I don't think you would have to do the suspension TBH,I think that is the biggest improvement over the old car, brakes I can't comment on as I haven't had the experience of living with the car day today,after all it is a 2 litre and that's what it feels like,guess I just like a car with a decent lump under bonnet, just my view and quite clearly not the same as othersSilas wrote:
Yep!! Remap and exhaust would do the trick I reckon
Trouble is then you need brakes and suspension etc etc.

I also prefer a decent lump under the bonnet but needs must for me really. I'm happy with it for now . . . .Silas wrote:I don't think you would have to do the suspension TBH,I think that is the biggest improvement over the old car, brakes I can't comment on as I haven't had the experience of living with the car day today,after all it is a 2 litre and that's what it feels like,guess I just like a car with a decent lump under bonnet, just my view and quite clearly not the same as othersSilas wrote:

Still drawn to the C63 though. It's a big itch that won't go away. I'm also drawn to Graeme's RS 4 at Bath Audi. Must stop changing cars!

Re: New golf r test drives
Well the blocking point is her indoors. She hates when I change cars and I've had 6 in a one year period so you can imagine the stress.
I'm currently softening her up.
Want to buy a bigger house as well.

Re: New golf r test drives
I am also nervous about the C63 due to resale being difficult due to there being so many. Plus RWD. Want an RS 4 but I've had so many B8s.
Sensible thing to do is wait until B9 or next RS 3.
