A4 1.8T. 61k, fsh. Only £570 tpft insurance. Wanna get some new wheels, a new exhaust, lower it a bit to stop the boatyness and maybe a bit of engine tuning. Don't know much about these so still looking into what i can get for it.

it goes pretty sweetly considering. don't know what it is standard bhp. found a 220 bhp intercooler mod but that was near 1k. Mods on a budget at the mo.

I decided i needed something bigger with some comfort level. Climate control and all that really helps. cant believe how light the steering is compared to the corsa. Still got the same offset problem though. Need et45 ideally. Found some sweet AEZ Forge but only in 18" and only et30.

i'm guessing thats sarcasm. The corsa has heavy steering and heavy pedals compared to the audi. Went to plymouth and back last weekend and the benefits of having a decent car really paid off.

My corsa had pas and i ran it with 17s lowered 40mm at one point. It seriously felt heavier after i drove it straight after driving the audi one night.
I was looking at a few cars and nearly got an a4 2.4 quattro but it was sold. One of my neighbours got an a6 avant and when i had a look around that it made my mind up to get an audi.

Audi's have steering which is labled as servotornic. This means that at lower speeds you get very light stering to help you manouver the car about tight corners at low speed e.t.c... Then when you speed up the steering gets heavier, so that its easier to cruise in a straight line and take corners at speed e.t.c... Makes them very pleasant to drive so I have been told

4.5k. Hadn't been used regular for ages. had exactly 59980 mileage when i picked it up. All receipts, previous mots etc the lot. Had been an old couple using it as a run around so it hadn't been thrashed. Probably driven on the clutch but not thrashed.
