This is my new motor. 2.0TDi S-Line in meteor grey, cruise control, alacantra leather seats, S-Line alloys, standard sports suspension.
Having just viewed someone else's extensive pics of their new white S-line on another thread, my pics feel largely redundant, but thought I'd post them anyways, if only to give potential buyers a look at the colour.
Externally the car look so sharp. When I picked it up from the dealership the S-Line body really took my breath away. It gets that balance of muscular and class just right. A real head turner, especially when the LEDs are on durung the day, they really do look the business. The photos don't really give the full impact of the car.
The car itself is a dream to drive. So much smoother and quieter than my previous B6 sport. Cruising on the motorway it hardly feels like you're over 70mph and on the country roads I've never felt so glued to the road.
Internally the S-Line seats are very comfy and the cockpit layout has everything where it should be. The MMI is great and the SD card reader is superb, a great feature. The foot pedal positions are quite diferent from what I'm used to and I've taken a week to adjust my driving position. You feel like your left foot is catching on the footrest every time you depress the clutch, until you get used to moving your foot over to the left a wee bit. The steering initially felt heavy compared to my previous car, but again I'm used to this now. If I had the option again I would get the servotronic steering fitted.
I'm just really enjoying it at the moment. I've only seen three or four other B8s on the road, so it's good to be turning heads at the moment!
It'd be good to hear how others are getting on with their S-Lines.
