Congratulations on the car! The interior/exterior color combo is perfection! It's funny because a very good friend of mine just ordered a VW Golf GTI. He couldn't wait for the new Golf R (I believe it was a 3 -4 month wait). Your old car is amazing!
You hit the nail on the head when you said this car drives too fast too easy, but that's a GOOD thing. I cruise at 65 MPH and I feel like I'm not moving. Just a quick punch from my right foot catapults the car ahead without hesitation. Good luck with the car and welcome to the family!

We have to do what we have to do but Audi completely failed on this! There is no sound logic what so ever!
I purchased a new garage door opener that I can operate with my iPhone. There are also add-ons that you could use with an existing garage door opener if one wanted to.
I was not willing to use the hand held opener in my car.
I got my tickets for the North American International Auto Show and I will certainly be expressing my opinion on this matter when I visit the Audi booth in a couple of weeks.

Is why Audi or AudiUSA felt the need to not include Park Assist as a option with the Driver's Assistance Package, and why they decided to not include it at all for the North American market. When the A3/S3s in Europe have it as an option.
Now economy cars like the Chrystler 200 and Ford Focus can run circles around the A3 in topping it in features Audi should not have neglected it on.

nah, someone made a good point that they [Audi] likely didn't include the garage door opener as their target demographic likely didn't own a home. I can agree with that but what I can't agree with

First look at the stance of my car in this image:
Audi S3 Sepang Blue
Then look at Mod #3!
INCREDIBLE SPACERS!
Look I'm not really a "spacers guy".
But this product, THIS PRODUCT!!!
Zero vibration at any speed, b/c they are hub-centric!
That's because these are top quality.
They can only be used with OEM wheels. I've tried them, for trial purposes only, on my HRE summer setup, and my old OZ Superturismo's.
They do NOT work with aftermarket wheels!
They barely move the needle on my scale, we are talking minimal ounces, weight wise.
They clean up the hub, b/c they are the same color, light gray.

This is the perfect offset for an OEM+ look!

Amazing product, ZERO vibration, road tested to high speeds, in Mexico!
Spacers
I got these at ECS for my old Golf R
I am using the same exact wheel bolts that I got for use with these spacers.
I measured, prior, exact same setup!

With just these 8mm spacers, I have achieved the look I desired. At the same time, handling is improved a bit. Highway lane changes should feel better, albeit not much. But I have widened the car's footprint. And it looks way better!
And THX for the compliment.

Hey there. Spacers are being used to do what they do, by name. The OEM wheels are tucked too far inside the wheel well.
