Hey,
I have been lucky enough to own both the 143 B8 SE and now a 170BHP Sline Special Edition. These were my first Audi's so I cannot compare with previous models. Suffice to say that I am very pleased with both cars but would definately plump for the 170bhp.
I specced the dynamic suspension which offers firm and a softer ride when needed. The dynamic setting feels the same power hike that I witnessed between the 143 and 170. Technically it just 'quickens' the throttle and steering but it does feel a lot nippier.
B&O is a must as is the DAB radio IMHO. I love the car, it has now travelled over 17k miles without a single hitch. In the warm weather I have twice achieved over 700 miles from one tank of fuel, the last time, a longer run, I hit 735 from brim to 10 miles left on the DIS, I reckon it would hit 800 given the right conditions. This was better than the 143, sticking to the speed limit of course!
You will not be disapointed, it will take a lot for me to consider another brand. Best of luck in your deliberations!
