Wow, I'm not an Audi/VAG fan at all but that's a lovely looking car.

[DaveL86]

Very nice!

Love the part leather, better for the long term over full leather, no saggin etc.

[N88]

Love these.

How are you finding the dip in performance? The comfort more than makes up for it I guess?

4 interior pics, 1 exterior, kinda sums up why people buy Audis I guess ?

It does look like a good place to be i bet 100 fold better than sat in his astra which feel cheap and nasty inside.

It is what you spend most of your time looking at TBF.

Tbh its not an issue. Its a completley different type of car and I drive it completley differently. And i'm loving the economy too.

My Astra VXR was remapped etc and pushing out 300bhp, but then did I really need all that power??

This is still more than capable for its purpose but my requirements in a car have changed and therefore so have my expectations.

Comfort/quality etc definatley more than makes up for it. And it is so nice to drive.

We've got a 2 year old and potentially another on way maybe next year. I've started a new job which involves a bit of driving. This ticks every box...the VXR as much as I loved it didn't anymore.

I can relate to the change tbh, I've recently switched from a 285bhp Petrol to a diesel

I'm really impressed with mine performance wise, wish I'd got one ages ago tbh...and the difference in fuel economy is very noticeable


enjoy the Audi I'm sure you will

[gj88]

That looks like a very nice place to sit.

Audi interiors always look so nice and welcoming.

That is a lovely example. I wouldn't have one personally as I imagine I'd get bored of it fairly quickly but what a good looking car.

[jsg612]

A car I'd actually describe as beautiful. Very good looking indeed with a great spec.
