Paint it, cover it, hang your coat over it. Anything but look at that tacky plastic roll bar!
|
 |
Is keyless ignition too much to ask for on a $60k vehicle?
|
 |
It's an Audi, it's quick and the sun shines into it
You've go to love that combination

Awkward trunk needs to be slammed to close properly
|
 |
Gets expensive with options
Useless back seats
Big blind spots when reversing
|
 |
Killer looks
Tight, road hugging chassis enabling excellent handling
All-weather usage
Plenty of gadgets
Something for any budget
Safe and confident when driving hard
