Newbie: Help Needed Feedbacks A3's
 

Hi

I'm new to the forum. I live in Ontario, Canada and looking to purchase a use A'3 for a daily driver to a 15min drive to work.
I was hoping to get some feedback from owners of A3's here.

1) 2017 or 2018?
My understanding there are only minor change.
-heated front seats and two USB ports became standard
-blind spot monitoring is now standard on the Premium Plus trims

2) FWD or All wheel drive version for better wheel traction? Whats your take?

3) Are the upgrades worth it?
I'm leaning towards the Premium Plus Package mainly due to the Android Auto smartphone integration.
Is it worth going to the Prestige with the bigger screen, virtual cockpit, better sound system, led headlights, wifi hot spot, gesture control?
How is your experience with the the virtual cockpit for google maps?

I appreciate everyone's response.

Thank you very much.
Chris
