I have a 2006 A3 Sportback (i.e. 5 door) in Mauritius Blue and it looks
good. An extra £480 for the pearlised paint. The 5 door looks good in red,
though I feel brighter colours can call more attention to themselves, e.g.
from a vandalism/police/carjacking point of view.

I don't know about plain tinting. It might help some. However, some
cars have a metal based tinting that is specifically designed to
reflect heat. I have mostly seen it on French cars. It is very obvious
if you wear polarized sunglasses.

I think so. Also, the windows on that car are very flatly angled, so
they make a very large effective area for sunlight to enter when the
sun is high in the sky.
