Well, you can add my name to the list; I've ordered a new S3 Sedan, in Sepang Blue, with a large handful of options.

My father has an S3 Sportback on order and did some great negotiating with his dealer in Sydney on my behalf; I was fully expecting to buy from interstate. But when it came time to negotiate, my local dealership was prepared to match the deal and I managed an excellent discount in the end, so I'm happy. I've not yet come to terms with the prospect of selling my much-adored GTI though; letting it go will be tough.

I've requested a 2015 build, so I'll be waiting quite some time for my car; anticipating April 2015 at this stage. Therefore there will be no further S3 discussion amongst my friends and family for several months to come, lest I go completely insane.

Nice work Adam!

Good to hear that the local dealer is prepared to play ball and not stick their head in the sand.

I can just imagine the for sale ad... one fastidious owner, no expense spared, showroom condition, etc, etc

Are you still coming out on the cruise next week or is the GTI up on blocks? hehehe

Great work, sound similar to ours, ticked most options apart from sun roof, rails and load through port in back seat.

After 5 months of waiting, it was finally built on the 19/07, so just under 3 more months to wait on delivery, constantly checking when it's booked on a ship so we can monitor the ships progress across the oceans on its way down under, at this stage a mid October delivery.

Thanks Ryan! You're considering an S3 to replace the 118 aren't you? Got a spec (and timeframe) in mind?

The ad practically writes itself really. Yep, the GTI gets to come out of the garage, as long as it's not hot, or raining, or looking like rain, or...

Longy, you and my dad (gandv) are both keeping the "Waiting for your S3" thread alive on ozAudi! To say he is eagerly awaiting his car would be an understatement. His Sportback was built on the 14th, so four days before yours. He and I have gone for similar options; both have Magnetic Ride, B&O, Load-Through and Hold Assist. He's also getting the Assistance Pack and the 18" 5-spoke twin spoke wheels from the PP, whereas I'm getting a sunroof and Audi Exclusive 18s.

Haven't decided yet although it's high on the list.

I ended up buying a new 2-wheeled Honda for commuting to the city, which is the best of both worlds (faster than driving, cheaper than a train ticket, more fun than both).

Greetings all, I'm currently looking very closely again at the S3 my new R having been written off last week I'd be optioning S-Tronic, metallic paint (Glacier White) PP, and tint (does it not come with Hill Hold as standard??). Just getting my head around justifying a $10k approx premium on my R (admittedly I managed a great price on the R, and looks like I can manage a fair chunk off the S3)....the interior of the S3 is spectacular and clearly a more "luxe" vehicle. Anyway, have a little bit of time to decide (and couple of S3's meeting my specs are coming in the next month or 2)
