Swoxy's A4 3.0 quattro Sport

[Swoxy]

I drive a fantastic 330d Coupe. It's an auto and having just returned from holiday in Canada I decided that I need a winter car (disregarding that I work in London and live in the suburbs). I wanted to spend around shed money but didn't mind what I bought as long as it was interesting.

I considered a Shogun Pinin (too small), a Range Rover (too battered) and an Audi Allroad (too expensive), I tried to find a cheap TT - I typed quattro into Auto Trader, hit search and around 24 hours later I owned an A4 3.0 quattro Sport ..





It's in great condition having had two owners, the previous for eleven years and full service history at a dealer and a specialist. It's a six speed manual with leather and is even on four Continental tyres

219 bhp. Strangely, the five-speed is listed at 6.7 secs and the six-speed at 6.9.

I read that thread, thanks carinaman (do you have a Carina?)

It's not fair to compare it to the 330d but it reminds me a little of my old 330Ci.

I got 22 mpg driving across and then into central London last Saturday and 29 mpg on light, hour and a half long run this morning. So far, so good ..

Nice. Which bulb is out? I had one of these, which ate bulbs, headlights and tail lights.

It's a headlamp, I think it's a H7.

Couldn't you have just spent £300 on winter tyres?

I was missing owning a petrol six since my 330Ci and bought this car for not much more than a set of winter tyres for the 19"s on the 330d

Quattro and manual....not that there is any snow to make a difference

Yeah, about that ..
