    If Rory combined with Carwow Matt, they can beat any car-show out there in the world. In fact, I would cancel my Netflix, Amazon prime and sit with popcorn every day waiting for a video from them.

      you will lose a little boot space due to the quattro in the S3, which is often never mentioned. You'll only find out when you try to put something that would normally fit your A3 Saloon.
      I don't think this applies to other models when adding quattro.

    Yes but I would hope the saloon has a longer wheelbase because with saloons the seating is lowered because of less headspace but that requires more legroom at the back. Hope they done it otherwise they'll have made a saloon with rear space the size of a coupé

    Yeah...but the video demo has an A3 that's fully loaded or close to fully loaded, and that one is nowhere near 27K or even 30K. For the base model you don't get those fancy dynamic turn signals, you don't even have LED turn signals in the front. Definitely no HUD, the navigation maps are also extra money to unlock, the cockpit display showed in the video is also upgraded, it's not the one that comes standard.
