K1 going...Being replaced with..

[Kevo]

As above the time has come to swap the k1, i have had it from new so just under 2 years, it has never let me down and still looks as good as the day i brought it....

Anyway will still be about checking on the new seat stuff..

Ps being replaced with an S3 sportback...Not decided what coulour yet need to confirm this

 

[2zeroalpha]

Nice one, I get the strange feeling you'll enjoy that ...

Hoping so, it was a choice between this and the new gti, although the s3 is a little old now still thought it was the better option.

 

[2zeroalpha]

Well in my case it was time to go awd and I don't think I will regret it once I get on modding. You got any plans for yours?

 

[Kevo]

Don't know really, i will take a look at revo website now to see what it will get

i have missed the awd since leaving the r32 so should be well happy, also the audi interiors are just so nice

 

[Kevo]

Just looking on revo it says it takes the torque from 258 to 310, now i just checked the s3 booklet and it is 350 as standard.

One is probably nm and the other ft/lb.

 

[kezFR07]

Blimy you've had more cars than hot dinners , love an s3 think they're classy but still sporty you know

 

[andycupra]

sportback? oh you mean the s3 people carrier.

Yeh thats the one mate, you know the ones for people with things to carry around..............

[2zeroalpha]

Trust me, you just need a bench in the rear that's all...

good response! (sadly sister couldnt say the same..)

 

[Poverty]

Good choice is it with the DSG?

Was in audi the other day and what surprised me with the sportback is that it seems to have less room in the rear for occupants than the k1

 

[2zeroalpha]

You're right, there is less room. Interestingly we hitched a ride in an A4 S-line the other day and Mrs 2zero sid there was sod all room in the back of that compared with the k1. Petrol head wife and all that....

I remember Irfan proudly boasting that someone had chopped in an R32 for a Candy K1, that made me smile. Good luck with the Sportback, nice kit.

The 3 door has poor rear room and a crap boot. Every time we go on holiday I have to put the rear seats down for to carry two medium cases.

Carrying stuff aside, you'll enjoy it.

 

[S2TTB]

Excellent choice,

really like the sportbacks over the 3 doors... Red and white seem to set them off a treat. With white being that common though i'd prob go for the bright red.. think its misano? or if you have the extra cash for an "exclusive " paint job then;

Suzuka grey

Java Green

or if u want sumthing lesss in your face..

purple Yum

Yeh that was me!!!

I hated my A3 although it was a diesel, it was black with the alloy roof rails ... it was also known as the hearse at work ......

Audi build quality / sound deadening is far better than Seat, but that is why they are weight more.
