Audi A3?

Prices are droping pretty swiftly now as there's a new model out now.

too right mate, if you go for a high mileage one, you might even be able to get the 'S' 3 - the Audi equivalent of BMW's 'M'3, for example:

Anyone want a K reg 1.6 injected Nova.  Think my nan's had enough of it in her garage, need to get shot of it asap.  Nippy as fook, but I don't need it anymore.

I've got a focus mate and it's my second one in a row, best car in it's class, if you buy a diesel make sure its the new tdci engine and not the older powerplant.


Title: i'm getting a new motor
Post by: Ralphy on Wednesday, January 19, 2005, 18:02:17
I dispute that strongly. The Focus is NOT the best car in it's class. It's well built and roomy but look at it, boring!

It's a ten year old design mate, just on its second mark now and other manufacturers are still copying it. Just look at the shape of the new citroen c4.

Post by: Ralphy on Thursday, January 20, 2005, 12:13:50
The C4 is a pig yes but overall the Focus is not the best car. The new Astra is better.
