It was the pointless and somewhat condescending reference to track tuition that set me off.

You set off wrongly, it was merely a question. If you'd not, I'd have posted a video of what I'd explained.
Using correct wheel handling should be a full-time thing, even at Sainsbury's Waitrose. That way it's muscle memory that takes over in a 'situation'.

OK, my apologies, it seems I misinterpreted your good intentions.
I still contend that track tuition has no relevance to real world low-speed maneouvring. The way you hold the steering wheel - even the way you sit in the car in juxtaposition to the wheel and pedals doesn't work in the real world, in the same way that racing lines and apexes can't be applied on the public road.

Maybe track tuition is more all-encompassing on some courses than others, but I have never seen an overlap between track driving and trying to tuck your car into a tight spot in a car park.

It for was the wheel handling reference only. I'd hate to try and clip an apex for getting into a parking spot. The correct wheel handling technique can be used at all times, parking, road driving, attacking roundabouts, playstationing. Just saying.

I'm sure Audi would swap wheel of you were to sign on the dotted line....can't see issue

I'd buy it and either put pressure on dealer to swap to seal deal...or change it meself.

What finance rate do you car on audi approved?

also, anyone else get sick of seeing the "your session has timed out" message on the audi used car locator?

Assuming you can swap the airbags over from that wheel to the flat bottomed RS one, it's about £800 from memory

That wheel might be the heated option at a guess

Car looks well specced for the money

I wonder what the other red c7 with ceramics for sub 70k is like:

http://www.audi.co.uk/used-cars/used-ca ... =se_na_re_

Common as muck it would seem!

Yes, the audi used car search page is truly pony. New search? Re-enter postcode. Sometimes re-loading the page with F5 gets round the timeout.

would be really helpful if audi just listed all the optional equipment together so you don't have to read through everything, BMW manage it on their used car locator.
