Me neither but to anyone into their reliability the 1.9 in them is the holy grail.

Think the Audi looks well for what it is, not my cup of tea but there are plenty of awful looking a4s around that have been modified poorly and look a lot worse than that one. Presume Daaryl is a young enough lad who likes that style so fair play to him for getting it the way he wants, Would imagine it turns plenty of heads among lads around that age, I know a friend of mines younger brother would love it anyway.

Just cos it wouldn't be something I'd drive doesn't mean I can't appreciate it.

I agree, its not too bad. I have seen worse. :rolleyes:

If It did not have fog lights on all the time I might respect it more, from what I have seen thus far it looks like the driver has them on at all hours of the day and night however.

I seriously don't think the general consensus is that Audi's are terrible, in fact I'd say the opposite. For example I'd drive any Audi over the corresponding Lexus

On the particular car posted, I'd lose the dapper sticker and the wind deflectors, and then I think it'd look a very nice, clean car. The colour is obviously not to everyone's taste, but that's a decision than can be made about any car colour.

If you prefer to drive a diesel Audi over a Petrol V6, well fair play to you.

You probably would be in the minority of most motoring enthusiasts.

But I guess cheap tax and all that.

All depends on the budget of the driver. Young drivers will almost always go for cars with cheap running costs because car insurance is already high enough.

That engine gives it's fair share of problems. It's far from the holy grail tbh.

We don't know if he is driving around constantly with fog lights on. Maybe he prefers to have them on whilst taking photos.
Diesel audis can be very very good especially the v6 version.
But that's a different topic.

Well you are accustomed to the 200 BHP of the greatest junior executive saloon ever made.

modnote - youve had enough pops at this poster for now. Take a week off to consider the effect this is having on the forum -colm_mcm

Noccy_Mondy · 22-08-2015 06:36PM

If it didn't explode at 100k then I have some faith it won't explode at 150, although it is now utterly worthless.

Still fairly respectable mileage for a 11 year old daysul :cool:

My new bus.

Wow, that looks the bizz!
Are there a few options on it too?

Nice looking yoke but I'm not a fan of the flat bottom steering wheel. Seems impractical.

22-08-2015 08:49PM

Not a golf fan myself but thats a beaut! Well wear

Cheers Colm, yeah I'm thrilled with it myself. It's an absolute beast on the road and I've never driven a car that catches other people's attention so much. The colour really pops and stands out.

Not many options ticked actually. They're very well spec'd as standard. I spec'd:
Wheels - only 130 quid over the standard wheels
Leather - expensive!
Keyless entry/start.

Everything else is standard including Nav, camera, parking sensors, adaptive cruise, etc etc.

Oh and I went DSG this time and loving it so far. I'm converted.

Supergurrier · 22-08-2015 08:52PM

Nice one Joe, how do you find it ?

Whats the new Haldex system like/do they have a lsd ?

A simple map can do alot to those an extremely tunable car with solid internals.

Well wear.

umop apisdn · 22-08-2015 08:55PM

Does that golf have no front fogs ?

Love it! Honestly didn't expect to notice such a difference over the GTI but it's really night and day. Huge sense of occasion when you give it some beans, real wow factor! The sheer pace and noise as it goes is phenomenal. Grip is incredible. GTI was a bugger for wheel spin and tramping. This thing sticks to the road. On a wet roundabout tonight at a good pace, no bother to it whereas the GTI never quite gave me that confidence.

The Haledex is very clever. It's not fully active AWD. I believe power only goes to the rear when you push on or you're losing front grip.

4 pipes too but 2 are inactive in "normal driving". Flaps open up when giving it some beans

It has cooling ducts for the brakes instead

No R / R32 has ever had fogs. No room due to radiator cooing ducts. Who needs front fogs...

I notice alot of high spec Audi A6's don't either.
I assumed the fancy headlights nowadays could adapt for when they would be needed?

The xenons are fantastic alright plus the R has the double "U" led DRL's.

Autosport · 22-08-2015 09:07PM

That golf looks amazing and especially in that colour. Catches the eye

well wear

22-08-2015 09:52PM

Absolutely awesome R Joe, well wear!!

Whoever got your GTi is a lucky person after all the detailing it had in Spirit

Thanks man. Yeah absolutely, it's already on carzone too. Anyone on here in the market for a used MK7 GTI? You won't find a better one in terms of spec/condition/miles, absolutely guaranteed.

It is a tad but mark my words, it won't hang around long. He has had lads ringing him for weeks looking to see it. You won't find many (any?) 132's with the spec either.

bazz26 · 22-08-2015 10:42PM

Which one is it?

Was looking at that now and it might improve getting into a car a bit, no?
Maybe it doesn't make any difference at all, but why would it be impractical?

The bottom part of the steering wheel would only be used for parking really I think.

Very nice looking car, new and shiny too:D

Enjoy it, Joe.

True, its almost exactly what I was after when I was looking.
