Saw an a5 tdi Quattro yesterday

[RanjS8]

In my quest for a diesel went to look at an a5 Quattro diesel yesterday...

It was reasonably high spec with MMI, DRLs, servotronic, 19" alloys and drove reasonably well...but I have been spoilt by my s8...it was a bit tighter in space and i m only 5ft8...as it was a manual there was a clutch but the foot rest seemed to get in the way/ and when I went to check the oil it didn't have a dipstick!!!!

Furthermore when I got the chap to lift the hood I realise how very little I know about diesels....I didn't even know how to take the engine cover off...I figured it pulled off but I didn't want to break anything.

But the car was missing electric seats/ electric folding mirrors and the steering wheel was manual ajustment...which wasn't the end of world and rarely comes with most cars...however after ploughing up the M1 in a torrential downpour in the s8 which was sure footed as could be...I was thinking is this really worth 10k more than mine with 90000 on the clock compared to mine which has just over 100k.....
