Does the Audi actually look like that, ie does it come with the LED DRLS and xenons?

It say's so under the S Line spec on Audi's website

Xenon Plus headlights with LED daytime running lights

Can't say I like either that much, on looks, the Audi (just), but I prefer the Ovlov's figures....

I'm still slightly open to other options

What's the ride quality like on the S-Line? Some I've been in had a terrible ride quality.

The new A3 gets a decent writeup even on S line suspension - I'd still want to try it first mind you

I took the A3 for a test drive at the weekend I wasn't impressed just way to small inside, I've gone for the Volvo V40 D2 only £87 a month tax including fuel

They look a very nice car

There's still time to get at least a modest engine though....

I was looking at the D4 R-Design but the less tax on the D2 ES is winning me over

It'll hardly be a massive difference surely - especially considering it'll make quite a differenceto the drive.

I may be out of touch now but iincluding fuel benefit I only paid about 30 or so a month for a 2 litre tdci focus over the 1.6

I recieved delivery of my V40 on Friday and its a really good drive and doesn't feel as under powered as I thought it would compared to my Auris T180

Really pleased with my choice and looks really smart in white

So you were going for a nice blue d4 r design and have now received a white d2.

Pics?

Yes haha went for the more sensible cheaper tax option.... I'm going to go out and buy tweed jacket and flat cap next weekend

I'll try and get some tomorrow

here we go....

Zaf · 2 Dec 2014 at 19:20

So the Volvo V40 has gone and now to pick another car

Options...

BMW 4 Series Gran Coupe 118d SE - £267
Audi A5 Sportback Ultra SE Technik - £246

Audi A4 Avant SE Technik - £230
Audi A6 Avant Ultra SE - £270

Volvo XC60 SE Nav - £235
BMW X3 sDrive SE - £275

Thinking out if the box.....

Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV GX3h (150MPG!!!!) - £125

I'm back in the same boat as to not knowing what type of vehicle I want :confused:

The A5 has the best mpg so swaying towards that as I do not get private miles anymore.

I would go for the Jag XE R-Sport/Portfolio but don't want to be stuck in a hire car for the next 5 months either

The A5 is totally ancient, its a car that came out 7 years ago and it shows.

By contrast the 4 Series is completely new having only been released this year (Though it is based on the 3 which came out 2 years ago, but even so, it's new gen stuff, the A5 absolutely isnt).

If you want an Audi the A6 would be a far better choice as it too is a newer gen car.

BMW 4 Series Gran Coupe for me

A 418d SE isnt going to look quite like that though.

I was just thinking that

Hmmm the Merc CLA has a hatch and can get the AMG Sport for £255

I've tested a couple of A5/S5 recently and they weren't too shabby inside.

Off that list I would choose the A6 Avant, they have lots of space
