Long time lurker, first time poster. The occasion is the arrival of a silver/black DSG A3 premium. Came from a chipped(+ some other stuff)Jetta 1.8T which was the most fun car I've ever had. Really like the DSG &amp; wanted a usable (for adults) back seat. This is one of the "special builds": no fogs, sun package, 5-spoke wheels instead of the 16 spokers. Dealer was offering $1615 off MSRP to get some A3s out on the street, so I went for it. This is a great package right out of the box, but down the road, when the flash chips come out, that will be a distinct possibilty. Now for that exercise in restraint: the break in period.

Hey, another one of the "special builds". Congrats!

Thanks for re-sizing that picture Big D. It shows off the car a lot better than the one I put in the thread starter. I'm very happy with my "special build"-- would much rather have the sunshades (will use a lot)than the fogs (probably would rarely use). It's a very satisfying car (could use more power, of course &amp; a little less body roll). I've run it around on some bad road surfaces today &amp; find the suspension compliant enough for really bumpy under-construction areas, yet firm enough to keep everything under control. I really like this car.

Didn't get that, at first...LOL.

From that angle it ALMOST looks like an "M" Coupe.

you had the pic right, just needed to take the .t out of the url.
