I know you like your cars sporty, but I always thought the A3 Premium would be sporty, and the A3 Sport would simply be SPORTIER.
Are you saying the premium package has a Toyota like suspension?

It's pretty soft. Like I said, my fiancee is one prone to car sickness and even she asked to tighten up the suspension. Part of that may be attributed to riding in my BMWs and Cooper but still she finds it a bit sloppy day to day.

Well, I'm glad I opted for the sport suspension setup, a decision I made after test driving both of the different A3's. My main test was speed bumps.... I liked the way the sport tuning made the speed bump a blimp on the radar screen that dissappeared after you crossed it. Lesser/softer suspensions remind you for a few seconds what just happened.

I test drove the A3 in both sport and premium and in 2.0 and 3.2. I felt that the 2.0 S-Line was the best combination. The A3 3.2 felt heavy compared to the 2.0. I bought an '08 and have had it for 2 weeks. It is a great car. I paid $34K for 2.0T S-Line in Lava Gray w/ black interior, open sky, dual xenon, ipod integration, power driver seat came with S-Line (new for '08). Bought it in N. VA.

Congrats on your purchase. I'm also looking in N. VA, but for a 3.2, need Quattro. It seems that you negotiated well, somewhat better then Edmunds TMV. Which dealership did you buy from, and how was the process?

If you don't mind my saying, if you need Quattro, then why are you looking at an A3 of any stripe? FWIW, the 3.2s AWD system is Quattro in name only.
Best Regards,
Shipo

Wow, that's great. Congrats on your new '08 A3. Did you direct factory order? (As there aren't any '08 A3s on the showroom floors yet where I am from). How long did you have to wait for your order to arrive? You mentioned power driver seat is part of the S-Line page for the '08s any other new changes like that that you can share?
