Ok so the A3 arrives to GA and it's not black...my first thought is WTF! I wasn't in the best mood until I started looking at the car inside and out and realized that it was perfect. Jumped in the driver seat and took a "Hot Lap" around the block and I was HOOKED. This car performs better than anything I have ever had....the sound, the speed it gets me. It is still taking a bit to get used to this Lava Grey, but I think I'll come around soon. I am still waiting on the NAV CD to arrive which blows....no big deal. The BOSE speakers are sick and my word can you turn it up any louder...WHAT??!! The project of sorts will start back up in 2008 with the grill and side marker install....body kit and YES CHEF a little chip of sorts will have me happy and ready for summer time fun. I just wanted to post this because this forum and many of your posts made me realize that I will never own a different car. Audi4Life.

Pictures of it on my flickr above if your interested.

Final Question:

The car has a Preview of XM...can I get a sirius account and it work through the screen?

Thanks!

 

Congrats - we know you're gonna love it! The XM module can be exchanged for a sirius unit - look around on Ebay. The unit itself is in the rear, drivers side, behind a small rectangular hatch.
Whereabouts in GA? My daughters in Savannah, has a Lava grey/beige S Line. I'm heading there this week for Xmas.

 

Nice thanks for the info on the sirius info! I live in ATL but I did go to school in Good ole Savannah. Enjoy Savannah and Happy Holidays.

 

Good to know about Savannah contacts. There's a pretty good chance that my daughter will be going to school there (SCAD) next year - but she's NOT taking my A3!

 

Congrats!


BTW, Lava Grey is a very cool color.



Cheers!

 

Yep SCAD is a great school and downtown Savannah is a perfect place to live. Any information you need about Savannah just gimme a buzz.

Thanks for cheering me up CHEF!

 

Lava Grey is a beautiful, standout color. Methinks you'll be perfectly happy in a few days. Less cleaning, too.

 

I also have Lava Grey with Smoke Bumper Side Markers. (link)

First I was reluctant to install these (pricey..)
but man, you will not regret at all...
Itblends inperfectly!

 

Ditto on the SCAD info and help; Elizabeth has lived there attending SCADsince 2001 - now working on a graduate degree. We do know the ropes, and it's a lovely place - just bought a house there.

 

Congrats. I share your sentiments exactly. I just passed 4500mi,and I am still greatly enamored of the A3 driving experience.I love it so much. I still wanna drive all the time.
