If you want one of them, then get one of these: Highlights: ALPINA AutomobilesOriginally posted by PurpleGorilla View PostDo they do a tuned diesel?
My last car was the B3 Biturbo, bloody excellent and would have bought a new one apart from the nearly a year waiting. It did 240,000km in 7 years and was only in the garage once for a Lambda sensor to be replaced.“Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.”Comment

It's probably not exactly what you're looking for, but I took delivery of a shiny new Octavia VRS last week and I'm very impressed. For £25k you get a lot of car with basically no badge markup. I used to have an A3 S-Line and I think the interior is on par, and the A3 was £5k+ more, for a smaller car with way fewer toys.
This is a short term lease so I didn't bother going to look at them (Just picked the quickest, biggest car I could for the monthly price I wanted) - but I did a few years back and they've really upped their game.
You could get a 64 plate which barely any mileage for the money you're looking at. In fact, this one is identical to mine:

There is a lot to like about the Octy vrs. But the fake exhaust is a bit naff and I really wish the hadn't done that. I think the petrol has it hooked up both sides but not the diesel...Originally posted by vwdan View PostIt's probably not exactly what you're looking for, but I took delivery of a shiny new Octavia VRS last week and I'm very impressed.

VAG seem obsessed with pipes on each side (even in this case where they are not). Maybe it shaves a bit off their emissions?Last edited by PurpleGorilla; 5 October 2015, 15:40.Comment

This. Took a ride in my friend's company VRS a while ago. Lovely interior & very well appointed. Fast. Frighteningly so.Originally posted by vwdan View PostIt's probably not exactly what you're looking for, but I took delivery of a shiny new Octavia VRS last week and I'm very impressed.

I'd never have an Audi due to safety concerns. Drive a car that is not fitted with mirrors or indicators? No thank you.Comment
