Another car for the list, R32 stuck in there for 3 weeks, impressive, shortest stay ever!

Got the full dealer experiance today. Talked through the settings, where the fuel cap is etc. Took four hours just to do the handover?!?!

I've managed to put 90 miles on her so far, so can't really get any idea what its like as they were all in London Rush Hour Trafic.

Lovely Interior though

Sorry for the weird pics?!

but you'll have a damn good go trying to find it rs 4 is a nice choice

best car i've found so far is the tvr sagaris. and that's even over an f430. just makes driving a real sense of ocasion. crap for going to the shops though. aston v8 vantage has a bit of both, but for £88k i'd want something a little better than the ford indicator stalks, but the noise makes up for it.

you could always give ecurie25 a go in your quest. they've got some stunning cars it probably won't cost you as must as changing your car all the time. if you do, ask for Erik and tell them that Aaron Weddell told you to look them up. He does know me but not by name so would be a bit long winded to say Aaron's mate Matt who picks the cars up with him.............

R32's are crap when you consider the price/power ratio, I also think they look awful compared to the GTI. Looks like you've moved up a step or two to me. I considered an RS4 to replace the S8 now the used ones are becoming more affordable.
The interior is a world away from the Golf which I think feels cheap, that said even the Golf is an another planet compared to say a Subaru.
You should get more than a few weeks out of the RS4.

Yes Indeed. Its a lovely bit of kit, however the audi system is intergrated into the car, so Pulse have advised not to try and strip it all out, otherwise I would take it with me.

My sister has one of these with the full sport pack...
I know she's very pleased with the performance.

I'll see if she's free for a Nurburg trip too!
