yes the 6 is heaver by 30 kilos but the 6 is a stronger built in the suspension and  has better shock and torsion bars ,ive had both and the six handles better and leaves the 4 in its wake  [thumbsup] i dig up some pix , the 4 i built up from the ground looked better tho cheers bazz

What you need is an F250 ,it will do all you ask of it plus more , even burn off some of these you speak of .

Pm mostro900, can't recall which alfa he has, perhaps a 156 rather than a 159

The 3.0 tdi is a sweet motor, also went though this a year ago or so, and ended up in realizing that the fozzie is ok for now.

I ended up at the a4 quattro 3.0 tdi, it started with m3's and rs4's! Ask Matty - he rode though my ordeal and tempted me along the way!
yep, got the V6 156.
beautiful to drive. Italian electrics, which just means warning lights go on randomly, but not much else. I'd love to get a more practical car(ie. 4WD for camping, etc.), but I love my 156.

I think Tricolore summed it up pretty succinctly...

Now that my studies have finished I'm back on the hunt for the new car.

I had decided that the A4 and Alfa were just a little too much money. So I was looking for a Liberty GT Spec B, or STI.
Unfortunately I haven't found one to drive yet.

Yesterday, a friend and I just happened to be at the Audi shop. Next thing I know, I'm tearing around some country roads near Evandale, in this...

OH_MY_GOD  :o

I liked the diesel engine, but it's got nothing on the petrol. And the handling, the handling  [drool]

Unfortunately it's about 20K more than I wan't to spend...

I'd never paid enough attention to Audis to notice.

MMM.... very nice cars.

  I've been giving some thought to Mecedes C200 Kompressor Sports (02-03) thought it would be a nice drive for the wife.

  Anyone know any problems with them or quirks that I should be made aware of?

Mick drove the 2011 c200 by sheer luck in January. A very nice car indeed thou the motor was only a 1.8 turbo. If it's any reflection you see people driving mercs when there 20 years old cause thy just cant part with their comfy reliable car.

Audi A4s are boring.  Not sure what you're looking for in a car (power, lux, reliability, looks)?

But  I've got a 2007 Liberty GT Spec B manual in dark grey with just over 75000Km on the odo.

It's currently running on Volk Racing TE-37 forged alloy 18 inch wheels in gunmetal and Pilotsport 3 rubber.

PM sent, PM me if you're interested.  ps - I'm in the ACT.

Reason for selling: can't justify a fast bike AND a fast car (planning on a new bike when I go onto a full lic.) as I already maintain a small car for the missus and might possibly keep my 250 as a commuter.
