zlguocius, you can always pull the CD changer and Sirius tuner and sell them here or on eBay to recoup some of your money.

Yeah, you're a little nuts. The 2.0T engine is much superior, and I just don't understand those who prefer cloth over leather. What's up with that? I've lived in VERY hot areas before and still prefer leather. Much nicer feel, look, and easier to clean. Although, I have to agree with you totally on the Quattro. Definitely a needed option for ALL Audis.

BTW, your engine is a 3.2L, not a 3.0L.

Cheers!

Would have liked a traditional manual with my 2007 A3 3.2 model after all. I tend to forget to use the paddleshifters now and typically just leave it in Drive for cruising around. This is the first/only non-manual car I've had in decades.

I regret that I couldn't get two. Rollyfoster > I don't want to make you feel worse about the Bluetooth thing, but I think I WOULD have regretted it if I didn't get it. It's one of those details that really makes things easier. I'm on my phone a lot in the car, and with a manual (and new phone laws in Cali), fiddling with a phone would suck. The phone integration is great in this car. If it's possible to add on, I would highly recommend it.

I am a cloth guy. Always have been. Just a preference.

The only thing that I can think of that I really really wish I had is bi-xenon hid's and fog lights. Otherwise my car is just what I wanted. Base as can be + opensky.

the bluetooth issue only really bugs me because now i've got these buttons on my steering wheel staring at me. i don't even talk in the car that much. i do, however, regret not noticing that this car doesn't come standard with a dimming mirror. i didn't even think about it until the first night i drove it after purchase; i guess i assumed that a car with this price tag would at least have that feature...

Ok my turn. I lucked out and got an 06 in 07 that had 90% of what I wanted. The two Items I could really use were the cold weather package (but that doesn't come in the sport seats) and the one item WE ALL WANT!!!!! QUATTRO!!!!! Reagrding the cold weather package the ski boot can be baught but why I have racks for my ski's. Know seats for all you out there. Lived in Vegas for years and never missed a SEMA show. Recaro make's a leather sport seat that fits audi. Bonus its heated and vented so cool air in the summer heat in the winter. That is deffinatly THE upgrade for me.

The only regret I have is not getting the tech package


The Bi-xeons and bluetooth would have been nice but other than that I love my car
