Just found out I need to order my new car next week if I want it before Christmas
Its going to be an Audi A5 but im struggling with understanding the spec as I dont do car things.
Quattro? - Is this some 4 wheel drive malarky? I seem to remember saying I should make sure it was a Quattro??? Is this good advice?
MultiwultiTiptronic??? What the hell is this about? Is it to do with the gears? Should I be interested, I just want a manual car!
Help!
Any other advice welcomed

Quattro basically means it would be Four Wheel Drive rather than it being Forward Wheel Drive Multi Tiptronic is bascially an Automatic Gearbox with the Option to drive the Car Semi-Automatic with Flappy Paddles behind the Steering Wheel which you need to use when you want to change gear. Just go into the Showroom and tell them you want a manual gearbox, not a Tiptronic nor a DSG gearbox (Trust me you don't want to ask what DSG is.) Any other questions PM me as I know Audis pretty well. |

Just make sure it's got front and rear parking sensors.
Everything else is irrelevant for you mate.

Seriously though.
Get the quattro. Much better than front wheel drive.
Make sure you get the sport model. The other one looks ghey.
Make sure you get 19" wheels. The others look ghey.

The very last hand of the night goes to Dewi James, who finds ACES and talks Raymond O’Mahoney into calling his all-in preflop bet of 15k. “If I had AQ, I’d call!” says Dewi. Raymond calls holding pocket 66’s.

Do we actually have some reason behind this? Obv you like you BMW's but unless you can give me a valid reason I wont be changing my mind. Had a 320 coupe for the last two years and really liked it, apart from when the tyre fell off the wheel at 100mph. Just felt like a change. |

Yeah wasnt the happiest day of my life, the man at Kwik-Fit said 'WTF, I have never seen one do this, you must have been doin some' If I'd listened to Matt we would have been dead, when I thought something was wrong he said 'it's fine, just a dodgy bit of road' |
