how much has the car come to? Have you agreed to a finance agreement?

I think it's come to just a little under £25k - I don't do finance!!!!!

Yep, it's a lot and if I wanted a A5 sportback I'd have bought one of those - but I have an A4 B8 at the moment that I'll be getting rid of as I've just splashed out on an R8 so I thought this would be the perfect companion for daily use!!!

The wife is just waiting for her new Q5 in a couple of weeks, so all in all I'll be happy with my Audi filled driveway by the end of the year....... :beerchug:

Whats the saying if you've got it, Luck for Steve1234 he has :biggthump

Steve1234 I would love to see the picture of all those together A1, Q5 & R8 - You should also get an RS5!!!

Funnily enough I have ordered an RS5!!!!! Not totally sure if I'm going to take it now as it was planned really to replace the R8 (which I have only just got) but now the A1 & R8 combo seems a bit more sensible. We shall see......

I have had all sorts of cars but just at the moment I'm finding it hard to look past the Audi Range! Unfortunately it will be a while before I can give you a full family photo.

R8 over the RS5 just not in the same league at all, the former is a true supercar, . You would be my GF's ,youngest, best friend. Being a Ferrari fan he is always telling me how wrong I am :D

why not that new spyder?

I don't think my wallet could quite cope with that yet!! The R8 is a used V8, so a cheapy in comparison........

£25k is alot for a small car .. Id rather have an A3 over the A1 tbh

Again, I think it's a case of you pays your money and take your choice.....

I have no interest in he A3 - I'm sure it's a great car (as I do like an Audi!!) but there are so many about, I like to have somthing different and when the A1 first comes out it will be a bit different...... I had a Cooper S when they first came out that cost £26,000..... we have a Fiat 500 Ferrari Edition that cost a fair bit.......

Anyway - the good news is for all you people who think it is to expensive is you don't have to order all the options!!!!! And also, don't forget, the headline price of the car is not really the true cost - early in it's life this car will hold it's value well, desirable cars in this market segment always do - just look at the value of used Minis, they still hold up well even now.

........ forgot to say - following pressure from myself and other people ordering the model Audi have added the options of Panoramic Sunroof, BOSE and 18" wheels to the 1.4TFSi S-Tronic S-Line (not the sport).

So that means my car is even more expensive now as I've ordered all three!!!

I'll have whatever you're having!

I work with Audi in the trade (Advertising) and they reckon the RS5 is their best car to date. Personally I'd have an Audi RS2 Avant in Kingfisher Blue and if I wasn't driving it I'd be polishing it!:D

Paying that much for a small hatchback, I'd say Audi are having the last laugh... Just my opinion...

If I was to have 25K knocking about I'd have went the A3 route. Cheeky little S-Line 2.0TDI 140/170ps, or thrown in an extra 3K and got the S3 Black Edition.

Fancy throwing up a few photos of your Audi collection then? ;)

Audi are beginning to really annoy me with this model now. I don't mind paying the money for what will be the car I want but (following the mucking about I had getting a sunroof etc.) Audi have now decreed that I can not have Leather Seats on a S-Line!!!!!!

I don't get it to be honest - they fit leather sports seats into the Sport but not the S-Line??? I don't want a sport as they won't let you have the Xenons & LEDs......

The fight goes on and I'll probably still take the car - I may then take it to a trimmer and get leather put into the centre of the seats!!

Piccies for you.......

The A1 is destined to replace the A4.......

It seems strange they would make the decision to not allow leathers in the S-Line. Especially due to the fact that alot of A1 S-Line buyers are looking for a high spec/full fat model of A1. I would have thought that providing leather would have been easy money for them...

Love the R8. Nice colour!
