New Company car day,
Had to say goodbye to my beloved a4 sline today.
lovely car, will be missed.
this was delivered.
heres one of google of the rear, because I must be the worst photographer ever.
Verdict: Drives really nice, same power as the Audi, but rear wheel drive makes it much more interesting, the steering is better, and the ride is a huge improvement over the A4, (Audi + Sline suspension + London roads = me sounding like a moaning old git) The Idrive system needs to be changed to Icrash as it is immensley distracting, some cool features though.
I MUST rember there arent any rear parking sensors, the Audi had them and I have become quite a lazy git when parking, just wait for the beep!
I am going to miss the Audi's toys though, climate control, heated seats, massive boot, and the looks of it, im not 100% on the 1 series, its pretty good but I feel im in a little car that thinks its a 3 series, but it isnt.

Same power as Audi? Should have just remapped the audi tbh. Cant see the point in changing cars 
On a more serious note thats lovely. Interior looks much nicer than the outgoing 1. Starting to really like the rear end too. Still can't decided on the fron though. Decent colour choice too!

Yup, I cant exactly cruise in a big power car as I have a fuel card, not bad though.

Yes I love the colour, was lucky to get metallic,
Im going to look into what you can get added onto the idrive system retrofit style later,

S Line is a far superior looking car.
1 Series are good cars though supposedly.

really really dont like the bm im afraid would have the audi hands down.
there is nothing about the interiors of bm's that i would deem nice just looks like the dullest place in the world to spend hours sitting.

That front end is one of the worst going on a car.

S-line looks bloody dated for only four years old. Nice replacement though. Cheap cc tax?

Yeah I agree, the S-line does look dated now, and the tax is the best part of it!
