I miss having a sunglass holder and coin drawer/holder. I didn't think any modern car came without a sunglass holder... Oh, and obviously Homelink.

For what it's worth the Q5 we bought alongside the A3 has the sunglasses holder and it's too thin to hold anything but wire aviators. The coin holder is small as well.

With that in mind, with the A3's interior space at a premium and a design motif of minimalism, I fully agree with the omission.

You are correct. I'm not carrying around anymore coins in my pockets. Scared that the coins might fall out of my pockets and drop between the seats.

Ok, not necessarily an omission but whats with the voice used for navigation and voice control. The lady sounds like she is on downers.

There are many better sounding, more normal voice responses, even on our cell phones.

Default Album Art from Android Bluetooth Connection

I use Slacker Radio on my Android Galaxy S4. I was surprised to see Album art provided on screen via Bluetooth Music Interface (smartphone provides album, artist, track, and album image).

I would put this as a plus. I didn't expect to see this. It might be a feature in Android KitKat (I am on 4.4.4) as well as Audi using the newer Bluetooth profile?

I purchased a A3 prestige recently which has a sticker of $40,000 Plus. At this price level memory seats and home link should be standard while a sunroof is in my case a totally useless item since all our cars had this item which we might have used at the most a dozen times in the last 20 years. In my opinion this should be an optional item on all 3 packages.
my 3 cents worth.

Im in the opposite boat. I couldn't care less about memory seats as I am the only one driving my car - but I do get why some people would like it. The homelink would have been nice. However Im happy the car came with a sunroof - more important to me than the other two combined.
