Rotherham, South Yorkshire

Been and had a sit in an A3 today. It's bigger than the merc, the MMI is better, rear leg room is better, more adjustment in the bigger seats, adjustable suspension, nicer dash, bigger boot and it's a few quid cheaper a month. Hmmmmmmm......

Putting aside looks etc, if your getting rid of the a6, you really need to consider the space inside

We'll be replacing the A6 with an estate of Lisa's choosing (with my guidance/approval).

Got the gf a new a180 amg sport. Very smart. She had an a1 sline before that. Looked at the a3 but the merc has so many nice touches plus 6 months waiting compared to 10 weeks for the merc.

I've been giving this some thought of late. Chances are I'll go for the boring passat estate and live with a small engine...

Please dont... A1.6 is way to small to be any good, especially when towing

I hire cars every week, and would go for the Merc any day. The new ones are a good ride, even if I dont like the satnav/dash. It looks aftermarket I think

It's a practicallity thing. If I have an A class etc at 6' 4" tall with a 36" inner leg, there's no way I will get a wet fart, never mind a human being behind me.

At least I will have the mini for fun driving.

Just bear in mind the car is simply a means for getting about for work. As long as it in comfortable for a long drive and has the space, go for it.

Yep, a whole 1.6 litres... I've had a 2.0 passat for the last few weeks, so this seems a bit slow in comparison. It's not terrible though.

If it were my money, I would have spent the extra £600 on the 2.0 SE...

I had the 1.5 dci megane, it wasn't too bad, bit sluggish but the best bit was £30 per year road tax and 50 mpg round town and plenty more out of town.

It's a dwarf that lives in the spare wheel well. Unhooks the trailer when you need to turn it round.
