I thought you meant at a dealership.

Obviously not going to get invited to that as I am a random punter who has one Audi purchase to date.

Also not on twitter and well known with 72k followers.

I will write down my guess just now and hide it until you write your review and see if I'm right

Kenny,

Are you inferring that I'm pradictable. lol

You just may be wrong!

No actually that vag cars usually are as I doubt my opinion will differ

Apologies if this has been shared already... but I love the sound of that exhaust!!!

Think I might have to book one. At this rate I'll be the only person not to have driven it come the weekend

Sent my request for a test drive in July. Happy to wait until the initial glut has subsided.

That'll be all the people booking test drives who have got absolutely no intention of buying one whatsoever

Mind you, I have done that and ended up buying a ruddy car

I'll be quite honest, I'm not expecting to buy one either. But I haven't intended to buy most of the cars I've ended up with

Just seen your post after writing mine, guess you have done the same as me eh! expensive bloody test drives

Yes sometimes you just start talking numbers and a plan starts to form in your head.....................

My dealer friend said the launch day today was very busy - with a line of punters there for their test drives.

Bit manic, so it will be better in the week, when I pop over.

Anyone go to their local Dealer Launch, what colour combo was yours.

How was the "Real live" audio exhaust note for you!?

Demo car was in Bradford JCT600 VW on Saturday.

 

Dark grey metallic with the white leather interior pack; which I didn't like at all.

 

Salesman started it up to give a demo on the exhaust note - but no test drives on the day.

 

Overall, if spec'd well - very nice motor..... but the test drive will seal the deal I'm sure.

Nice to see a Briskoda Member having driven one and with some idea of how it drives and what they might cost.

Sounds are great in this advert, better than all that rally cars in a forest.

 

 

 

 

 

just right for old farts,  

No matter if it is Tom or Engelbert.

There's a great deal currently on the latest 3 series: 335d X-drive M Sport (9+23) £250 + vat or £260 + vat for the Touring - granted it's on 8K miles/year, but even so, that's still a lot of diesel grunt for the money (faster & quicker even than a Golf R)!

Bargain if you do not drive very far annually.  

More Grunt.  But needed to carry more weight not very far annually.

Not sure on faster actually, 70 mph will be the same speed in both. and the BMW is not that good at 30-80 mph.

 

so 18 more hp, with 313

196 kg heavier Kerb Weight than a Golf R Estate DSG.

BMW 1695 kg / VW 1499

 

Gross Weight BMW 2245 kg

Gross Weight VW  2080  kg

As much as I like the Golf, I know which one I'd prefer, especially as they're virtually identical on monthly cost.

 

Golf R: 300hp / 380 Nm

335d: 313hp / 630 Nm

Yes nice if your like cars that run on Derv.

Is that a phasing out of current 3 SERIES models ,hence the attractive deals?

Seen quite a few new 3 SERIES recently, nearby.

I seem to recall that BossFox was getting his RS3 test drive today.

 

I look forward to his review.

 

Will he or won't he go for the Very Powerful Hot hatch with a  DSG?
