Sold the 2012 and bought a 4 door auto. Really wanted the extra doors and couldn't deal with the jenky 5 speed anymore. I missed the 6 speed in my TDI which was a superb transmission. Decided to go bigger on the suspension and audio this time.

Just past 280000 km no leaks dry as a bone.
Great Build. How are the R8 coils worth the purchase? Do you notice any differences when driving?
