Yo so annoyingly albeit painfully adding maybe an extra 12/15 minutes to my commute I've started driving 20 miles down the M1 and parking my car North London and taking the Northern line into Central London for work, saving approx 250 quid a month this will go up to maybe saving 330 a month if I get to WFH 2x a week, rather than buying a monthly ticket from my home town into Central London!
Anyway I've had my A3 2 door since 2014 it's been fine and I really like driving it, I just drove it home from my G/F's house and damn it can still move fast and it's only 139 hp but the god damn this is such a nice car to drive, the manual stick the steering wheel the bose sound system , the mpg is decent I usually get 60mph each way when commuting to work, insurance and diesel costs are good too.
Anyway as it's been so long I was like somewhat jealous of S3 and S4 drivers , no way I would ever get a RS4 or above probably too powerful for me and I'm not a hardcore driver and the more I think about it the roads and traffice these days puts me off, however I am still in limbo on what car to get next, I have some savings and my next contract is okay, I don't mind spending 15 to 18k on a used car or go the pcp/lease route? what do you think. I probably will stick with Audi as I know a great mechanic who can stamp my services and never rips anyone off! so thats a good reason to stay with Audi.
Any recommendations I've youtube'd the cost of running an S4/S5 or RS and tbh the more I think about it I don't see that many RS's or Porche's or any stuper fast motors bombing it down the motorway on a daily commute.
Nonetheless I have 4 weeks to upgrade before the ULEZ expansion beings, whats a good uprade I'm not poor and I'm not rich but I think to myself life is short should I aim for a S3/S4 or any recommendations please?
I have to say my car has been amazing my brother had an A5 before the chains broke as he never did the change at 75k but that was ages ago, what do you guys recommend I probably will be sticking to the commute to save on train fare's I like listening to podcasts on the way in to work.
I have to admit if i got a fast car and the mpg was down to 22 to 25mpg each way that would hurt , I'm not tight but I don't like the idea of burning money but then again I'm saving 250 to 330 a month potentially on a monthly train ticket, so I could put that towards the cost of running the car?
- update wow so you can get S4 with Diesel does sound like a bit of a fad as it looks like an S-line which ain't bad obviously, so how does this compare ? I might go down this route!
