Flex Posted December 8, 2014 Author Posted December 8, 2014 yes they certainly do, father-in-law has one. They can be re-mapped can't they? So the car slaesman was saying,I cant remember what he said to but sounded good 1 Quote
Rock_Steady Posted December 8, 2014 Posted December 8, 2014 I think The father-in-law was saying you can buy them online and get them downloaded onto the ecu. I did this with my MK4 golf TDI which made a considerable difference. Colour preference? Quote

The one I test drover was a metalic royal blue ish, I really liked it, Mrs said was an old man's colour. Well I am nearly 40! Quote
Rock_Steady Posted December 8, 2014 Posted December 8, 2014 Like the Azure blue? if so it'd look really nice. Quote

I remember when I could say I'm nearly 40 lol, it won't be that long before I'm saying I'm nearly 50 😢 Not to worry though I aim to be driving 300 bhp + jap cars when I'm 80 😃 1 Quote

docwra Posted December 8, 2014 Posted December 8, 2014 A 123d urinates all over a Scirocco in every respect IMO, although I cant speak for the back seats. A 135i does all of that but faster If fuel isnt an issue then Id be looking at BMW M cars, Audi S cars and AMG Mercs, they are bloody difficult to beat for 4 seat performance. Quote

I ddnt want RWD just so I'm covered for bad weather. BMW etc all a little bit too pricey really. Fuel is importantish and the scirrocco was just a little bit different to everything else really.

docwra Posted December 8, 2014 Posted December 8, 2014 Sorry, Im not sure I heard that right, you dont want RWD in case of bad weather? RWD on anything other than a Zed in bad weather isnt much different from FWD realistically - my 328i is much better in snow better than my brothers Focus ST for instance. Put winter tyres on the back and youll have no problem at all. £15K will buy a 2011 123d, it will see 50mpg regularly and be much faster and much better fun as well. Audi S cars are 4WD as well BTW I mean, seriously, a Golf or a BMW? Really? Quote

Fact is I cant/wont drive a beemer and the 123d is surely a woman's car? 2 years ago in the snow all I saw were beemers stuck, hence my reservations. Quote
Ekona Posted December 8, 2014 Posted December 8, 2014 123d is a damn sight more manly than a Golf in a frock 1 Quote
Ekona Posted December 8, 2014 Posted December 8, 2014 I quite like the Scirocco, especially in the acid green, but I couldn't pay more than a Golf for one when it's the exact same car but less practical, albeit prettier. Quote
Flex Posted December 8, 2014 Author Posted December 8, 2014 Is it a fluffy one? With lacy cuffs? How the hell did you guess Quote
Ekona Posted December 8, 2014 Posted December 8, 2014 Well, it's mine and I'd quite like it back, it's getting a bit nippy out now y'know... 1 Quote
Flex Posted December 9, 2014 Author Posted December 9, 2014 Well I cant decide!! Scirroco gets a slating, I enjoyed it, looks different. Any other suggestions? Quote
docwra Posted December 9, 2014 Posted December 9, 2014 Fact is I cant/wont drive a beemer and the 123d is surely a woman's car? RWD, 150mph, 6.8 to 60 does not an effeminate car make How about a TT? 1 Quote

Ekona Posted December 9, 2014 Posted December 9, 2014 Golf R has to be around £300pcm I would think. *EDIT* Just checked, first link came up as £321.98. Quote
hensh65 Posted December 9, 2014 Posted December 9, 2014 Btw I have put about 3 biased Audi comments today, starting to sound like a fan boy. I spent 14K on a 09 a5 3.0 tdi sline, seats 4 people ok, the boot is absolutely massive. Mine is mapped and I see mid 40s mixture of motorway/town driving. 50s easily on a motorway journey. Standard 0 - 60 is 5.9, and it has 4wd for the snow. Road tax was £112 for 6months Quote
R35LEE Posted December 9, 2014 Posted December 9, 2014 A5 is a good choice but a lot of chavs are buying them now 2 Quote
