quote: Agreed, some people really mustn't be able to drive :lol: That's called lift-off oversteer, whitter, can happen in any car if you're going to lift off the throttle mid-corner. I don't care what anyone says, I can't fault it myself, been amazing in fact in this weather, no hill too steep. Been a right smart-ass driving past everyone who's stuck. Seriously, I've been driving anywhere where others wouldn't even attempt and it's had no trouble, except ground clearance where it's really deep because it's lowered slightly too, but still plowed through. | |

Yeah just been out in mine for the first time in the snow, with the traction control off it surprised me how much grip I had. It was still slipping but for a 'micky mouse' system it made a hell of a difference compared to FWD. | |

Mine sounds fine, I'm no sound engineer but to the average guy I think my Bose system sounds great. | |

All the Bose systems ive heard inc both of my S3's, the subs have sounded awful, the speakers themselves sound alright but when you take them out and look at them theyre only paper-cone pieces of shit, some cheap aftermarket speakers would probably be better. | |

Slight bit too much bass on the bose for my liking.. sounds unbalanced. | |

£4500. My audi has the Bose system in it, with uprated fronts, sounds awesome I think, well balanced. | |

I'd disagree about the Bose system and the Haldex that've been mentioned, but everyone's entitled to an opinion. Haldex dangerous? | |

You could get a facelifted one on a X plate. | |

facelift were on late Y's but I thought all had the 210 engine - which i personally think is the better engine | |

there were plenty of facelifts on a Y plate. | |

Facelift on a Y plate? thought it was introduced on a 51 plate? | |

Looks well spec'd but im sure you can't get dual climate control and the haldex is more like 75/25 unless its been upgraded. | |

Just look on Autotrader/PH and compare is probably easiest. | |

LOL at breath taking performance :lol: Being an Audi, I'd imagine that'd still be worth what, £5k? | |
