Yes mate the buttons are on the other side. Still feels special every time I take the key out of my pocket and see that badge!
You'll be pleased to hear I'm back in the Audi fold, just got the wife a Q5 S Line Plus, it's absolutely mint.
It's low rate pcp on most new Audi's I think. Only waited 3 weeks for it, my salesman pulled it out the bag for me! It was already ordered but I wouldn't have changed anything anyways. Daytona Grey is a lovely colour.
As no one else replied to this thought I would! I picked up an Q5 S Line Plus on Wednesday for my wife, it's absolute quality, would highly recommend one. Got rid of her X5 for it. It's a 177bhp TDi and feels just as quick as the X5.
When I swapped my S3 for an A45 I was hoping that when the RS3 came out I would be tempted to go back to Audi. Looking at that I don't think I will. It's exactly the same inside as the S3 and it's just not aggressive enough. Wonder how much it will be? I reckon £45k easy for a mildly specced...
Honestly don't think there's many deals still, Mercedes know it'll sell so they don't discount. I got a decent deal as my wife works for Stratstone.
I personally didn't give a toss about the sat nav screen, very low on my list of priorities!
Now that clubsport A3 would be a serious proposition, bet you're talking £55-60k tho easily. The ride in the A45 is firm but planted. Not had chance to throw it about yet. Feels firmer than the S3 and the brakes are something else. Something the S3 lacked with single piston calipers, shocking on...
I personally don't think you'll see a new RS3 for about another year at the very least.
I think the difference between my S3 and the A45 in price was about £6k. Which isn't a vast amount of money to be honest! People saying they're £50k are hugely specced cars with ridiculous options you'd never...
I don't get the nearly £50k bit. That's if you tick every single option box and throw everything at it!! Mine was nothing like that and got very good options on it. For £40k ish there isn't really a competitor until the RS3 comes out.
Nope there wasn't a great deal of fuel in it to be honest but nevermind. Shell V Powered her on the way home anyways. Yes the key fob is a lovely touch, came in it's own AMG box!
Not got any interior pics yet, yes the screen is attached to the dash which is probably the only let down interior...
For the people that are interested, and yes I know it's an Audi forum, I picked up the A45 yesterday. 1 word. Epic.
It gives me the buzz already that the S3 just couldn't give me. It sounds like a Group N rally car with the AMG performance exhaust. If only Audi would let you pick options like...
