Feature .....

No real surprise though for most owners I bet.

I also remember an article I read about P1 Supercar Club .... went on to say running a C5 RS6 was the most expensive car on their fleet by some margin .... and they have some real exotica!

What amazes me is why so many owners put up with it for so long.

Not surprised WD not wanting to cover these cars competitively anymore .... when I had WD cover, I made 3k of claim within the 1st 3 months ... and my premium was 56 quid a month! So on that basis it would take them approx. 4.5 yrs to make the money back.

I mean even Audi caught on how unreliable their cars were, just look how much they jacked up the warranty premiums.
