So then, what car are you buying next?

Not sure which is the coolest Martin, the Audi or the Teddy?!!! Superb!
I like the winter wheels on the BM too, pretty swish 

Thanks Andy. Hope your enjoying the new mk7 mate.  The A1 experience thus far has got m fancying an S3 in a couple of years time. Would be the 3dr though as I'm not a fan of the sportback. I'm still loving the BM but it feels a little to refined to really excite me. Test drove the M135i the other day and felt the same.

A1 looks great.  Good to hear there are some quality dealers around.

Agreed that is a cracking looking A1, lucky lady

The mk7 drives really well but I think you'd find it the same as the BM, the refinement kills the thrills and the throttle pedal feels like its attached by a bit of elastic as there's no mechanical feel at all just like 99% of modern cars - they achieve some pretty impressive performance but just don't feel like they do!
I'm still using my 16 year old Ibiza for 90% of my driving as it's far more fun to drive with half the power and torque!!

Anybody fancy a BMW M135i on a lease hire for £260 per month over 2 years? That's silly money - £7500 over the term - it'll depreciate more than that!!!

Sad isnt it. I was driving an alfa 33 16v last night and it felt so alive compared to modern cars.
Ive been saying for ages modern cars are borring and its only when you realise by comparing back to back that basically you have got use to them been slowly diluted and brainwashed into thinking there better.
Yes most modern cars are faster and safer but there so detached and slow reacting. Or in otherwords Borring..

Is that for real! It seems a pretty good deal.

Any deposit to put down, on my phone at no so can't see details!

But it still looks...well...meh.

Apart from Xenons and the M sport styling it's not massively specced. All these lease deals look appealing on the face of it but then you have to stick to the mileage limit.

As soon as you add nav/leather and higher mileage watch the price go to £400+ pcm and then you have nothing at the end of the agreement. That's a mediocre deal...
