I read that as bits and boobs at a glance....

Sat in stealers at the moment and boobs do appear to be available!

Boobs. That's all.

I'd be happy to have a couple of the ladies from Bristol Audi frequent my new car with me . . .

Anyway, just added B&O and interior light pack.

Final spec

Red
3 door manual
Comfort pack w normal cruise and rear sensors only
B&O
Tech pack
Privacy
Non-smoking pack
Interior light pack
Black heated leather seats

Done.

Only 2k of options so not bad really. Especially compared to the RS 5 which had nearlly 20k of options on it.

Huh? MMI Touch is 1500. MMI Touch as part of the tech pack is 1800.

Tech pack SD which was £500. Wasn't prepared to pay an extra k for the touch and bigger screen. Would have been nice but can't go crazy on this little thing.

SD comprises 2D nav, MMI bluetooth.

Plus, unless you are left handed, it's on the wrong side! It's too slow a process to input post codes with it, much quicker way is use the speech recognition

Changed the order. Going for a sportback now and potentially s-tronic as well as it was brilliant.

I just can't help myself. Bloody Audi always get me.

We haven't discussed the exact figures yet, I may have to remove something to keep it cheap.

It will be way off that.

Only at £1500 down and around £430 prior to changing to sportback. Residuals are stronger anyway so it may not change much.
