    Thanks. it's a little ball of fun to drive and takes a lot of BMW drivers by surprise when she pulls away from them on the motorway. It's also good fun around back roads with decent handling and vented discs all round. The fuel economy would be OK but I push on on the motorway so I'm getting between 26 28 mpg.
    The noise is addictive. It's also flawed but it makes me turn around for a second and even a third glance back when I park her up. That's priceless.
    Plus, they're rare so residuals are good.

    1.4 turbo? 165bhp? Holy Sh!t! :eek: That sounds like it would live you with a facelift.. :D I'd reckon it would be a lower insure bracket than the glanza Z as well with that been classed as a jap performance car?


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,575 ✭✭✭166man


    This yoke, checked the figures on it and it's true, it is infact 65ft long!


    Apart from everything being terrible it does have a Bose sound system which is actually brilliant. Over 412 miles today it averaged 17.2mpg....average....

    At least it has Bose, I guess. My A4 has it and its the tits.

    I do enjoy the Audi Sound Systems, I've rented a lot of Audi's in the UK, and the sound can be off the wall, especially with the sub woofer up full!!

    It's actually 180bhp out of the box. Gonna map it to 200bhp.

    Did you take off the badges? Or was that the previous owner? I'd put them back on personally!


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,907 ✭✭✭power pants


    same here too, but really nice car either way

    Definitely fan of it debadged.
    Now a 1.9tdi badge I'd be a fan of!


  • Registered Users Posts: 22,080 ✭✭✭✭Big Nasty


    If you wanna go totally stealth get rid of the chrome mirror covers and definitely add a tdi badge.

    At least show a bit of respect to the garden hose and roll it up properly instead of fcuking it into the hedge! :pac:

    Who's gonna waste time rolling up a f*ckin garden hose, when they could be out driving that s4 instead?

    Has anyone any thoughts on badge removal?
    Have you done or would you do it?

    I like BMWs without the badges, but at the same time I like the badge being on mine, even if it only says 320d

    Just looked at a few videos there and it looks easy to do! So what to do? Do I leave them? Or remove them?

    They are easy to take off, but I myself dont like debadged cars though. I think they look weird and too plain.

    Take off the d :P

    Whats worse is people to take the VW badge off the front of a mk4 golf, the little bit cut out of the bonnet looks ridiculous!!
