They were doing Satnav as a cheap upgrade recently stand to be corrected at around €500 or so.

Also Don't forget to order (if you need them) 60:40 split rear seats they're not standard.

Thanks again. It looks like a false economy to go with the 'e' version and the standard black with black leather looks good. I don't think the irish se version comes with sat nav whereas the uk ones do. The 170 is quite rare in the uk though so finding a 6 month old post facelift one will be tricky. Will try maybe around september. Unless there will be good deals for new january ones from the dealers mentioned and use garmin to save a couple of grand on satnav

Recently there was a free upgrade package which gave you business Sat Nav on the A6. Sat Nav was free, but you had to upgrade the Driver Information system which was around €250 on the SE models. There might be one in stock somewhere, but I doubt flat black with black leather would be stocked with the 170 engine.

UK SE spec on Audi's contains a lot more than the Irish spec, but you'll get VRT'd on all the extra's.

Will look around thanks. I don't think there are too many other differences between uk and irish spec. I wonder how a white one would look?

I've driven the common rail 170bhp in the TT and the new CR is fairly flat, they feel a lot less torquey than the older PD engines, which takes away the fun aspect your supposed to get from owning a diesel, its the relentless push. Thats just my feeling on the whole thing anyway.

But at least they don't sound like a tractor.

Saw a white "old" model in traffic yesterday. TBH, it didn't look that good...
I wouldn't if I were you.

I feel its aimed more at the 35+ man than anything younger. Hence the Noel Edmonds driving his new wife and kids.

Where as the C class is a bit younger manish a bit more aggressive looking
