    The difference

    In my pursuit for a new car that I absolutely don’t need, I decided that my time with Renault has now passed.

    After trying with a THIRD dealer, to get the new Renault Clio 20th Edition, and yet again getting no response I realised that it was time to move on. So, no more Renaults for me.

    With that out the way I started looking around for other cool ve-hicles. Since my family have been Audi crazy for the past 15 years I thought it was time I contacted an Audi dealer.

    So I sent a mail to Audi Centre Cape Town, asking about prices for new and second hand Audi S3’s. Within in 2 minutes of sending the email I got a call from the dealer. In fact I think 2 minutes is a bit of an understatement, it felt more like 30 seconds.

    Less than a few hours after sending the mail and speaking to the dealer about different models and options, a test drive was organised for me the very next day.

    Upon arrival the car was ready and waiting with the keys handed to me, instead of the dealer taking me around the block - ala Renault. I was told I could drive it as long as I needed to and I definitely enjoyed the experience.

    And that is the difference. Going the extra mile and just giving a damn. The experience I have had with Audi cannot be more of a contrast than that I recently had with Renault. I think my next car will be an S3 :)
