A few of things as someone who just took delivery of a brand new 2025 A3 Black Edition, rejected it and has now ordered an S3 Vorsprung instead which will arrive in a couple of weeks: - The steering wheel is round (without flat bottom) because of some of the driver assistance systems on the spec which are housed in the wheel. The only way to get a flat bottom is to go for a lower spec, which isn't a good idea unless you value flat bottomed wheels over functionality. - There is a serious software defect present on some A3's and S3's causing settings to not be saved (which was the basis for me rejecting the A3). Audi are working on a fix but in the meantime it's pot luck as to whether your car will actually work as intended. - The Sonos sound system is a massive downgrade from the previous B&O system. It's absolutely terrible.
Oh, definitely a downgrade, but it sounds good, if that makes sense. It's very base heavy in terms of tuning and needs settings tweaked to suit your taste
massive downgrade, don't get me wrong, like 98% will still appreciate the sonos system, but for the 2% audiophiles, it's simply not as powerful nor as detailed as the Bang and Olufsen systems.
Would you get this or the Mercedes A 53 AMG ?

About sonos, does it really sound that great? I've heard already from some s3 8y owners that is definitely a downgrade in comparison to B&O system

the drive selector being a shiny button ruins the car
