After my impulse purchase earlier in the week on Friday it was delivered. It was filthy; although its only 4 months old it had been sat in a yard for the 2+ months! Didnt get any pictures before but these were from the yard which were taken over a month ago; so with all the snow of recent was even worse than this.
Anyway after a whole days its back to like the day it was driven off the forecourt; its a lovely little car. Just need to apply for the logobook to get the tax and it on the road so prob be a month or so before that happens!

Not too bad!
De chromed front surround would make this look mean.
And bigger wheels

Sat nav 
Still confuses me how in the day and age of 8 speed gearboxes, some VAGs are still specced with 5 speeds. Thought the 6th gear would bring emissions right down.

Looks like a nice little motor. A bit feminine but a good starter family car.
How comes it never came with a logbook and was sat for 2 months? Seems a waste especially as it's not even 6 months old.

Not a fan. Very plain and boring and looks like a proton.

Yeah stolen recovered; has about 5K on the clock. No damage as stolen with keys but guess the owners had gap insurance and got new for old. Only taken it up and down the road; as although its insured and road tax is free I still cant get it without the log book as for some reason they cashed it in....for nothing!!
It does feel a nice drive; feels more like a big car and little things like a soft leather steering wheel makes it a very nice place to be. It is a bit girly but not as bad as what she might have ended up in; but I prob wont drive it a great deal is im still in love with my daily

Yeah probably; esp as I dont appear to go to work either as work from home 95% of the time
Feels nice to be able to get the cars we want again after a few years of just spending money on houses!

Nice, does it have the nav? I hate the way that the A1 I know of has a NAVI button and it just tells you it isn't installed on the big screen!

They are all 'fitted' with NAV but if it wasnt specced from factory its locked out - costs about just over £400 to get the SD card with the map data and the codes to unlock it from audi - wouldnt think it would be that long until someone figures out how to unlock it and provide copied SD cards tho

Nice looking cars, can't help but feel the interior is pretty boring though.

I find audi seats too hard on the side bolsters, when you get in and out it like shuffling over a kerb stone

I know a fella that does,think its £150. You would need to get to Bradford though.
What's it like to drive? Does it feel small inside. Where did u get it from stolen recovered?
