G1981 Posted April 27, 2006 Report Share Posted April 27, 2006 Nearly fell asleep. Found it pretty dull. Avus silver with light coloured half leather. Found a BMW 330D Sport Tourer on pistonheads that looks a lot nicer but I was kinda set on the Audi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/ QUOTE ] That's a shame, can't say I've ever seen a 3 Series Touring that looked nicer than my A4.......... And I know there isn't one that will go through the twisties like mine either.....

FreightDog Posted April 27, 2006 Report Share Posted April 27, 2006 Just a quick question Bub, is the brake light incorperated into the spoiler or is the brake light the in the same position as the normal avant .I was thinking of a rear spoiler myself, but did not want to put on a cheap tacky one.

[/ QUOTE ] I'm not sure. I'd guess it's the same brake light. It's quite hidden under the S-Line spoiler, but it looks like it's just clipped into the spoiler. Your dealer should be able to tell you or I'm sure Nelson will be along soon................... BUB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sparky Posted April 28, 2006 Report Share Posted April 28, 2006 You're having a giggle, surely?! You fell alseep looking at the Audi?! I would pick the Audi every time on looks, but you never told us what engine you looked at. The 330 is a lovely engine, but are you not perhaps comparing models that aren't similar, or was it on looks/feel ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sparky Posted April 28, 2006 Report Share Posted April 28, 2006 It just doesn't compare along side the A4, for looks. The BMW above it quite "dull" in my book, but it will go like stink when you ask it to! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G1981 Posted April 28, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2006 I only have £18K to spend so out of range of a lower mileaged Audi Advant 2.5TDi. Still to find even a 1.9 or 2.0 Tdi in a S line. Does such a car even exist? So that leaves me with money for a 1.8T. What ever one I get be it an Audi or BMW I will be looking to remap. Coming from a Lotus Elise I still need something that will overtake easily on a country road and of course be suitable for pulling a caterham (hopefully). I'm hoping I just didn't like the colour of last nights A4. Much prefer them in darker colours like this one: This is my current car. Hey does anyone fancy a p/x?? It's a 135R - 150 made.

UBM Posted April 28, 2006 Report Share Posted April 28, 2006 You'd be well suited with the 1.8T - step into Bubs office for tuning tips! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparky Posted April 28, 2006 Report Share Posted April 28, 2006 If he goes into Bub's office, he'll come out with an S4. The 1.8T tunes well, but compared to a 330d it won't feel as fast. What is it you're after, G1981? Looks, Speed/Performance, Handling etc? I'd have thought for £18k, you'd easily get an 1.9 or 2.0TDI. If you can, go for the 2.0TDi as the engine is a little better and more pokey. The 330D is a nice car, you won't go wrong with it, but it all depends on what you're after really. Do you need an Avant? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There will be some discount to be had as well so maybe a bit over the £18k mark but only by a few hundred.

Any other engine will be a sport model, either with or without the factory 'Quattro GmbH' body kit. I agree the 190ps 1.8t feels pretty boring standard but the torque curve is flat form 1950rpm - 5000rpm. A re-map changes all that. The 22mm RS4 rear anti roll bar livens up the steering, handling and feel no end too. I think you should try a Quattro one. With a few hundred quid and the right mods' it's a cracking car. Spend another couple of grand and you'll have a 300hp 'Scooby Scarer' That you can still drive every day. Love the ' Lots Of Trouble Usually Serious , I prefer two wheels for my petrol injection................... Hope you find the right car for YOU.
