Audi And Bmw Take The P.ss Again

[pacemaker]

small on size big on price

just did an online configuration for both the new 1 series and a3 sportback

se spec auto leather etc

both in excess of £26000 when speced as IS

did a simular pricing with 3 series and a4 awhile back and they came to over £32000

and the audi doesnt have a six pot

roll on new IS

[ColinBarber]

audi is also FWD

[pacemaker]

yeh forgot about that

also test drove a 3dr a3 sport recently and ride was like a trolly jack!

plus 1 series is ugly!

thing is basic price always looks ok but they both lack the proper options which push price through the roof

be honest only car which competes on price is the merc

[MrADeveci]

1 series ?

Aren't they those Vauxhall Astra's with the BMW badges on ?

Oh sorry ... I must have been confused then !

I'm not sure how your doing it, but i specd up a 3 series to same as SE auto nav.. £24.5k for the lex and 27k for the bima, not much more really.

And cant remember what the A4 came upto

just rechecked

320i sport auto/ leather/roof /washers /elec heated seats/metalic/thro load/cd changer.....£32080

[Froomer]

I thought the 320 was a 2.2ltr and the 318 was the 2 ltr. Is this correct?

[UKPulse]

Yup, confusingly it's...

316 = 1796cc

318 = 1995cc

320 = 2171cc

325 = 2494cc

330 = 2979cc

Audi's ... the cars are ok, shame about the dealers!

"Audi's ... the cars are ok, shame about the dealers!"

Not even sure about the cars. Drove an A8 the other day and it was tedious heap. Not a patch on an LS in my book.

[UKPulse]

The new A8 seems quite nice, but only been a passenger in one for a 7 mile trip to a business lunch. Compared to top of the range Fords, Vauxhalls, Renaults, Peugeots, etc., I'd take one any day... BUT for one thing - the dealers are rogues so no thanks.

Compared to the LS430 you're probably right the Lex could well be better, although I've always found the looks of the big Lex a bit of a let down.
