I guess I won't be messing about with this hack when I get my 250F-Sport next mth!

Hey guys, just wondering does it bother you that the passenger seatbelt alert is on the driver side?

I have been contemplating on this but that little light on the wrong side kinda puts me off.

Isn't it meant to notify the driver, so that he/she can tell (off) the passenger? For a passenger to sit in a (moving) car, there had better be someone responsible at the wheel!

Hi HJC

Good to know you've found the discussion useful! $56k was what I was quoted by the car broker for the X, but I decided on F-Sport at a grand more. I'll be taking delivery next mth (got alternate transport at the mo).

On the parking sensors, I'm wondering if you can ask the Dealer whether it can be manually disabled, after all yr X is equipped with a Reverse camera. imho the tow bar on its own shouldn't interfere with the sensor, but mounting a bicycle or 2 certainly would.

A scuff plate aka kick plate is that extra flat panel affixed to the door sill, ostensibly to protect from scratching (from shoe heels) the plastic on entering/exiting, but actually it's just eye candy.

If you shop, you will most times get a better deal yourself than from a car broker due to the fee that most of them charge the dealer.

Thanks.

I doubt I could, and I've tried. $57k for my F-Sport, and it's coming in from Sydney.

Have just placed an order for a IS250F-Sport. Decided on this model due to heavy discounting, with emergence of the X-badge. Btw if you search hard enough (ie. car broker, I use http://www.aussiecarbrokers.com.au/), a X-badge can be had for $56k Driveaway in VIC.

Go for the IS250 or even a IS350. You won't be disappointed

Thanks imoo6170. Pretty set on a new IS250X (limited edition). Just sorting out finances (novated lease vs loan), and selling off my A3TQ.

Hi

Just joined. Currently drive a '09 Audi A3TFSI Quattro. Was eyeing the Bimmer 123D & 320D, but am leaning toward the IS250.

Cheers
