How time fly's when your joyriding around.

Very quick summery.
Comfort .....10/10
Grunt..........9/10 Good enough for me.
Road holding....8/10 - Ditto -
Style..........10/10
Every thing works at the moment (fingers & toes crossed) No DPF messages etc. (Early days yet, will post back on this issue later).

As it's my first Premium car I'm bound to be impressed, but I really am impressed.

Couple of pics, although it's a weeks worth of dirt on her.






















The wheels soon get dirty.














Oops!!! got carried away, hope that's not too many.

Very nice Bob - must get my camera out.

Agree with you on all points (comfort I'm still working on but at 9 months pregnant nothing comfy at the moment - I speced the electric drivers seat though which is a godsend at the moment!!)

DAB is great too - much more choice on the move. Would recommend that to anyone speccing at the moment.

Had a courtesy car from Audi yesterday which had DAB. I was really impressed with the choice of stations - quite hard to beliveve there are so many others out there which you wouldnt have know about if you didnt have DAB. Could always find something I liked to listen to which was great. Signal dropped a few times - have you found that too?

Glad is comes as standard on the car I've ordered - had it not would have to have ordered it as an option as defo worth it.

Only got the R-design convenient pack + Sunroof, didn't want to tempt fate with too many gadgets to go wrong. (I'm not really a negative person )

So you'll have two babies to look after soon

Seriously, good luck with the birth and post some pics of the little treasure in the car seat.
