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?

The A3 has a combination of performance, refinement and size which cannot be found in other makes, and I like how the little car feels when driven. There may be technically better AWD systems then that found in the A3, but the A3 Quattro is more reassuring to me then no AWD at all. Living in Virginia, we don't see that much snow, but when it does, my overly hilly neighborhood does not cope well, and perhaps, neither do I. No major problems in snow in the past with the Saab Convertible it's replacing, and I hope to remain out of the ditch in the future.

Storage compartment in the front seats of A3

From the manual of A3, it seems that there are two storage compartments in both front seats. But I only found one in the passenger seat of my A3, while no one in the driver seat. I am not sure if it is because my car has premimum package which includes power driver seat. Can anyone confirm with it? How many storage compartments in the front seats are in your A3? Thanks a lot!
