I told someone today that I felt like I was driving a TT in terms of weight and maneuverability. The inside cabin feels so spacious that it's deceiving.

I also am driving an "A3" for insurance purposes, until they get their system updated. I have a documented conversation from their reps where I made sure they knew it was an S3 in case it gets totaled. I needed insurance of my insurance.

Enjoy your car!

Well, my VIN comes up as an A3 Premium (not Plus or Prestige), so my fear was that they'd only give me $30k vs the $48k our cars are worth. I have GAP insurance, so it's not a huge risk, but I like to cover my bases.

I'm one who has an S3 on order and reading your review was exciting! I can't wait!

The picture of your console looks like you might of changed the lighting scheme? Is that just the way the photo turned out or is that something you can do through the MMI?
