    OBD-II Port

    I was wondering where abouts in the car the OBD-II port is located, as well as which of the standards it uses. I'm in a 3 door, don't know if that makes a difference. Thanks.

    DSG +/- back to front?

    Not really about DSG, but the automatic gearbox in the new Mini is even weirder. The "paddles" on the steering wheel, both on the inner ring of the steering wheel (kinda hard to explain), need to be pulled to go up and pushed to go down. so it's not the left one to down shift or the right one to...

    Sort of poll: which model 8P do you drive?

    Yeah, I seem to have gathered by reading here that driving/choosing a car in england seems to be a pain in the *** with all the tax brackets on emissions, and the insurance rates and such. Doesn't seem anywhere as crazy over here in Switzerland.

    A3 2.0T vs A3 3.2 vs A3 2.0 TDI ( Quattro's )

    I've driven both the 3.2 and the 2.0T, and in my opinion it's all down to they way you drive. The 3.2 always wants to be driven, it's harsh in first gear, and braking is harder too thanks to the bigger front brake disk. where as the 2.0T can be driven normally around town without having to...
