Holy moly! Sounds defo like a brown trouser moment. I came quite close when my car cut out whilst turning left for first exit at a roundabout.

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

^^^^
Surely the point is which car suits your lifestyle best. A Cayman S or TT-RS is useless if you occasionally need 4 seats or to transport a 7ft pole or a 6'x2' piece of fence as I did yesterday.

Ah Tom, don't seem to have the best luck with Audi's eh fella?  :confused:

With £30k to spend I think I'd get an Audi every time.
With that kind of money I think I'd get a black A5 3.0TDI Quattro S-Line, then put a map and a milltek on it. Job done.

Not lightning quick or as fast as stuff you're probably looking at, but an excellent all rounder in my eyes :party:

My money would be on an ED30 and spend a few K on mods and bank the rest. Still have a mint motor that will have lost its big chunk of value and very slowly depreciate...

BMW 1 series engine is very attractive though. Just looks a little small and thin inside.

Id go with a 2nd hand 09 plate A4 3.0tdi with a touch of revo and would have plenty of room and good for the mileage you do and wait till the RS3 or the new BMW 335i/135i/1M come out and see what you think of them.

Or maybe a 2nd hand S4 3.0 not sure you can pick them up for 30k though.

Bonjour! My Wife and I were just saying earlier that this time last year we were sat outside a lovely restaurant in Chamonix baking in 30 degree heat.

For that money, I'd deffo be going for a 335i coupe  :happy2:

Every time I drive my 330i I realise I made the right choice. It's just so much nicer to drive than anything else I have driven and even though there are faster cars for the money, I haven't found a 'better' one yet.

I'm sure plenty will disagree with me though  :grin:
