Too bad they only have a 04 model. Honda will have a whole bunch of red Luxury manual 05s as press cars from next month, and they will look sooo much better in a magazine, not to mention handles better on 17s and the fact that Wheels hates space savers.

I had a test drive of the A4 2.0 before I bought the Euro, and I though the A4 was pretty bland. It's slow, steering lack feel, and standard model does not come with much features. On the up side the build quality is supurb and the car looks really classy inside and outside. Fun kicks in with the 1.8T, but would you pay $60K for something just as fast as the 6MT Euro?? I was on the verg of getting the 1.8T (not quattro, cos parents can't drive manual), but couldn't grasp the concept of a FWD, auto, and turbo car :p

Cheers ;)The Euro rims are surprisingly easy to keep clean. Surprisingly little brake dust. I would just use the same car detergeant you use to clean the car - just use a different sponge and never use the "wheel" sponge when cleaning the car the next time - ie once a wheel sponge always a wheel sponge.

I have tried a few special tyre cleaning products but you eventually find yourself with a sponge and scrubbing if you want a really good job.

Red? You mean that crappy beige colour - Milano something?

Is there a proper red on a Euro - ie this Type R red? Now that would make a good media car

This is the Milano red mate. With the same wheels on the 05 model. Will post some pics of the new red car if no one does in the new year.

Hehe, in the review, it says the Euro doesn't have a telescopic steering column adjustment! The reviewer missed out on a valuable feature!

Has anyone got a copy of that comparison. I remember reading that article but that was nearly 5 years ago and Wheels wont answer my emails requesting a copy.
Thanks
