Hi all,
After taking a test drive in an RS6 today, I've now decided it will be my next car.
I'm looking for an avant with at least:
Sepang paint
Black leather
Sunroof
Budget is around £25k but can stretch to more for the right car.
So, if you're thinking of selling, please let me know.
Thanks,

Mines up for sale but it's not the right colour unfortunately. Low mileage though and has black leather and sunroof.

Yeah I've seen yours buddy and the car looks like it ticks all the boxes bar the paint colour sadly. Good luck with the sale though.

OK, so after proving to the wife that Mugello is an awesome colour, I'm opening up the search.
I'd consider Sepang, Mugello and white.

Silver Interior went really well with Sepang

I do like Silverstone but doesn't it need a lot of care and attention?
I've had light coloured interiors before and I was constantly cleaning them. Jeans are particularly good at leaving marks behind.

Not great in pics but in the flesh monza is a great colour!

Is Silverstone difficult to keep clean?

Long as you stay on top of the leather don't allow any type of colour transfer to stay on the leather for more than a few days then no - give it a good clean upon purchase then just maintain

I never had much of an issue keeping them clean, that pic was after 5 years of ownership .. TBF I rarely wear jeans, but the Mrs does

What sort of mpg have people achieved on long motorway journeys either here or on the continent please as I'd be interested to see how it compares to my old M5 Touring?

I once got very high 20s and even 30 but on average no more than high teens and possibly 20/22. It's hard driving it on cruise and just felt wrong sat at 70 in the first lane I endured that pain in my oil burner for 4years! But to answer your original question you can achieve some respectable mpg figures if you really try!
