TrueDelta Reviews the Available Features of the 2015 Audi A3 / S3

2015 Audi A3 / S3 Available Features: Pros
YearComment
2015 Audi stresses that it hasn't treated the A3 as an entry level model undeserving of leading-edge features. Instead, if you can get a tech feature in the A8, you can probably also get it in the new A3. They're especially proud of their infotainment offerings, replete with a nav system that integrates Google Maps and even Google Street View, so you can see the building you're looking for. Other options include LED headlights, all-speed adaptive cruise control, a Wi-Fi Hotspot enabled by the first automotive application of high-speed 4G LTE connectivity (via AT&T), and a 705-watt Bang & Olufsen audio system capable of thumping out the powerful bass desired by many younger car buyers. Some of you will be happy to know that not only does the new A3 have a display screen that looks like it restracts into the top of the instrument panel, but unlike the screens in the CLA and the BMW 3-Series the one in the Audi actually retracts. The CLA counters with memory seats, self-parking, and a drowsiness monitor. But, unlike in the A3, you'll have to take the key out of your pocket to start the car--the sort of proximity key standard on many Nissans isn't available. You can't get a manual transmission in either car. see full Audi A3 / S3 review
