Ari Posted January 28, 2006 Report Share Posted January 28, 2006 Still the "old shape" car on there and none of the new engine options. What is it, a secret? Or has no one actually told Audi UK? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lmmlmmam Posted January 28, 2006 Report Share Posted January 28, 2006 Something we should know Ari? Can you/we stand the agony of naming a new one. That 'configurator' - is that a word - has always been dodgy at best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ari Posted January 28, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2006 Just running one or two thougts up the flagpole, see if anything turns out to be worth saluting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milo Posted January 28, 2006 Report Share Posted January 28, 2006 It may be out of date but it's good for speccing up an Audi 80 and seeing how much they used to cost Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milo Posted January 28, 2006 Report Share Posted January 28, 2006 Ari, they're more expensive than the B6 and look almost similar. Buy a late 3.0 B6 s-line and I reckon your cost to change wouldn't be too bad. I was offered a new one last year for a little bit over £29k with a few toys. Get a 12 month old one now for say £26k versus £35k+ for a new B7 3.2 s-line cab Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lmmlmmam Posted January 28, 2006 Report Share Posted January 28, 2006 Gotta be worth checking it out. See if these B7's actually do drive better. I guess the current one must be coming on for 2 now IIRC. What miles have you done? Where do you stand on S-line Ari? Initially on the B6 it seemed to mean something (better motor spec), but I don't like that you can have an S-line with any engine? Not being snobby, just think Audi are pandering to the UKs current 'bling' obsession. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UBM Posted January 28, 2006 Report Share Posted January 28, 2006 I called Audi Uk about this. They said the B7 config will be fixed just as they start totake orders for the B8 cab! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not convinced by the S-line for two reasons. Firstly the suspension is apparently harsher than Sport suspension, and considering the Cabrio is hardly an Elise I'm not convinced super hard suspension is really in keeping. And secondly the S-Line (I believe) has 18 inch wheels which look great, but I find anything over 17 inch gives too much road noise. Excessive noise in a car at speed is a pet hate of mine and one of the best things about the Cab is it's amazing refinement on long motorway trips with the hood up. Anything that compromises this is (for me) a bad thing. Plus the lower profile tyres would harshen the ride still further. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lmmlmmam Posted January 28, 2006 Report Share Posted January 28, 2006 Also good reasons to opt out of the s-line fad. I guess you'll be interested in the 2.0T. Is second hand an option? I found my 3L was a much more refined long distance car than the 1.8T (and indeed the S4 for that matter). The 3L has always seemed a bit too dear new, and from the figures Milo has quoted things seem to have got a bit worse with the B7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UBM Posted January 28, 2006 Report Share Posted January 28, 2006 I wish I still had mine at times. The S-Line suspension is hard - you do feel bumps, but I like that. The 18's I have on the avant aren't that noisy though - especially with the Bose on level 20 or above! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chav Posted January 28, 2006 Report Share Posted January 28, 2006 My friends B7 S4 cab is now in the country apparently! ...So how Audi can let their website get so out of date is beyond me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
