I think the Mercedes steering wheel is no worse than any others in regards to buttons. It has been a thing now for a while to put buttons on steering wheels, but once you are familiar with what they do it is much better than using touch screens. A lot of the functions can be done both ways...

This one has an easy workaround - don't drive around in Sport mode. :D I had the same car as you in the same best colour and I only ever used Sport mode for when I wanted a quick getaway. Sport is not suited to everyday driving because it changes up too late and changes down too early so you...

CLA has exactly the same tech as an A with as you say a stunning look. :) Or did you mean if you choose the CLA you will opt for a lower trim spec? I have a CLA in top trim spec Premium Plus and it is certainly not lacking in the tech dept.

It does not inspire confidence when they refuse to give a breakdown of the cost....which would naturally lead you to the conclusion that you are being ripped off and they know it. The job is simply a clean and regrease so what parts are used in addition to the paste that you mention? I am...

Yes the discount is no longer valid and the quoted prices are back to normal, but they are still stating "Prices below include 25% discount available for Audi's 3-15 years old" So never mind not rewarding loyalty(which I completely agree with), whoever deals with the online side of things cannot...

Apparently not if you are on a variable service schedule. Here is a quote from the small print - "All cars must be set to the fixed service regime by the Centre."

I already had an idea so jumped at their 20% discount offer in the Summer - getting first 2 services for £576.

I remember reading on here a while ago about the outrageous prices that Audi charge to "service" a panoramic roof so was relieved that I didnt have one. I do have one now on my Mercedes and assume that they will want to rip me off as much or more than Audi would, but apart from opening it once...

But would you have wanted to take your S3 to these places? ;) From my own perspective it wouldnt matter how off road capable my car was, I still wouldn't take it off road by choice. :flushed:

I would totally recommend this. I have had one on my 3 previous cars and it was a neat and simple installation by pluggin into the 12v outlet at the front(back) of the centre console, but my present car will require hardwiring into the fuse box which is a little more tricky and I have not got...

That is good positive news, although it depends on how strongly your insurance company are willing to argue and pursue the case. You deserve satisfaction from this, so I hope you get it. :)

Just to add clarification to this offer, because it is not as good as the previous offer running in the Summer. The 25% discount only applies to cars between 3-15 years old 10% discount applies to cars between 0-3 years old. Same as previously though, S models above 2000cc and RS are excluded.

Will be watching this thread with interest, and I hope you get a positive outcome. Surely the other driver has committed an offence by refusing to exchange details?

Genuinely curious about when you feel the beeping is needed?

I just can't understand why anybody could think this is a good idea. :blink: I remember back to the 80's and 90's and most aftermarket car alarms made a bleeping noise when activated/deactivated, with some being really over the top with a series of tones. Sounds absolutely terrible nowadays, and...

My 2018 S3 did not have the advanced key option, so being used to a full keyless system on my 3 previous cars I initially found it a chore having to go back to using a conventional key to start my car. However this feeling quickly passed and I found it no problem using a key again. My present...

Looking at the above photo I wouldn't trust most drivers to drive straight down the middle without hitting anything, never mind manoeuvre in and out of a parking space. :anguished: Seriously, I would take one look at that and say to myself...Nope!

Another random white car in a car park this time at B&Q in Kirkcaldy, but a carefully selected space hugging the nearside kerb. :innocent:

Well funnily enough that's the colour I originally wanted when I was looking at the CLA 35. :relaxed: But then I decided I didn't want to pay that much for the car so went for the next model down which unfortunately wasn't available in yellow. White it was then.....and no straight jacket...

That seems like an amazing price! About 3 weeks before I got my CLA in June I had to renew my S3 insurance and Admiral were the cheapest for the first time ever. I am 53 with a perfect driving record for 20+ years, post code is rated as second lowest, 6000 limited mileage, garaged, £150...
