I had to google DLR. Do I understand this right? It's an EU law that every new car has to have daytime running lights switched on the whole time the car is being driven? Explains why I couldn't turn mine off.

Yes.

It's actually not about when the car was sold but when the model was type-approved. First they made fitment of DRLs mandatory but they could be turned off, then they changed it so they couldn't be turned off.

My previous shape A3s (8P) would turn off the DRLs if the switch was in the OFF position. Both my new shape ones (8V), they stay on even with the switch in OFF.

You can change this using VCDS but I don't see why you'd want to.

Fastest A3 based car that's not an S3? That would be the RS3. 360ish horses packed into a 2.5 litre 5 cylinder engine. 0 to 60 in a very small amount of time.

I think he was on about models below the S3 :p

Oddly, I think the generally quickest A3 other than the S/RS models would be the 184PS diesel. That's the current model at least. If you're on about the old-shape model (8P) then the 3.2V6 or 2.0TFSI.

Was probably a fake deal.
An S8 on Stable Vehicles is £500 per month and £3.5k initial payment (all + VAT) for 5k miles. They are usually competitively priced compared to every other cheap lease site.
