Just Collected My Baby AMG

Real Thing · 09-18-2013, 02:31 PM

Sold the RS3 couple of Months Back and collected it's replacement yesterday had considered the M135i but think it must be a sign of getter older as I now prefer the safety/Grip of 4WD.

Lovely Motor.

You can even buy A45 AMG plate for it if you fancy. Plate is up for auction at the next DVLA event.

Vervain · 09-18-2013, 03:03 PM

Congrats!!! It looks amazing.

How does it compare to the RS3 and your TT-RS plus?

LexS · 09-18-2013, 03:13 PM

Good work dude! Nice car to match what looks like a lovely home

Thanks for the heads up although I had seen it advertised in the DVLA Program (£900 Reserve but wouldn't be surprised if it makes nearer £4K)
Got my own PP on the Car.

Only done 100 Mile in it so difficult to compare yet although 1 criticism is there Sat/Nav System looks more heath robinson than a Tom Tom stuck on the Dash

Alex.J · 09-18-2013, 03:48 PM

Looks a cracking car.

Have been reading up on these recently!

How are you finding it?

How's the engine?

Palmnuts · 09-18-2013, 03:50 PM

Yes, that looks good Chris! Money not object, this would have probably been my choice over the M135i so keen to compare the two soon. You should pop round mate!

mowflow · 09-18-2013, 04:35 PM

I'm still amazed at what they got out of a 2l 4 pot. Pretty amazing bit of engineering in a rather pretty package.

If your around at the weekend I'll pop round know you've not got the M135 yet to compare but I have a feeling this one might be a short affair so better let you see it before it's gone

I'll be waiting for a review from you in the near future then

...On a side note, the TT-RS plus is one of my favourite cars. What a monster!

It's a pity that the satnav screen has not been well-received in an otherwise beautiful cabin. The seats are perfection

DanTheManc · 09-18-2013, 05:46 PM

Very nice. Did you go for the performance exhaust? Does it sound throaty with it only being a 4 pot?

lilez19 · 09-18-2013, 06:11 PM

looks nice !

TT-RS is such fun as People don't expect a little Hairdressers Car to out perform most things that is until you get in to Super Car territory and even then I think it takes some Cars by surprise Seats in the Merc are Great but as I'm long in the Body I find the Hard Plastic near the top dig in to my Shoulders when I lean back into them

Yeah got the Performance Exhaust sure it won't be long before I've upset the neighbors

Irnbrukid · 09-19-2013, 09:36 AM

Like these, it looks nice be good to hear your thoughts on it once you've spent more time with it. Whats next on the list then?

eric@helix · 09-19-2013, 09:40 AM

Looks good. Aside from the obvious quality difference, how would you compare the actual driving experience to your R53?

scooba0010 · 09-19-2013, 12:41 PM

Very nice car , thanks for showing it to us looking forward to the write up !

Ajerthan · 09-19-2013, 03:55 PM
