Re: After 6 months

Looks great, enjoy...! In my opinion, there are different types of people who look for different specs here especially colour. Not looking to offend but I would only personally ever go for dark metallic (i may push to sepang) but one of the main things i like about the B8 is its ability to blend int...

Re: EVO magazine write up - dynamic steering

I can't help feeling that it's all a bit of a gimmick, most of us don't really understand how to set a car up properly in the first place so why don't the engineers (who do know what they're doing) give us the best compromise with a few little add-ons, like exhaust noise and shift speed, to keep us...

Re: Spec' Savers

I agree on go for the spec you want and will use - in my experience (11 audis!) the dealer will never give you more than book trade in if you are getting a decent deal on the next car (they will make out they do by using the allowance on the other end).. I purposely kept the non useful toys clear of...

Re: Mirrors

I have it - it works great for me providing you adjust it . It is part of the convenience pack (seat memory) and not part of the folding/dimming option only.
Not sure if you can vag com it; i doubt it as I think it uses the memory ability .

Re: Without DRC

Same here - I drove a DRC 'all options ticked' car.. I could do without the DRC - on our roads in the UK, it just doesnt work like its intended. Had similar thing on my 911 C4s - used it probably twice !

Re: Newbie here, RS4 ordered

I would forget the tracker - although they do work well !(had my 911c4s trailered away with a knackered waterpump and within 2 minutes, tracker alerted me) - go for the GAP - the insurance will not pay out full invoice price if the car goes so I want that covered for peace of mind plus you can push ...

Re: EVO magazine write up - dynamic steering

I purposely chose 'non sport' as I was warned not to go for the dynamic steering plus I drove both. Personally I am glad I did it but I think in reality, 95% of the people who buy wont be testing the car like journos.

Re: RS4 B8 & Mountain Bikes

I use our Q7 for the bikes usually but have to admit one of the reasons swung me to an avant for the first time was the ability to put a rack on. I have mont blanc bars for the Q and 2 thule carriers - yes the whistle like mad!. Havent tried the cross bars for fit on the RS yet but they do adjust ho...

Re: Autocar - the finest RS model

I assume you have already driven one with the sports pack and couldnt get on with it? I love how kids drop you right in it infront of the Mrs.... I love the drive of the B8 in dynamic mode, I know its not to everyones taste, but my other car is far stiffer so it is still comfortable for me and I ha...

Re: Autocar - the finest RS model

Same here - Loved my B7 but the B8 for me is a more useable everyday car plus the fun!.

Ironically the one car that people kept randomly saying they liked was my S5 !
