I set myself a low budget for a relatively high list of desirable spec items, so finding the right car was not easy. However, the right car at the right price came up just before Christmas and I picked her up on Saturday. Anyway, here’s the spec:
59 plate
Sepang Blue with silver leather sports seats
19” Titanium Rotor alloys
40k miles
Mobile Phone Prep
BOSE
Sat Nav +
Audi Music Interface
Cruise Control
Hill Hold Assist
Rear Parking Sensors
Privacy Glass
Adaptive Headlights
Being honest I wouldn’t have picked the silver leather, but having seen it in the flesh I actually really like it - the contrast with the relatively dark exterior works well and the light coloured door cards brighten up the cabin too.
Bought the car from Coulsdon Audi, and have to say the service provided throughout was excellent. The sales executive Jed Callan could not do enough for me and went out of his way on several occasions to make the whole process as easy/pleasurable for me as possible. Really down to earth & genuine guy too…if only all salesmen were as good as him.
My initial impressions having owned it for a couple of days are that the power delivery from that engine is superb (makes it ‘feel’ faster than my RS4 did – not necessarily better – just different) and the exhaust note is addictive in sport mode (even though it’s quiet compared to a V8!). The ride is a little firm but not uncomfortable and the car just seems to want to stick to the road. I like the cabin and love the looks – in my opinion sepang blue just suits the car so well. Too early to say how I’ll get on with it longer term, but for now I'm one very happy new owner...
Here are a few pics I took whilst it was still clean:
