Its for the wife, I drive the cossie everyday so maybe a 185 bhp one depending on how much we can get one for. The couple we looked at yesterday seemed very nice, very well built

Boss had one, horrible horrible car.

Full of electrical faults and ECU problems, it was brand new, the dealers couldn't give a toss after they sold it to him. They were so naffed off with him in the end that they swapped it for another 2 months later.

Then that started with a similar ECU fault so he drove it in to them chucked the keys at them and walked over to the BMW garage and bought a new M3. He told them to invoice the Audi garage for it....... and they did.

Thats my only experience sorry. But since then I have noticed you do see a lot by the side of the roads broken down or on the back of recovery trucks etc

my mate had one of the early ones with the dodgy rear.He then got a new 225 bhp one when they came out .Recons you got to get the 225 one as its so much better in his opinion.However he now has it running over 300bhp .
Been in it a few times and all i can say is clostrophobic(sp)forget the back seats for anyone over 10
