2.2 i-CTDi

LOVES the expensive diesel though, doesnt drive like a diesel...more like a petrol.
Lacks grunt below 1k unless its on BP Ultimate.

Its the Executive model, so its got Climate control, sat nav, 6 disc changer, electric heated leather seats and electric tailgate.

very nice! i thought you got this ages ago.

LOL of course it lacks grunt below 1k!! you shouldnt be driving around much below 1500rpm, your putting serious strain on the crank.

I dont know what the Honda engines are like but never really need to go over 2krpm in the Audi.

Ive had it a couple of months, but this is the first time ive been bothered to take photies.

My Delica runs around all day sub 1k, as do the more traditional diesels ive driven.  This is the first modern lump.
Certainly quiet enough and gives Audi drivers a shock when the big H is coming up behind them.

Huge? looks about average to me, just a bit of a rear overhang.. then again my everyday ride isnt exactly average sized either so maybe im used to it

Cool, dads does not have the cruise control as its automatic (more norm then manual here) and we cant change the clock so if you can find out what buttons you press that will be ace. It also has email etc but of course all in japanese, lol.

Also, do you have the sat nav dvd drive below?
