Opel Insignia v MB C180 CGI v Audi A4 v BMW 318i

[Cerano]

Yes. and it works very well even for FWD Audi. Do try it before commenting.

 

Do A4s come with Ipod connectivity standard?

[Relagsingh]

sadly not all 325 come with iDrive..

 

My colleague got a very well maintained 1year old + 323 at ard 90k last year.. very good deal...

 

yr friend made a good move. now 1 to 2 yr old 323s going for 100 odd Ks liao.

[Relagsingh]

ya the 4 rings now are strong, starting to win car awards n targetting the young sporty crowd...TT, A4, A5, Q5...somemore jus a simple MTM upgrade ups the power considerably...

 

not sure abt prices of MTM upgrades done outside cuz i found the prices that PA offered sounds reasonable. maybe they absorb some of the costs to attract buyers.

[Cerano]

its the power of the LEDs

MTM have a direct tie up with AD and outside dealer have gentleman agreement not to touch audi from PA.

[Chinablue]

strange that no one considers SAAB.

i would rather go for Saab 9-3 SportCombi / Opel Insignia

 

 

exclusive is the word, don't you get bored seeing so many C-klass, 3 series, A3 running around?

 

 

[Relagsingh]

C180 CGI 9.0 seconds... if you remove the heavy spare tyre and all that nonsense etc and change to lighter rims, can probably do much better.

 

i remove spare tyre liao... and it's freaking heavyyyy

i see. adding a couple of Ks more to bring it close to 2.0TFSI power is worth it IMO. wun void warranty somemore.

 

haiz... if only brabus or kleemann got tie up with C&C. haha.

I think out of so many AD, only Saab and Audi does it. not sure of others..

yep trans eurokars has been giving their saabs hirsch stage 1 upgrades as deal sweeteners for quite some time already!

but ecu upgrades are not high up on the priority list of say a typical MB buyer i guess. and the standard variety bmw cars are non TC so these upgrades are probably not as commonplace?

but Saab has a bit more to prove first under their new spyker ownership tho i do like their upcoming line up a lot!

sad thing is that buyers in Singapore wants a choice.. and the market here doesn't really favor that, either in term of choosing the items they want in a car and the upgrade of spec.. many a time, they are force to go outside workshop and be slap with a non conformance and rescind of warranty.

nahh

 

the reason is simple market placement.

 

imagine a tuned C180 running at 200bhp and a C250 tuned running at 260bhp?

who will want a more expensive v6 C300 (228bhp) then?

[Relagsingh]

I think out of so many AD, only Saab and Audi does it. not sure of others..

 

Saab?? oh yah hirsch upgrades.

 

Subaru? They do have some prodrive stuff. but no engine upgrades.

 

Ralliart counted? I think they have intercooler kits right?

 

wah. really both of them only sial...

still nobody. now also nobody buy.

 

in fact the mods may improve overall sales. So what less ppl buy C300? got hordes of ppl buying C180 or C200!
