Suffers mostly the same problems, since most of the parts are the same tbh.  :fighting:

They don't suffer the rust and rattles at least

Or FI related issues in the V6.

Audi interiors have more of a premium feel to me.

What are fl issues?

FI, Forced Induction and all the sh*te that comes with it.

Trust me, the customer is not always right.

Whatever you do, never EVER get a job in retail.

Why is that?

Customers are not always right. Customers who THINK they are ALWAYS right are the worst kind. How you deal with this fact is what tells you whether you're cut out for a job in retail

In my line of work mate trust me if I piss off a customer they are not going to buy their Digitial camera elsewhere they would take a £500k order elsewhere. I have great relationships with my customers.

Nice, yeah it's a shame about the tax on those, but 260bhp and 280lb/ft standard isn't shabby... proper wolfs in sheeps clothing.

So the extra £500 it would cost for a newer one is lost in 2 years on tax alone.. plus future resale value being more..  :indifferent:
