Maybe you could pick up a demo one and then you'll see why I'm loving it!

I've learnt my lesson from previous purchases. Always shell out the extra cash for the high-end headlights lol!

Have fun in the 1 series!
The Golf always gets great reviews, but there are so so many of them out there and it does look pretty bland (in my humble opinion). Can you post a picture of your A3? I know it is a bmw forum, and it's a bit off topic, but I''m interested to see it?

I personally think it is shocking that the manufacturers all produce headlight designs that are not really fit for purpose, and then want a great chunk of extra money for proper headlights. All they would need to do is use better bulbs, but then we wouldn't buy the upgrades.
