Hi !
Yeah, we finally picked it up today, light silver.. its a quite nice car, altough a little low (roof).. the 115hp engine is more than enough to play with it.. the only thing I really didn´t like, was that it came with 16" wheels, instead of the 17" we ordered, but oh well.. I´ll change that in the future [;)]
Pics will come soon, don´t worry !!

Anthony, if I´m not mistaken, you want to buy the A3, right ? you had the MkIv Golf, and I can say, that the quality of the materials is pretty good compared to the MKIV, but the car is low, so, to you, and who ever buys this car, get sport suspension, get the center armrest (dunno if it comes in U.S. Spec A3´s), and get electric seats.. these are must haves.. and the car is indeed lower than the Golf MKIV (you can also get the panoramic roof that Anthony has on its sig, and stick the head out [:D]), or at least, during the time I´ve been in it, it seemed..
what can I say more... the engine bay isn´t very nice, and I think that unless you get Xenon, you don´t have the monocromatic center screen (ours doesn´t have it.. didn´t like it at all [:(])
Other than this, its a very cool car, and it should be a blast to drive with the 2.0 TFSI [:D]

Yes I'll be getting a 2.0T with sport suspension and the Opensky roof, hopefully. First mods though will be coilovers and new wheels, as they are with every car I buy. [:)] My MkIV GTI is sitting very low on its C/Os, so I'm sure the A3 will be too high as is.

no man, I´m saying he is low, but in the inside.. I´m 1.82m tall, and I almost bump with my head on the roof of the car (seat in the lowest position)...
