Default ordered my S3

yeah drove one on saturday and was stunned about how liveable it is. perfect daily driver. S3 prestige in glacier white with the magma red/black seats. 19 inch performance package with magnetic ride. actually paid for a lifetime audi club NA membership to get the 6% discount since the dealer [ not many around here and I want to get my car by december ] was giving next to nothing 'because it was an order'. pissed when I found out that the homelink isnt available as a port installed option on the prestige version. how is this possible? anyway I already cannot wait to get this gorgeous fast yet practical car. thanks for all the posts giving your experiences, its a pretty good forum overall.

Congrats ! Glacier with red/black interior is a great combo IMO. Did you also order the red calipers ?

Welcome to the waiting club! I ordered mine on July 10th and my dealer said it won't deliver until end of November/December because the factory is so backed up. I also did the ACNA lifetime because no dealers were giving any discounts off S3s. Now my wife MUST get an audi for her next car. Haha.

Im also working on a solution for the homelink. found a company that sells something similar to what you can get on the premium plus.

We've had ours about a month and are very happy with it. It only took about 11 weeks after we ordered until we were driving.

Congrats on your order! You will definitely love the car. Had mine 11 months now and don't know where the time has gone. Brings a smile to my face every time I drive mine. Sure you will experience the same. Keep us posted.

That's strange. I have a 2015 S3 prestige and I was able to get port installed Homelink. Did that change for the 2016 model?

Lol I'm the same way, ran out of youtube videos tho. I just checked in with my dealer, I have a build week of 40. How did I order my car at he beginning of July and only get mine into production 1 week before yours? Ah well, such is life.
