worth it. Just picked mine up on Saturday after ordering it in October. (Misano red, performance and assisstance packs). Changing over from mkVI Gti, the S3 is several steps up in performance, comfort and finish. Loved the Gti, the S3 is really rather special though.

So patience will be rewarded in the end...

You forgot to post photos!

Apparently my S3 is arriving in Melbourne around the 13th of February, and I should have it by the end of the month. Not bad seeing I only signed the contract last week. It had been ordered by somebody else, who then switched their order to the sedan version.

Pretty much the standard car. It has the metallic white, and optional wheels (but still 18"). Been a while since I sold my R32, so it will be nice to get back into a fast hatch.

I can vouch for this one.
The red looks really good and it goes proper fast.
The quad exhaust pops nicely when you give it the beans too.
