Title: Found a new car at last
Post by: Alexander on May 20, 2011, 10:43:44 am

Going to put a deposit later on an Audi A3 Sport 140 tdi Sportback

Possibly the most unadventurous and sensible car I will have ever owned but it will save me loads of beer tokens!
Its got bose and full leather so I'm happy!
I had my heart set on an S-Line but this is literally less than half the miles of an S-Line for the same money- madness!!
Same interior, same engine, just slightly higher suspension and no spoiler and missing a few subtle styling details!

Also everytime I have a black car I say never again but I keep buying them! :laugh:

Now all that remains is to sell my Discovery 3

Sounds identical to my mates old car. Black 140 with leather and Bose. I hope for your sake it isnt as he was an animal behind the wheel and blew his turbo and god knows what else.

nice 1, your better off without the lower suspension of the S-line the ride is shocking, if you do want it lower you'd be better off getting some quality springs yourself :happy2:

Thanks Gaz, I've heard that about the s line suspension. My thinking is that with less on the sport it gives me a blank canvas to tailor it to exactly how I want it!
Probably better off with slightly higher suspension on some of the Fen "roads" I drive on!
