Re: Any other bits worth getting?
For sensible money I'd add Hill Hold Assist and Adaptive Cruise Control to that.

Re: Any other bits worth getting?
Hill assist seems good for £65, is adaptive cruise control worth having ?

Re: Any other bits worth getting?
I've had it on a Range Rover before and it was great. Makes travelling in average speed camera restrictions and rush hour traffic on the motorways far more stress free.
Also Homelink at £180 is good value if you have electric gates or garages.

Re: Any other bits worth getting?
Sounds like your car's not going to be too dissimilar to my old rs4
Active cruise (it comes now in a pack with brake guard and LKA etc) is super good too, and I've gone for it in my next car, but it's a personal taste and only really useful if you do decent mileage
The only thing worth considering is the B&O as the difference between that and the standard system is quite largeActive cruise (it comes now in a pack with brake guard and LKA etc) is super good too, and I've gone for it in my next car, but it's a personal taste and only really useful if you do decent mileage

For £65, hill assist is good value, but with a two pedal car, largely irrelevant IMHORevolution wrote:Hill assist is great... I've got keyless and folding mirrors too

Re: Any other bits worth getting?
I can only add that hill assist is bloody wonderful for driving around central London & it's traffic. However, I also find it an utter PITA when it comes to parallel parking.
It's all torque talk.
Re: Any other bits worth getting?
I think for 65 i get hill hold, also fancy the keyless aswell, had it in my discovery 5 and it was great. As far as discounts go what should i be asking for. They are giving me 3k so far but should i or could i get more ? It basically gives me the recaros for free 

Re: Any other bits worth getting?
10% inc the Audi contribution.
Re: Any other bits worth getting?
Yeh well aberdeen are offering a shitty 3k which includes there 2k input, although been speaking to liverpool audi who look to be offering nearly 8k total off the price of the car

+dead cow - should wear better and stay cleaner than the part-alcantara trim.
Edit: just noticed that you specced the buckets which are leather anyway.

Buckets are one of the main things for me really, its something i look for in a car and for future sale i think its something others look for to
