Hello - about to order an A3
Hi everyone, I'm about to order a new A3 2.0TDi (with DSG) but am having some difficulty choosing which model... typical girl! 
At first I was going for an S-Line but having test-driven both this and an SE, I kinda prefer the ride of the SE and the gadgets included... namely Cruise Control and the Light & Rain Sensors. You'll probably all think I'm mad prefering the softer ride but I do a lot of motorway driving so am after comfort!
So I'm thinking of going for the SE and upgrading the wheels to 18", adding sports seats in Alcantara (black) and maybe even the Audi bodykit!
What do you guys think? Any arguments for the Sport or S-Line models? And is the BOSE soundsystem really worth it?
Would appreciate your comments and promise to post some pics (of the car [8D]) when I make my decision and finally get the beast!!!

To offer you some feedback, what is your over-riding factor, comfort or performance? From your email it seems you value the comfort more for your long commute. I would follow your initial choice. However, if you do upgrade to 18's your ride quality is going to suffer some right there, bear in mind.
Bose is nice but I don't know if its worth an extra grand. The satellite radio option might make it worthwhile though? Your call.
Good luck.

Thanks very much for your reply. To answer your question... I want comfort AND performance! That's why I'm having such trouble deciding which to go for! You made a good point about the wheels though, hadn't considered that.
Thanks again. x
