sayerbloke Posted July 19, 2005 Report Share Posted July 19, 2005 That shock announcement was made by a work mate who is looking at changing his car. He was looking at 4WD cars so I told him to look at Audi Quattros. He was on Audi's page on Parkers and having seen a picture of an A3 sportback he proclaimed it looked exactly the same as a . He then found some pictures of both and flicked between them going "Look! They`re exactly the same!" Ian/A_S, this was one of those, 'I heard this and thought of you' moments!

a4tdi130 Posted July 19, 2005 Report Share Posted July 19, 2005 If that's the A3 with the new ugly nose, I think I actually prefer the 1 series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a4tdi130 Posted July 19, 2005 Report Share Posted July 19, 2005 I drive a Volvo because it's the only 7 seater I liked the look of. Audi don't do one, neither do BMW, I am comparing like for like (A3 vs 1-series?). Some people like the new Audi nose, I don't, and for what it's worth I don't like the majority of Volvo's either, but I love my xc90. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a4tdi130 Posted July 19, 2005 Report Share Posted July 19, 2005 I'd have an X5 because I like the gangster drug dealer look, but I needed 7 seats If it wasn't for the damn third child (damn you child damn you) my new car would have been an XKR convertible. And if it wasn't for all three of the little gits it would have been a Lamborghini. Kids - not only do they cost you a bloody fortune, but as it's illegal to transport them in the boot, you have to buy them all a sodding seat in your car too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a4tdi130 Posted July 19, 2005 Report Share Posted July 19, 2005 We decided to get the kids "over and done with" young and get them out the way We are both 30 and our kids are 8, 5 and 4. In 5 years time we won't be cool enough to hang around with them anymore so we'll get to do the sports-cars etc soon. I couldn't cope with having fast sports cars for years, THEN having kids and having to give it all up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
