About only bad thing on Integrale is its driving position. You'd need to have long arms and short legs to feel comfortable.

The older ones are ugly and the newer ones are expensive.

second statement is definately true!
don't think they are ugly really? They are good cars though. I would still go for a 3 series mind, so long as you can live with people giving you stick at junctions, heaps of road rage and people just generally thinking you are capitalist filth! |

that's ok, you get treated like a either a dumb blond or a complete hooligan in a clio.
i can't be bothered with an a3, the older ones do look like they fell out of the ugly tree (you can see where it hit the branches on the way down...), and you pay as much for one of those as you do for a 3 series. and you get a lot more car for your money with a 3 series. |

Glad to be of service
 I thoroughly agree about RWD, I'm much more comfortable with it although I think it's more a prefference than anything else. Any time I drive Aly's car, a FWD sports car (oxymoron?) on any twisty bits I'm saying "Front wheel drive, front wheel drive..." the whole time in case i forget and try to do a RWD thing.... |

Nice one Bella! |

Well done bella...
I'm always amazed when people get confused with front and rear wheel drive. It's really quite simple. With FWD you go through the hedge forwards, with RWD you go through it backwards. |
