OT: Uhoh wife went to the dark side...
She went and bought an Audi A2, something which I'm led to believe was never sold in the states?
Anyways, we ended up getting a really good deal - got about $2ks worth of free stuff thrown in for the price including two new tyres and a cambelt change!
Nearly forgot to mention that it's had a full ECU remap and for a 750kg 1400cc 3 cylender TDi car it REALLY shifts - I kept skittering the front wheels coming off roundabouts/traffic circles and the Traction Control kept kicking in...
Anyone that thinks it's a toy car, it'll outrun my TDs without breaking a sweat and at 75mpg on the motorway for the win!

Watch the dipstick like a hawk,blew one up in Bavaria once. Hire car ran a sump of oil in three day thrash! Wonder why they stopped production? Time you were convinced that a TDS will blow that into the weeds!

Honda Fit or Toyata Yaris? Closest we get.
OOOps, forgot the Smart Car. Fantastic mileage in the city, but the M50 still gets 30+ US MPG on the HW and packs a lot more for road trips

First of all you've got to base this on people who have a clue, cuz the other 90% doesn't know jack, otherwise - we like cars that don't kill us when we get inside them.Originally Posted by bigtisas

Traction control? You got that option cos you are used to steering with your right foot on roundabouts?Looks like a clean motor, very frugal and fun to drive. Never driven one but seems like a good choice to me

Dont even think of a Smart-ass Car! On my third and giving up this Carbon crap,E34`s will outlast two more generations of these eco-crap cars. Come to think of it, how the hell Do you scrap a Prius??????????
