as many of u know already, it is pretty hard to find a '06 2.0T 6spd with everything you want on it (i want pretty much everything). Now i've found one that has all the major stuff I want on it such as Xenons, Open sky, Navi, and Sports, but its not the color i want which is Lava Grey. It is Venetian Violet. Dunno what to say about this color. ANyone? should i just end up ordering an '07 2.0T s-line 6spd with everything i want, plus Lava Grey?

 

"Venetian Violet", hmmm... Then again, you would have a fairly unique color.

I had a similar problem. I did not want Open Sky, which eliminated 90% of the vehicles in inventory in Southern CA. I only wanted a DSG model with Sports Package (mostly for the seats) and Bi-Xenons. At the end, I had to give up on the Bi-Xenons as there were no A3's that had the two options I wanted without the Open Sky.

Open Sky = less head room + excessive weight on roof + miniscule chance of glass im/explosion (see elsewhere in this forum).

Lava Grey looks great, and is only offered in the A3 and the Q7 (according to Audi Mission Viejo). I think it's one of the most popular colors for the A3, both my friend and I own A3's in this color.

 

Lava Grey is by far the coolest color for the A3. I like the Open Sky too though and wouldn't buy an A3 without it. Definitely makes the car.
