So, bearing in mind, i needed space and practicality, I still needed to keep a smile on my face while driving it !
So, after much searching I found an Audi A4 2.5TDi Quattro Sport.
Fully loaded with leather, sat nav, 18" alloys, sunroof etc etc etc and a bonus of chipped to 220bhp with mahooosive torque
cared:this is my 2nd car.. whats yours ?

While my MR2 has all the practicality of a tent in a hurricane it was essential I bought a sensible car of some sort. Especially bearing in mind I have a 9.5 stone American Bulldog called Ollie :lol:

Love it for its ease of use, practicable, smooth, lots of toys, silent - well when the stereo isn't turned up then it is very loud indeed, and of course 50MPG on average doesn't hurt either.

The Sat nav in the Audi is a CD system, so runs on small screen in between gauges on dash, not brilliant, but functional.. shame is is not the DVD system which is on a larger screen in centre.

BOOSST yes, but I suspect you have more than 2 doors and a boot you can fit more than a nats nuts in :laugh:
True ! But the IS200 boot isn't very big, rear seats don't fold, so it's not super-practical ! But I'm not complaining

15-09-2017, 02:35 AM #8I did get to drive a Ford Mondeo (latest shape) a little while back when my car was off the road. I have to say I was kinda shocked how good it was. Cars have certainly moved on a long way in the last 10 years.
