really want one and i usually not keen on audi blandness
i need a test drive but im actually a bit boring with cars these days, been in a few saloons recently merc, audi, lexus, mondeo lol and the extra space, decent handling and features / comfort / presance appeal to me more..
boring i know :(
yea think he has the 'D5' tune or something.. is around 265-270bhp aswell as silly torque, even with 20" wheels it still pushes you into the seat 30-70, and errr no wheel spin either launching in sport mode :)
thanks for the all the responses, i wont share them with my old man lol
both me and my bro told him prior to getting these optional wheels not too go 20" i wont tell you how much they are worth...
ok.. i will, about £4k !
personally Id fit the AMG`s and sell the Brabus 20`s as the company...
haha, the money... well he got it through the company so hasnt payed a penny and does not pay for fuel either !
also the gear knob i will straighten it next time i get in..
i agree the wheels are too big very pimp.. although in reality.. they actually look bigger haha
im gonna try convince him to sell the 20" and get the 18" AMG wheels but still keep the spacers :)
the colour... well there always,black,white and silver.. so my mums only input is the colour...
lol is all i can say.. the man is approaching 60 and aswell as giving my mum his A4 Avant 3.0TDI 237bhp S-line (no point she drives a 1.0 polo at moment)
he gets himself this thing..
now dont get me wrong i thought it would ride like s**t, but in fact somehow with AMG suspension, a 3.2V6...
I think the smugness is wearing off, autocar tested the whole supply and build chain for electric cars and the C02 is much higher yet they dont get anywhere near diesel economy..
having said that petrol is cheaper and hybrid cars like the lexus 450h are very clever, hey get 35mpg from a 2...
cant be that slow its 1400kg and 252bhp thats the same as the new meg 250 (although that probably has loads more turbo torque) and apart from the mazda mps and the focus rs from factory not many other hatches have matched that power + weight.
id imagine a decent intake and remap after a good...
yes its very good actually. so much so ive played it through twice.. which is unusual. large demo with two levels.. can see it being a great fun game.
good gfx for ps3 aswell, good sounds and lots of fun climbing building etc..
well to be honest, your logic is correct i couldnt afford a £200k house out of my pocket either, in the end loans/mortgage/finance are there to allow everyone a slice at the fun not just a few select people... having said that i take your point about lease hire.
I dont know anyone who has...
thats what i thought, if i got a 2 year plan for example the first year would be free service (with nationwide) and then i only have to pay the rip off price 1 once for the second year.
worst thing i can see straight away is that you do get caught in a finance loop again as the purchase price...
well thats good info m8 ! need to be wary of added costs, other than intial payment and VAT what else is there to be wary of ?
is owning such a big deal, i have to ask myself i will own the 138 in 32 months and then i will save £220pcm but then.. i have to get a new car after 3 years and it...
so.. my thing is im really wanting to shift the clio 138 now, so i have lots of options.
i saw a thread and indeed nationwide do seem to do a simular price for a VW sirroco ?
Volkswagen Scirocco 2.0 Tdi 140 Gt 3Dr = £239 over 3 years.
whats the catch (apart from no modding etc..)

any good ?
and by that i mean a.) the company and b.) i assume this is personal lease hire ?
do you usually get to trade in your current car aswell and clear existing finance...
