    Tomorrow is my last day as an Audi owner

    Sadly not :keule: But then again I wanted Le Mans Blue and you cannot get this colour as part of the 'editions' package. Gone for LM Blue with Lemon Leather and the 18" alloys.

    Tomorrow is my last day as an Audi owner

    In the UK you can only get them in Black, Silver, Graphite Grey or Blue - other colours from the 3 series range are available but you have to stump up £2k as a special order. I was very tempted to go the D3 route but the ended up ordering a 320d msport which arrives at the end of March.

    What MPG do you 2.0T boys get

    Average for my 2.0T is circa 28 mpg - I get circa 25mpg on the town commute and easily average 34 mpg on the motorway

    Alpina D3 is ordered!

    Giving it some serious thought, although the new 320d msport with efficient dynamics only has a CO2 output of 128g/km

    Alpina D3 is ordered!

    First the good news, much to my amazement the Alpina D3 is on the company car list, the bad news is that it is £100 per month more than a 320d msport :think:

    Alpina D3 is ordered!

    I had a quick look in the Merc dealers at weekend and have to admit the sport version did look rather smart, plus they were more than happy to offer me a test drive whereas some dealers get a bit funny because it will be a fleet car and may not be sourced from them......

    Alpina D3 is ordered!

    Yep an Alfa 159ti is also on my shortlist along with the new Merc C Class Sport. The one downside with the Alfa is that the Co2 is on the high side for a diesel

    Alpina D3 is ordered!

    D3 looks like a cracking car, I'll probably end up with the 320d msport as I can't see the Alpina being on the company car list

    TDI's dilemma...

    As others have said, if you value pure driving pleasure above all then choose the golf, for everything else i.e. interior quality, better coffee in the showroom,etc I'd go with the A3.

    A3 Sportback S-Line - Poor Ride?

    I thought car sickness was made worse by cars with softer suspension as they roll more causing more disturbance to the inner ear???? Perhaps it was just your gf's driving :)

    Bit of winter advice - tyre pressures

    Just buy a digital tyre pressure checker from halfrauds - they aren't expensive and it means you can check your tyres when they are cold.
