Got round to ordering my new car finally.
Really REALLY wanted to justify the S3 Saloon, but I just couldn't make even the man-maths work. A house purchase and a wedding so far this year have taken their toll on my wallet.
Thought long and hard about an A6, but the fact that they are all diesel, coupled with the fact that our driveway isn't exactly the longest thing in the world (only just fits my A4 and the wife's 316ti nose to tail), I ruled that out also.
Really wanted to like the new A4, but after spending a day in one, I just couldn't get used to either the interior layout, or the fact that the stupid "ipad on the dash" approach was adopted for the infotainment screen. They are also horrendously expensive to spec up at the moment.
So given my penchant for saloons over coupés that only really left me with one choice, and this was is:
MY2017 A3 Saloon S Line 2.0 TFSI quattro S tronic
Daytona Grey Pearlescent Effect
Rotor Grey Fine Nappa Leather
Technology Pack
Heated Front Seats
Auto-Dimming Rear-View Mirror
Advanced Key
Audi Connect Infotainment Services
Audi Phone Box with Wireless Charging
Audi Parking System Plus
Hill Hold Assist
S Line Sports Suspension (25mm lower)
Should hopefully collect at the end of October.
Ended up going through CarWow who came within 2% of the quotes I was getting from Broadspeed and DTD, but without all that faffing about not being able to do a trade-in with DTD.
