Hi all,
New member here after lurking for a week or so.
Spent many a night on Mini2.com after owning a Cooper S back in 2004 and more recently on Civinfo.com after owning my current car, a Civic for the last 3 years which was all good fun, but the time has come to look for the next car at work.
Now just this week, I have ordered my replacement car. A MY10 A3 Sportback 1.6TDI S Line :icon_thumright:
Had a choice of a few vehicles narrowing it down to the Golf and A3 but am sure I made the right choice. Not overly bothered about huge speed but wanted the car to look the part at least!
Did think about the 1.4TFSI but could get this in Sport trim as a maximum with only a couple of options. All to do with what the car is worth after 2/3 years and running costs and CO2 (in line with company green policy). So went for the S line 1.6 as even though its a few £k more on price, its cheaper for me??!!
As we get to buy the cars at the end of the term cheaply if we want to, I also thought a diesel S Line would be worth more to sell on (or keep!)
Spec (options) is as follows;
Condor Grey S Line Sportback
Privacy Glass
Aluminium Roof Rails
Folding Mirrors
Bluetooth Interface
Interior light pack
Xenon Plus Headlights (which I think look very cool)
Cruise Control
Audi seem to have taken quite a few orders for this new engine according to the dealer and so I've been told early Jan 2010 for delivery?
Bit of a shame as Im looking forward to it and all of a sudden have had enough of my Civic.
Looking forward to chatting with you all.
