Which One Of These PE's Do I Go For?

[ShaneyB]

Hi all,
So I think I have narrowed down my search to 3 cars and I want to order one of them today/tomorrow.

Preferred colours are Nardo & Black. Ideal spec: Leather/FBSW/Reverse camera/Ambient Lighting/HUD/Pan Roof/B&O. Not sure about the air suspension or DRC. Never driven air and will not be tracking it. All PE's have the performance/sports exhaust though right?

All of them are working out financially pretty much the same on PCP regardless of asking price. Deposit, monthly's balloon etc all much of a muchness.

Just interested in what seasoned owners think about these three??

This one will have FBSW and does have reverse cam. Both retro fitted by Audi.

Ambient lighting and sports exhaust standard on the PE -I have air and love it - previous 6 had DRC

Thanks Ian, do you think the air sits higher?

Yep - the air sits marginally higher, but when you select dynamic mode - it lowers itself, which is fun sat at traffic lights- not new Ford GT lowering itself, but lowering itself all the same. Also does the same when you get out of the car. DRC failed on my 2015 FL 6 and at £1500 a corner, despite being under warranty, didn't feel the need to have it again on a PE as I couldn't tell the difference between that and air. My PE gets an easy life though, wanders along the M4 and around Cardiff....

Out of the 3 cars it's a tough choice. Car 1 has the 21' non PE wheels so I'd discount that (one of the reasons I wanted a PE was for the wheels, sad!! I know!!!) - Car 3 will be a mare to keep clean, though I do love the carbon exterior pack which was around £3500 from memory. Probably car 2 for me. Love Nardo. it's piece of p1ss to keep clean and hides the dirt really well. also shows off the arches and curves more than the black one does/will as it's more subtle in black.. If you wern't in a hurry, mines going up for sale around November time

I always thought the air suspension sat lower in dynamic mode to the DRC

Hi Shane, its hard to see all the options as some may not be listed??!! It might be worth getting the reg plates and getting the full spec list from Audi...

Agree with Iain on the one with the non PE wheels, however I do prefer the black optic pack over the silver alloy trim.

The black one 'could' be a bit misleading as the carbon mirrors could be carbon wrapped?? It mentions trim is carbon wrapped. I would check to see exactly what has been wrapped. The roof rails are black, have they been wrapped too as this could be an issue if you use roof bars. I personally wouldn't want any trim wrapped as it could look tatty in the future??!!

Also for info I 'think' the round SW were heated, so might be worth keeping if it will save you some £££

For me I would want the Optima car with PE wheels

But would be good to get a definitive options list on all 3. IF the black has the black optic pack (but has been wrapped carbon) then that could be an option (if all the carbon wrap was removed) if it has silver \ Ti alloy under then I wouldnt want that....

Hmmmmmmmmm....

This is right.
