My 1.8 Astra is worse than my 1.8T Ibiza Cupra for fuel. Gets around 27mpg round town, the Ibiza was seeing 30 easily. And I had a DV and full exhaust system so wasn't shy in using my right foot.

A3's are stretching into December at the minute. Maybe different for an S3 as it is low volume and there maybe some pipeline stock coming through, but as I understand most dealers factory order allocations cannot satisfy current demand and the wait is more like 5-6 months.

But its not an A3, its an S3. Delivery time is 10-12 weeks. If its over this, i'll be going mental at them and will be demanding freebies.
S3 isn't a high volume sold car.

Correct, hence my comment about the S3.
To be fair, I have just checked and availability is showing as October, just depends on what your dealers build slot allocation looks like.

It'll be late now you watch 
C**t though, just found out this morning only Donna is allowed to drive the SXi, so I have no car for the next 3 months. Not happy.

Why??? Company car?
Why not buy a shitter to keep you going?
It could be fun......challenge yourself to buy a car for say £200 and get it to last you until the S3 arrives, and then try an sell it for a profit. Like a Top Gear Challenge!

I had a 1.6 sxi. Changed it after a couple of weeks because of how ridiculous it was on petrol. My XE corsa was noticeably better!
