Done!

 

excellent choice, i love these




although a 12 year old wrx wagon is faster

 

lovely car but whats the build quality like? and god-forbid should something go wrong when its out of warranty

 

Thanks.

I'm a chav, so this was always going to be the ONLY choice available to me.

My Subaru that I'm selling is faster, but who cares. Been there and done that.... several times over with the Subaru thing.

 

Build quality is fine, apart from a few that suffer with some rattles...... when you've driven Scoobs for over 10yrs, you come to expect that. lol


It's a weekend blaster mate, so I doubt it will get enough use to "go wrong".

 

fair comment,would look nicer in 3 door guise imho

 

Nice ...

 

Can i ask why you bought this rather than say an BMW M3/4 ?

 

first one ive seen in black,have to say it looks great. the red calipers yum....

 

Which means it probably wouldn't go in my garage (well it would, but I probably wouldn't be able to get out of it), so it's of benefit to me that it's 5 door.

 

do they do a 3 door version?

 

Nice, especially in black. Well played Shaun.

 

is this the one from sytners at sixfields?

 

Many reasons, although the M3/4 is awesome.


More to buy.
More to run and maintain.
No way could I get out of the M4 in my garage.
Too common (or they will be if not already).
Guaranteed to loose a shedload in depreciation.


Above all else I think the A45 is perfect for what I want.


This will be quicker down a B road.... and to be honest, that's my fun driving will be.


Apart from some practical things, I actually love what the A45 is all about.


I've also just got the A45 on an interest free deal.... that was the icing on the cake for me. Saves me tying all the capital up without any financial penalties.

 

Northampton?

 

shreksta,
Afraid not..... 5 door only.

Maz,
Thanks mate.

 

seems more common these days

 

I dare you to have the wheels re-painted in gold...pay homage to the Scooby days LOL

 

Nice one; looks great in black!

 

sorry riverside i mean near billing.

 

Looks good to me! I think the A45 looks the dogs and in black looks just epic. Enjoy!

 

fat-thomas,
That's the one. You local then?

Fabioso,
I wasn't overly keen on black, but once I saw it in the flesh I now think it's the best colour. It looks so aggressive.

 

Gorgeous Shaun... Enjoy

Whereas I chose the most subtle colour which almost hides the M135i bits.
Different strokes...!

 

We're all different for sure.

For me it needed to be a in ya face, which is one of the reasons why I wasn't attracted to the M135i.

Like you say, different strokes for different folks.

Martin,
Thanks.

 

Happy cleaning Shaun, I'd recommend ordering a footrest from these guys as it will save the carpet getting worn

What a lovely motor.

My only gripe with this car is the lack of a manual option.

 

It has a manual mode, best of both worlds.

 

Ahhh found it.... U know summit we must be linked lol this was my other choice black, looks awesome..

What's extras does it have, watch the heads turn shaun, my wife's actually gets embarrassed at the amount of people who stop and point it's quite weird.

Yes I know it's only a aclass but their like rockin hoss poo with aero I've saw one last week for the first time in skipton....

Remap?

 

This made me chuckle... As I remember the thread lol
