Ben Posted January 18, 2008 Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 My old Misano monster was exactly what you were after, apart from being red that is Re the suspension, it is lower (so looks meaner) and was perfectly fine if you're used to performance cars. For the first thousand miles or so it was pretty harsh, but then softened up a bit. It ain't no 911 though chap, but it's not supposed to be I guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam Posted January 23, 2008 Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 you are spot on with most of your choices, let me correct a few Satnav must have no questions, TV tuner is also good even if analogue Adaptive lights (swivel) - actually really good and would not limit your choice much if you go for earlier tech pack cars CD changer - essential (agreed ipod is shite and discussion above about 12CD is irrelevant as you must have the satnav) Sunroof - i love mine Auto lights/rain sensor/auto dim mirrors - must have Sports suspension + - 10mm lower, stiffer springs and a sway bar (getting this retro-fitted to mine but a matter of taste/priorities) Rear sideguard/blinds/heated seats - agreed but wish mine had the blinds for the baby in back Multi function wheel - avoid at all costs Bluetooth - avoid at all costs, retrofit w/o the downsides if you are getting a black or grey one try to get the optics pack, so much nicer/meaner looking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P_G Posted January 23, 2008 Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 Adam, you could retrofit rear side blinds from NelsonA3S-Line? Granted they are not as slim as if internally located in the door cards, but they take all of 20 mins to fit and are OEM and are far superior to any aftermarket ones.

Golfer Posted January 23, 2008 Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 [ QUOTE ] Actually, it looks feckin fantastic. And when he comes to sell it (next week probably...) he'll no doubt find someone else who thinks so. Not the obvious choice I agree, but there's always a market if you look for it.

[/ QUOTE ] And much cheaper than retrofitting the fully integrated ones - because you need to replace the whole rear door trim, so it would cost over £100 (I looked at it in detail).

Adam Posted January 26, 2008 Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 curiously sprint is the only colour I would NOT consider, but I seem to be in a minority Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merlot Posted January 26, 2008 Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 There are two of us at least. I would have Misano. Daytona or Mugello for choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

techieboy Posted January 26, 2008 Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 Make that four and I'd limit it further, to Mugello or Daytona. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
962C Posted January 27, 2008 Report Share Posted January 27, 2008 Daytona has really grown on me since I first saw it on the RS6.... needs to be spotless clean and waxed though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hence why I got OEM Audi retrofit blinds. They don't look bad either and the fite of the blind to the window dimensions is spot on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/ QUOTE ] I originally thought that and was looking at Daytona or Mugello RS4 Avants, however my Sprint Blue car has grown on me and with a decent glaze, sealant and wax on it is deepens the colour. Similar to the colour shown on the TG RS4 in the RS4 vs M3 vs C63 test. Examples; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golfer Posted January 28, 2008 Report Share Posted January 28, 2008 Looks a much deeper colour G, with the polish on it. Nice finish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
