The new family run around!

Post by guy » Wed Dec 19, 2012 11:02 pm

Not an Audi I know, but a fair bit more stylish than the passat estate it has replaced!

Very happy with it, and I think it looks very cool! :thumbs:

Very nice!
Has it started rusting yet? (and no I'm not living in the dark ages, mine had a rusty wing before its 3rd birthday).

No signs of rust! Went for the 1.9jtdm. Slightly more economical than the 2.4, and didn't need the extra power. The interior is a lovely place to be!

Just got to find some 19" winter tyres for her! :thumbs:

They do have nice interiors don't they?
It was the interiors in both the Alfa and the Audi that helped sway the decisions against the M3 / M5 / Evo FQs.

Nice! Had one as a rental in Italy a while ago. Deffo one-up on a Passat.

Is that a Morris Avant tucked away in the background? Never seen a softside version.
