hi all,
i,m looking to buy a cerbera and was looking for a bit of advice, mainly the dimentions of the car to make sure it will fit in the garage! also was wondering if there was much difference between the 4 and 4.2 models, currently driving an s3 so i'm sure the power on both will be much higher. are there any major things to watch out for when buying?

thanks kev.

Here you go:

Length 168.001 in | 4267.2 mm.
Width 74.001 in | 1879.6 mm.
Height 48.001 in | 1219.2 mm.
Wheelbase 101.001 in | 2565.4 mm.

It's a tight squeeze in many single garages due to the size of the doors.

Either model is quick as hell, i went for a 4.5 which is the evil'est of them all. Best do a search as this question has been asked loads lately, there are loads of threads on this with some excellent info.

Had an S3 for a long while a few years back, and without sounds really "preachy" you'll want to spend some serious time getting used to a Cerb from there. It's almost as far removed as you can get in terms of a) the power b) the feel and c) the traction.

The S3's are a pretty removed driving experience, but with some serious Quattro grip, but never really the power to actually get you into too much trouble.

Cerb is, as I said, almost the complete opposite. Much more of a drivers car.

I actually moved on from the S3 to the new STi Type-UK when it was released, which is considerably quicker than the S3, and am STILL blown away with the Cerb's performance bounce

(p.s. gotta be a 4.5 biglaugh)

I drive an S6 and a Cerb and the difference between the two is like chalk and cheese.

My advice would be to get some driver training before you 'let rip' is a Cerb.
