where are people finding the lease deals at £210 pcm?

i've got one of these seat protectors on the back seat. added bonus of having a couple of net pockets to stash more baby gear! Ultra Mat™ Seat Protector - car accessories - Mothercare also amazon for cheaper...

how many miles typically from oem pads? i know it's down to driving style, etc but i'd like to get a rough gauge. 23k miles on my wifes car so far and still on original oem pads from new. mostly motorway cruising and gentle around town driving - plus the odd thrash when i take it out for a spin!

how many miles should we normally expect from brake pads? i know it depends on driving style, but a rough average would be helpful to know. i'm also assuming different answer for different models - i'm interested in peoples experience on an S3. thanks

there's obviously always going to be a strong bias on here towards audi's... but seriously guys... there's really no need to be so defensive and/or offensive to each other! some posts are clearly "fanboy" comments! sounds like a few people on here have owned both vehicles and should be able...

My previous car was a stock E46 M3 SMG coupe 53reg that I owned for about 18months. My wifes current car is a stock S3 sportback (that I drive regularly). M3 was definitely a faster car! On the straights, in the twistys... in the dry! but in the wet, S3 is more manageable and most probably...

i think that's a good point about the reduction in stuff required as our baby gets older. and we'll probably need a different type of buggy/stroller - will definitely need to shop around for something light weight, compact and sturdy.

Good luck to you and your mrs mate! Our little one is a month old now and it's been an amazing journey so far! It's definitely been very challenging but it's all worth it to just get the little gurgles and smiles!

that is indeed a great suggestion... my other car is a porsche so perhaps my solution is to sell both the S3 and the porsche and replace with an RS4!! i'm not ready to sell my porsche yet though... but the RS4 solution is something to keep in the back of my mind.

i think "arranged carefully" is indeed the key!!

good point paul... we won't need the extra space that often... perhaps when we have more than 1 child we'll go for a bigger car! although I do take note that dragon has found it fine with 2 kids!

we've not taken a holiday with the baby yet! I hear you on the wifes packing part... we will definitely need some improvement in that department! ;-) I definitely agree about keeping everything in the boot as much as possible from the safety aspect.

I think we have the same setup mate! we've got the base that has the tilting mechanism with the green lights to indicate that the seat is locked in properly - i'm pretty sure thats the family fix??! the seat we have is the pebble - i think the cabrio and the pebble are pretty much the same...

hmmmm... i think i can just about squeeze a small suitcase in the boot! I know that we can fold the backseat down and/or put stuff on the back seat, but ideally i'd like to have everything secure in the boot just in case we are involved in an accident and stuff goes flying around inside the...

I bought the S3 SB as a baby car and I've found that it's a good car with plenty of room in the back seats for one of my mrs or I to sit in the back alongside our baby in the baby car seat. But I'm finding that the boot is too small!! We can fit everything we need for a trip out in the boot...
