    what makes you think everyone has the extra few quid?

    By that logic, why get an A4, when you could get an A6 for a bit more money

    What idiot buys an A6, when you can get an A8 for not much more?! No point having a big car with a small engine, may as well get the S8!

    You're right an A4 is way better than a Passat

    I just wanted to know what I was missing out on. I can't believe I have survived all these years without knowing that. I'm going to run out and buy me one now!

    Any advice on which spec/engine to go for?

    "S-Line, lowered, tinted windows, Rs4 replica wheels, Rs4 body kit and a remap to make it faster than everything else on the road yet still a MISER on the juice". :rolleyes:

    No Nurburgring sticker? :(

    Yeah, A Nurburing sticker and a big whopping Audi windscreen visor sticker that goes 3/4 way down the windscreen.

    Straight thru exhaust so it sounds like a John Deere :
    BAAAAAAAW.....CHooooooooo....BAAAAAAAAW.....CHooooooo

    You also have to get those dreadful smoked rear light clusters that are the same colour as the car.

    Number plate options include: Yellow rear plate, some obscure font. German style font. Go all out and put those wierd orange coloured German round stamp thingys in the gaps between the letters.

    And then like any Felt Speccer, you need a hitch. Then take donedeal photos of it sitting in a farm yard.

    You want profiling?

    23 to 27 yo, semi-skilled employee in IT or similar, living with parents so salary = pocket money, PS3 worshipper, can't understand why people earning €40k claim to be broke just because they've got a wife and kids....

    And then a whole load of stupid performance stickers down by the indicator side lights.

    HKS
    PIRELLI
    BREMBO
    APEX
    Pioneer
    NITRO
    V-TEC
    BOSE
    et
    etc

    I was going to say a "powered by the dole" sticker on the back windscreen, but thats more of a 97-02 white Civic or clapped out 90's corolla thing.

    Why would anyone with the money for an A4 actually buy one? Pile of overpriced and over rated dung. Everything else is better than one.
