Fair enough! I suppose the novelty would eventually wear off if you live there
I'm usually there when I go from one end of the country to the other in one go, so prefer to complete the journey is a short a time as possible

Make sure to test the sound system with you're own music. DAB quality is only average and for me sounds rubbish compared to bluetooth streaming from my phone or MP3s on a SD card.

Problem then though is fuel drops quite quick when your cruise control is set to 150mph+
Thanks I have adaptive lights with auto high beam on mine now and I do enjoy them but I think if it's a choice over the better sound system and then I should go with the sound.
Will do mate thanks for the heads up. Will report back tomorrow after drive.
Makes sense, however matrix are much more than auto high beamProblem then though is fuel drops quite quick when your cruise control is set to 150mph+

They do but I still wouldn’t pick them over B&O sound.

Sorry I should have expanded alittle. Mine do a similar thing by sensing other cars and keeping the rest of the road on full beam without dazzling them. I don't think they are as advanced as controlling individual leds but instead have something that moves in front of the bulb to block out the light where needed.

Its a very good engine, quiet, refined and I got an average of 47mpg on a recent trip from the south coast to leeds with my A4. Can you not still get the light and vision pack as I spec'd that on mine and it cheaper than buying the matrix headlamps and the VC with the extended interior lighting seperately. I would stick with 18" wheels as the ride is good and also refined.
Soldato
No option for that mate you have to buy separately. I did look at the upgraded led interior lighting but I have multi colour lighting in my current car and dont really care for it. Happy with just the standard white i think. a lot of these options i doubt will make much difference to resale value.
That sounds great I was worried it was going to be a bad choice being the cheapest engine choice. Regarding the wheels I am set on the 19" alloys as I really like the look of larger wheels on cars. Hopefully the ride is not terrible and out here in Germany the roads are better maintained than they are in the UK.

2017 Ford edge. It's got quite a bit of kit on it which I like. I just want something abit more premium and smaller.

So had my test drive today (unfortunately a coupe and not a sportback)
First impressions are the car drives nicer than my Edge and feels more refined. The cabin is quiet and feels well built.
It had the massage seats but in half leather which was OK but not amazing. The HUD is a nice option but I don't think I can justify it. Coming from driving my current car it takes some getting used to being sat so low and the cabin feels quite small. The wireless charging and overall infotainment system was great though, the reverse camer/screen looks higher resolution and clearer to mine.
I tried the B&O sound system out in a rs5 they had there and was quite impressed. The music was nice and clear without being harsh. One thing though after sitting in the Rs5 was the carbon inserts in the dash are really nice and set the cabin off perfectly. Will maybe look into changing the silver ones if it's not too much work or expensive.
As long as the quote I've requested comes back as expected I think I've found my next car and will be putting the order in early next week.
Thanks for all the help.

Sounds good, I just had a dealer oil change and got charged closer to £230.

Ended up ordering with the matrix lights also. I asked for a price without and they didn't remove them from it so just left them on. Not a massive price difference anyway.

Ouch...I use a specialist about 5-10 mins from work
Hi - could any current generation TT owners recommend me a half cover for outdoor use. Looking for something I can pop on and off to keep the worst of the crap off as my parking is over grown by trees (Leylandii) and prone to bird mess, needles dropping into the engine bay. Car is on order and I'd like to have a cover ready before it gets here.

Someone on the TT forum was asking that a couple of weeks back but there doesn't seem to be anyone making them. Apparently a Mk2 cover almost fits but is a bit loose around the base at the front because the mirrors are in a different place.
