Change from RS4 to RS5 done - picked up the RS5 today. Went for the Grey one in the end on spec and the Red car did not 'feel' quite right. Don't know why but I wanted to walk away as soon as I got to the showroom - so I did just that!

So deal done on a Daytona Grey 2011 plate, 43k, B&O, Sunroof, Rotors, Lots of extra's have been ticked, has new tyres.
Needs paint at the front as it looks like its done a lot of motorway miles, but otherwise its in great condition.

Also has an ABT exhaust which is sweeeet!
Thanks to extensive traffic and roadworks through my journey I got 31mpg over 180 miles, beats the 23 I got on the way in the B7.

Initial pic attached, more will follow as I get her sorted to the standard I want. (My kids had been pressing every button hence the spoiler is up, pests!)

Sounds like a great spec and a 'zoorst.
No matter where you go, there you are.

Welcome to the club buddy. It takes a week or two to truly appreciate it over a B7 but I think you will find you prefer it. I know I did :)
