Not bad effort by Audi overall given it's 'tractor engine' underpinings.

The suspension is really 'crashy' over London roads, loads of bangs (it's just like an Elise S1 ) and crashes.

It's also a bit slow in 1st and 2nd, so I'll have to wait until the weekend to stretch it in 3rd (1st gets you to over 50mph so it's bloddy long!) to see what's really going on.

Dead easy to drive, lovely interior (although a few things are a bit non-Audi like), and unlike the Sagaris I last had, the engine lasted on the drive home

I'll give you a more considered opinion after the weekend.

Yes - Nice. That would be my second colour choice. Black would be first. Still, pretty much any colour would do of course - well apart from pink.

Not even an Enzo in pink [without sale or a respray allowed of course]

I hope you enjoy the drive - its on my list.

More power + better drive. Or simply by how old it is

Donno - it's on a private V plate so that doesn't help. It's done about 5000 miles if that helps?

Looking at it now I can confirm it's yellow

Given it's pissing down with rain here I can confirm it's very sure footed in the wet, even when, ahem, pressing on.
