Hopefully there will be some sort of amount given by Audi via the finance contribution £2000?

I mentioned the RS3 to the wife the other night and she didn't bat an eyelid??
So I tried my luck and mentioned a trip to the dealers this weekend to look at an SQ5............She wasn't happy with that idea....:whip:
Wanna swap....Ha ha

@SPIKE_S1 - The wife has gone quiet at the mo after finding out how much it is
I may have 'shot' my bolt' to early I'm thinking :(

Discount? Not a chance IMHO

The TTRS is very efficient and confident from the first turn of the wheels. The understeer is to be taken into account, but we can afford to get back into the corners, helped by electronics that keeps watch!
The demonic sound of the 5-cylinder will make you haul the hairs at each acceleration ... and every descent report!
Car very usable everyday, but expensive to buy + the malus that hurts in 2017 (In France 10k€)!
Overall quality down.

*** No Bang & Olufsen....lol so have you ditched the S3......LOL....Audi have stopped making them according to our @Sandra who is UBER MAD on one,but which kinda makes sense as they are a very niche car at a very high price...Audi Germany have kept all the best ones for themselves....there's over a hundred on the dealerships websites,with the most expensive one at 90,000 euros

I saw this Porsche Macan this afternoon in Monaco. Very close of the Audi's Ara blue don't you think?

I have never been a fan of Lamborghini designs, way too much in your face.....football players and other wannabees seem to love them.

Only been to Monaco once so far and saw lots of nice cars, the Mrs took a picture of one whilst we were driving without knowing what it was, she showed me and it was a Porsche 918 with the Weissach Package!
