I think the wheels are a proper letdown, they look so cheap and nasty in the flesh...Also a nightmare to keep clean

I like them. Quite a lot actually. I just don't really like how the stickers are stickers, and not under the laquer. Also, the carbon door mirror covers are wank. Should be actual carbon or just black gloss imho.

It was smoking its tits off when it came in. dont know if it was the lads in the PDI centre giving it a good thrashing as it was the first one we had, or the customer, or possibly both i think

When Dad and I went looking out Audi's, we saw a really nice one which the sales man was using. He then said actually, it's just been sold and as we were leaving, the staff were leaving and he got in another car. Cold start and 2.0TDi A3, and completely revved the nuts off it

Nothing. Just like I wasn't surprised that VXR had the turbo replaced after 300 miles.

our boss had a new agila, one and of the lads took it down the road to pick a cylinder head up. He needed to go back down there the next day and the boss found him out about ragging the car. Trip consumption went down from 40mpg to 18mpg
