2007 Freelander 2 TD4 HSE Manual Stornoway Grey

My New Toy! (Not my Freelander 2! That is still here!)

Well after a four month wait, I collected my new A3 from my local Audi dealer.

I have chosen this time an Audi A3 Sportback, in S-Line Black Edition trim.

In Ibis White
Bose Sound System
Privacy Glass
Xenon Headlights
Full Leather
Heated Seats
Cruise
iPod Integration

Plus all the usual S-line kit. I just hope that it will be a better experience than the last A3 I bought new back in 2006!

Anyway, here are some pics.

I hope you like it! It will take me some time to get used to it as I just loved my Mercedes CLK which you can still see in one of the pictures with a nice layer of dust on it! It's new owner should collect it later next week. Freelander 2 HSE Lux 2013MY - Barolo Black with Ivory Leather. Alpine DVD - Privacy -Evoque 20" Dynamic Wheels and more to come.........

You might get a more positive response on an Audi forum - that said looks very nice for an Audi!

I like white; the manufacturer's seem to have noticed that it's getting popular as they've started to feel the need to charge for it (step forward Ford & Vauxhall to collect your, well deserved, booby prizes).

Thank you for not ordering your Audi in oh-so-predictable-it's-a-German-car grey or silver! Solid red would have been equally nice.

1500 miles done it it so far, it is nice, I like it a lot, but don't love it, if you know what I mean. I think I was spoilt by my CLK, which I still have. Mercedes is for sure on another level compared to Audi.

The new 5 dr A3 is not out until September/October 2013, so it isn't an issue.

Budget really, time will tell if I regret it! But it has a decent amount of torque so overtaking is quite easy without using the box a lot.

But it is four cars at the minute! On Picture 2, you can see my CLK which Instill have. Must get round to moving it on, but I don't want to let it go! Freelander 2 HSE Lux 2013MY - Barolo Black with Ivory Leather. Alpine DVD - Privacy -Evoque 20" Dynamic Wheels and more to come.........
