Don't think he had the time, squad is aging and in transition. Seems much undermined, Chelsea or Abramovich or whoever should wake up, change takes time.

Saab 9-3 or the Vectra for me

Range Rover Evoque - 5 door Prestige Auto

Thanks for all the replies - just ran a quote for RTI (£190) and will take it out when the car is delivered

Cheers Booster - posted at similar times..! so given the circumstances i should consider RTI going forward..? i'm already looking at quotes besides the dealer and will look at click4gap - Many Thanks

i hear you mate and not denying it. Just a case of do i actually need it more than anything else. Fully understand risks etc. but i could pay for something that’s not even necessary.

Thanks Cuprabob - I'm not accident prone but that doesn't stop someone bashing me on their terms at any time expectantly. As you suggest i don't think it fits my requirements but would like some fairly definitive answer.... won't take anyone to kangaroo court for the wrong answer .....

Calling all the knowledgeable bods... Can you help please ...? Can you clear this up - I'm confused on whether i need GAP insurance. As an example i'm about to purchase a new car for £40K and we'll be putting down £20K cash and taking a 3.5 year personal loan for the remaining £20K. So, do i need GAP insurance as at the minute i can see the difference between RTI and RTV but I’m not convinced it suits me. I'm not ducking out of paying it, not at all, just not sure if it actually suits my requirements. Can anyone advise..? Many Thanks

That’s a cracker - i remember many moons ago going to Birmingham for the NEC motor show and a friend had one of those for his company motor. I loved the thing, the engine when he extended it in third and fourth and couple of times playing with my other colleagues Volvo T4 was sublime. I still look at these on Autotrader and Pistonheads but need a bigger hooose and garage to store it. Brilliant..!!

What happened to this thread..???

Scotty - Really - i need to test drive one. I need room for a dog too and sounds daft but not wanting something too large as the misses doesn't feel comfortable. Also considering A4 Avant

To Ashleywater - suprised you've stuck with it to be honest. I would really like one of these and truly find my S3 hard to replace and would jump at this if it wasn't for the price and circumstances but hey hoo each to their own. Just to think to wait for this long for just this car... man i hope it is REAL FECKIN GOOD..!!!!! Looking forward to honest, personal review.

Quite like it and the A1 interior. A1 seems to show the direction Audi are going.

Have to say I’d be very interested in a 3 Series Estate 4WD in 3.0 diesel format. Been toying with a move to something different from the S3 due to family and looked at various manufacturers and models but i haven't scratched the BMW itch yet. Drove my fathers a few times and always enjoyed it and have a big pull towards it but something keeps me wanting the 4WD that Audi offer, amongst others. TBH I’ve never been stuck with FWD in snow, my father always moaned about his BMW when he had it - his area got succumb to the snow and my Mum couldn't do the snow chain stuff, maybe I’m swayed by 4WD at the mo as never had a problem getting to their house. Its probably not going to be here in time though as my need is quite Imminent..!

Strangely remember one of these absolutely tearing past me on the A69 on-route to Carlisle a couple of years back, was actually stunned to be honest and the noise was sublime - god i need a V8

Too true - For one night only though i may have feelings of grandeur since the Man City victory this afternoon – and I’ve had a few ....

Hi Sidicks I have recently been pondering a purchase myself of a Q5. 1) I believe there is a facelifted version scheduled later this year, does anyone know more details?? I was told that a facelift is due this year by a dealership and postive i also read in a car mag. Not sure though of actual date. 2) I recall there used to be long waiting lists for these cars - is that still the case? Unable to help with this, i was looking at stock for a good discount or lightly used. 3) What sort of discount might be obtained on a new car (basic 2.0TDi)? Again unsure butwould imagine if a facelift is due a deal would be able to be had at the right time of the month. I did get offered about 6 months ago a demo with less than a thousand miles, SE 170 TD for less than 29K. SiT

Top spot..! haven't seen one in the North of England yet strangely and although spend all my working life in London i only see the underground - was hoping a Sunderland player would have one but they seem to like 4x4 monstrosities ..........................

Wow - what a machine..!!! hope you love it. Would love to own a car like that. I still hope and pray that a V8 will enter my life before emissions and CO2 tax force me to look ever more else where. Enjoy .....

Quite like the sound of this and hope it would be a hoot - regardless of Haldex or Torsion. I'd never buy it know as too old and not looking for this type of car but if i can i will definatley look for a test drive - why not - 255 BHP in a tichy motor should be fun

Great idea - wish the wifes car had them a long time ago ...........

I didn't no, they did start 2K lower but they were desperate for a sale and i wasn't interested in buying, just a test drive but they weren't 'hearing' me!

I was offered £14,250 2 months ago by Newcastle Audi for 2007 (07) S3 - spec & mileage is very similar. £11,000 for yours is way low i reckon HTH

Maybe should have bought another BMW ….
