Sexy car mate!

I've driven the 2.0T petrol version of that car, and it was wonderful, it's probably gonna be my next car.

HI there

Super nice car you got there and they shift too.

Housey · 17 Dec 2006 at 16:46

Lovely little thing, hope you enjoy it.

NickXX · 17 Dec 2006 at 16:46

Look fantastic - in and out

Very nice.Looks stunning in black.

Out of interest how much was the sat nav as an extra, one of the reasons why i went for the ST over the A3 was cost of the bloody options at the time.

I think i will go for the A3 next when mine comes up for renewal, the car just exudes class, unlike the 1 series imo.

Wheels look nice on your old A3... Ooops this is your new car

Looks very nice, im liking the sat nav

Now go take a video of you hooning it around a muddy field to christen it

Snap...I picked mine up in October, same car in Lava grey with different wheels. It seems to be getting better both in MPG and also overall noise levels from the engine as it gets some miles on it. Have covered 2500 miles in it and have loved every one of them

You have good taste in cars and good taste in music.

They certainly ain't cheap. The navigation option is £2175 but that's the whole unit so as well as the nav you get the MP3 player with SD card slots plus the radio is built into it. If you want the telephone kit as shown above that's another £385 and the BOSE sound option was another £440. The steering wheel controls are another £160.

The nav can be had for a lot less if you get it retro-fitted afterward, which can be done for less than half the price new.

Err, no! Only washed and waxed it yesterday!

Very Very nice Toby, how does it compare to your last, those seats look fantastic.

Nav is going to be very very handy for the ring or whatever else crops up, i wanna goto the south of france to drive those top gear roads and the millau bridge, i assume its full euro mapping not just major roads?

Tbh, for £2175, I'd expect mapping of extra-terrestial territories

It is full Europe btw, or at least it should be.

LOL, about £800 more than one of the best aftermarket systems, mine was 1200 when i got it and that does full euro mapping so when you think about it £975 for the audi badge + dealer fitting aint 'thats' bad.
