The tune is great. The car has always been fast but now it feels fast. Added much needed low end gusto! It still has a very linear acceleration but the extra bite it has when you punch it from a stop makes it much more enjoyable. Transmission feels the same which is stellar. Love the DSG!

Killer Sepang!!! It was tough when choosing a color for my car... On reason why I chose GL WT was the fact it was sitting in port before Audi released teh sales.

Ten Day Follow Up Notes on my S3:
I am really enjoying the interior/tech in this car. The instrument cluster display and it's especially it's options are amazing. For example, the four types of pages, and the options inside of each..... I think they were thought out very well. Especially having an instant button to GO HOME, in the navi segment. The music segment, having the ability to have the presets displayed, vs. other options.... etc etc.
I am enjoying the mobile hot-spot as well. If you're a professional, you can have your phone and tablet connected, makes life really easy. It's a write-off or a business expense (for the boss to cover) This hot-spot is obviously not really necessary, but it's a convenience. It has really impressed my clients (and friends). Do we have the ability to "vag-com"-out the two disclaimer alerts?
Sound quality from Satellite music, as usual, isn't the greatest. But the B&O overall, is satisfying. I have a 32gb SD card in the glovebox. Mostly 320 bitrate, a few loss-less tracks. SQ from the SD card is amazing. The ability to tweak the surround, and subwoofer is key. Although, they should add one more setting, for mid-range! Low and high is not good enough!
Random thoughts: I want a little more exhaust sound from Dynamic. I like how the trunk opens fully, when you click the button on the fob or the door. I don't like how there is only one trunk "grabber" on the inside (right/middle). And the trunk really needs to be slammed, hard, right? Everyone is staring at me, so I guess the car is very appealing, could just be the Sepang, since every other car in the world, today, is based on the GRAY, WHITE, or BLACK.
VERY HAPPY with the S3.
Ciao

Step 1, detail the car
At the dealer, they are paying guys $10-? per hour to "get the job done".
At a professional shop, you get... professional results.
I don't have the time right now, to get professional results (myself).
So I've "gotta pay to play".
And man, am I impressed.
prep
clean paint
STEP 2, de-chrome!
