My car is Misano Red, was not my first choice but the deal was so good I went for it. But it's really grown on me, and I love it now, looks great with the black contrasting open sky.
Yeah, I really like the contrast between the Open Sky with both the red and white. Lava Grey was a great choice initially, because it is a really cool color. Problem is that over the last two years that seems to be the major color choice for the A3. I saw 5 different Lava Grey A3's over the last two days. I was looking to be unique. Oh well...again!
Cheers!

Other then the fact that I have never seen another A3 other then mine and on the car lot in person (its like no one drives these around the riverside area, lots of A4's though). I would say sprint blue might be the rarest of colors. I don't seem many on the forums. Tons of white and grey with a few red and blacks.

Just to add to my confusion....I am not sure I can make the Ti package work with the amount I would like to spend a month, still thinking about it, but here is choice C
S-line & Open Sky, Lava Grey. This is my budget choice (well if you can call it that), more no frills, but it would still be a great ride. Comes out to $27 a month less than having
the Ti package included, does not seem like a huge amount, but it all adds up.

Whatever happened to 'moro blue'? Did they cut that color after 2006? I haven't seen any other A3's with that color either on the road or posted. Does anyone else out there have that color? And yes - I like that red with open sky. But, my first choice was lava grey since I couldn't stand having a black vehicle during the winters here. But in order to get the end of model year pricing with the options I wanted - the only color choices I had were between moro blue and a lighter blue. Didn't like the lighter blue - too close to "Carolina blue" for my taste.

DUC: That Lava Grey A3 is very nice, id go for it because you can always have the dealer order you the same grill as the A3 with the Ti package for ~$130 which is a great price and I personally like the silver trim rather than the Ti package's black trim. Only thing you are missing is the rims but you can always upgrade those to aftermarket ones later on that look will a lot better.
^^^agreed.
I you have found the car you want and the only negatives are some easily changeable cosmetic items, then I say you have a new car.
Cheers!
