Well my 140 TDI Sportback BE was delivered today on the back of a flatbed
What a cracking looking car they are in the flesh
First thing I spotted was the Alu inlays have come as piano black
and hard boot liner has been supplied as the cheap flexi one. I'm tempted to leave the paino as it does look very good (in it's current new condition anyway) and although the dealer offered to change it he said he'd rather
not because of risk of damaging other trim (?)
Anyway, the hard load liner is now on order but I've also discovered (just this evening) that my sound package upgrade, which I thought should have a 6cd headunit, doesn't. Nothing's changed here has it? I can't find my brochure but I'm sure when I specced the the car the sound package included the symphony hu?
Pretty shoddy from Audi to seemingly let so many cars go out not to spec. Mines a company car and things will be sorted but I'd be very unhappy if it was my £25k I just spent..
Anyway, my opinions of the car so far - the CR engine is refined but the ride is quite firm and a bit fidgety, the steering's typically Audi (very light) and the brakes are
currently pretty poor (I'm hoping a few more miles on them will improve things) but other than that (!) I'm really pleased with it.
I'm really glad I went for the Alcantara seats - look great and really grip your backside, and the other nice touches such as the interior light pack and fantastic xenons (particularly on high beam on unlit roads) make it a nice place to be. I even got a nice surprise the first time I unlocked it tonight in the dark - I didn't realise the "come home" lights (or whatever they're called) also lit up the front fogs. Useful!
Looking forward to getting some serious miles under it's belt this Bank Holiday weekend!
