Time for a change

[Wilko]

So, after 2 and a half years, and with our second baby due within the month, I decided the RS4 was feeling a bit dated and it was time for a change.

After a bit if research I thought a new S4 Avant would be the best bet, so I tracked down a friendly Audi Dealer and arranged a test drive. I must say the Supercharged V6 mates well with the 7 Speed Auto and I was impressed with the performance, though it's not quite RS4 as standard, and the car feels much more up to date than the B7 cabin.

Anyway, back in the dealership a deal was struck, including 2 years free servicing, but we couldn't get where I needed to be for a brand new S4. So the B7 is going and I pick up an 8 month old B8 on Friday, fortunately for me it comes with the latest version of Audi's high revving V8! When it came to it I couldn't walk away from the RS's, but I think Daytona Grey will make a nice change.

Nice 8 incher.

I still prefer the older, more involving 7 incher. It is all the co.... car you will ever need.

Love it. Me want. Bitch.

Bam, it's not the size of the nail, it's the size of the hammer that counts!

The B7 was a cracking car, just started to feel a bit dated, and I have to say I'm well impressed with the B8.

Looks great! You like the auto box as opposed to the b7 manual?

[Wilko]

It's different.

The TTS Roadster I had had a similar one so I pretty much knew what I was getting. It definitely improves performance but it is a bit less involving to drive, I haven't done that many miles yet but it's been in the manual mode for most of them, when it hasn't it's been in Sport!

The should have offered a manual option IMHO
