It may be named after a road to Slough, but it’s awesome

Here is my personal transportation this weekend, courtesy of Audi. ‘Fire up the Quattro!’
Not bad, and miles better than the A4 1·8 front-wheel-drive model I sampled last year. The power is certainly there, as is the grip, which solves two issues I had with the other B8 Audi I drove. The chassis feels very well balanced and can handle the power—something I really liked about the A5 and S5 models, which are on the same platform.

It should be fun driving this around tomorrow to five appointments.
This is an S-Line model, which accounts for those lovely alloys. However, with a name like that, I kept wanting to crack the old joke about a Hen-Line model being sold in the Czech Republic.

My ass is cold but at least I have sat-nav

Audi A4 1·8T

Got this baby till Monday. First time I played with sat-nav in New Zealand and it is surprisingly accurate. Without the ass-warmers, I mean, seat warmers, and heavier steering you kind of feel you are taking a step down from the A5 with the S-Line pack, but the sat-nav partly makes up for it. Quite sprightly for a 1·8 and better than the previous BMW 320i, though to be fair I need to compare it with the latest model. Easily better than the Mercedes-Benz C200K in terms of the gearbox (eight speeds in this sucker) but that heavy steering is a surprise. Full review in Lucire later.
