Hi All,
This is my first post here, I registered yesterday just after I faxed off the order for my A4 Cab! I wish I had found the site months ago as it would have assisted with my decision over specs and options greatly!
It feels fantastic to have a car that I am going to be proud of once again. Historically I posted on the seatcupra.net forum back in the glory days of my Leon Cupra, however the past few years have been very dark since I made the jump from VAG to Saab, a decision I have regretted every day since due to endless faults and issues with my 93 saloon.
I am finally appoaching the last few months of my contract and have made the jump back to VAG, this time to an A4 Cabriolet, I have high expectations, and I'm fairly confident I will be happy!?
Anyway the point of this post was to say hello, but also to ask peoples opinion of the spec I have ordered. I have to point out that as a company car I am limited in what spec I can order, and sadly the S-Line was out of my reach, though hopefully the options I have ordered will have almost made the car visually as appealing, just a shame it won't handle as well. I also am locked into ordering a diesel vehicle and couldn't run to the 3.0 so my only choice was the 140bhp 2.0TDi.
Ok, the spec -
A4 Cab 2.0TDi Sport
Phantom Black with black hood
18" 9 spoke alloys
Pearl Nappa Leather - Wine
Xenon Plus Headlights
BOSE
iPod Connector
Accoustic hood
Heated mirrors & washers
Accoustic parking system - rear
Colour DIS
No rear model inscription
I would have liked the electric seat adjustment, auto dimming and folding mirrors, gutted the DVD sat nav isn't being offered at £500 as it is on the Saloon and Avant, and really couldn't spend any more on extras and couldn't entertain the £1750 for the sat nav option when I have a TomTom which I can use.
So did I make any big ommisions, or specify anything I shouldn't have, I guess the accoustic hood is my biggest worry, I love good quality audio, and whilst the BOSE might not be the best I didn't want it to have to compete with road/wind noise, but to be honest neither of the two A4 Cab's without this option I have driven have suffered much.
Cheers
Tim
