I started my journey to Norwich Audi at 6am yesterday and finally got home at 9am this morning. Storm Eric has a lot to answer for!
We have been looking for a good one of these for a while now but any that popped up locally were either base spec or very high miles.
I initially had been looking at the 2.0 TDI S-Line however deep down I knew that I would prefer the 3.0 Quattro. I was keeping an eye on the usual Auto Trader, UCNI and Audi approved used sites and missed out on a couple which had just sold prior to my calls. Then I spotted this car. It was the colour we wanted, had a brilliant spec list, wasn’t badly priced and came with the benefits of buying an approved used Audi (12 months warranty, breakdown cover, key cover, 2 free services, etc).
There were no pictures of the car and the dealer was unable to do a video as the car was off site in prep. I took the chance and took his word that the car was spotless and placed a deposit. I was not disappointed!
It’s a 2015 (facelift) 3.0 TDI Quattro S-Line Black Edition S-Tronic. The spec list is as follows:
Technology Pack
Front centre armrest
MMI touch
Colour DIS
Navigation system - High
MMI navigation plus
Audi Connect and Audi Phonebox (wireless charging)
Heated front and rear seats
Lighting Package
Electric heated/dimming/folding mirrors
Daytona Grey
20x8.5J 5arm Rotor Allows fitted with Pirelli P-Zero tyres
3-spoke leather multifunction steering wheel with paddles
Black edition / Black Styling Pack
Piano black inlays
BOSE surround sound system
Privacy Glass
LED headlights with high beam assist
Electric opening/closing tailgate
I had a near 5 hour drive to the ferry last night and I got out feeling as fresh as a daisy. It is such a comfortable cruiser and it can shift on rightly when you want it to. It’s planted to the road with the Quattro system and I love how it looks. It’s also massive inside!
The BOSE sound system is excellent and the MMI has plenty of features to keep me occupied.
I gave it a clean today with Anachem Articulate, Ultrafoam, AD Citrus Wash and Ultragloss. There is no coating on it as yet but I plan to get a ceramic coating soon.
I find myself just looking at it and smiling. I’ve wanted one for a while and I’m glad I held out for the right car. Anyway here are some pictures from today after it was cleaned.
Only plans I have at the minute are sticking my plate on it and getting a dashcam hard wired in. I don’t think it needs much else.
