Small car upgrade (with pics)

[Adz]

I deliberated over whether to post this. On one hand, I want to show of my* new car but, on the other, I risk the wrath of Fox. Cunning as he is, he's soon going to point out 2 things that I've intentionally neglected to mention.

Here goes anyway...

Audi A6
S-line
Daytona Grey (Pearlescent)
19" Wheels
MMI / DVD Nav
Parking sensors
Xenons + running lights
Heated leather seats with s-line embossed
Lovely sports wheel
Bluetooth
Likely a few toys I've not discovered yet

It's not exactly my dream car but it looks fantastic, I definitely chose the best colour, dealer service (Brighton Audi) has been excellent, the ride isn't anywhere near as harsh as I expected and it's plenty powerful enough.

Be as cruel as you like, I have broad shoulders .

* 2 year lease. The reasons are my own.

looks nice.

Is the nav screen as small as the picture makes out ? looks like its iphone sized ?

 

[Adz]

I think it's 7". There is a secondary display behind the steering wheel too.

Very nice. I do like the look of the new model A4 and A6.

I take it this is the 3.0 TDI as it's the S-Line?

It's like a challenge. Are the two things I am meant to point out:

a) It is a 2 litre diesel
b) It was introduced 7 years ago and ordered at the same time as a completely new model is launched?

so about the same as the business navigation in the F10 then.

must be just the pics that make it look smaller.

huh? looks loads bigger than an iphone.

I really like that interior.

It's a shame the OP is so defensive, we're not that bad are we?

Damn, that was faster than I expected.

Edit: Defensiveness was in good humour.

Nice car, wrong engine .

 

[zootfloot]

I Like it but...

are the headrests black and the rest of the leather grey? and does it indeed have a 2 litre derv engine....wouldnt that be quite a small engine for such a big car?

To be tailgating in the fast lane on a motorway near you.

One question, where is the handbrake?

Might have one of those footbrakes?

That actually sounds stupid....a handbrake that is activated by your left foot and released by a switch somewhere....there that sounds better

 

[GravyMonster]

So it's a 2.0 TDI?

10.2 to 60. Ouch.

 

[Adz]

It's a 2.0 TDI (170) but, being all aluminium, it doesn't weigh much more than a Golf. I've driven and owned 'fast' cars and this is plenty quick enough.

Interior is black/charcoal. It's just the lighting and cheap camera making it look grey.

Handbrake is electronic, to the right of the gearstick.

Edit: That 0-60 is for the 140 PS model AFAIK.

 

[Fr0dders]

to be honest if the price reflects the fact audi want to get shot of all the old stock its may not be a bad buy.

Yes the new one will be a nicer, but everything that costs more is usually nicer. You have to draw the line somewhere.

Nice looking car, love the interior! when is the new one due out?

 

[Vita]

Nice car. 0-60 is 8.4secs.

 

[dannycivic02]

Its nice good choice on colour.

 

[233]

i like that even has a proper gear box

 

[RJC]

Very nice
