Pastures new

Post by Afsimba » Fri Mar 17, 2017 7:40 pm

So after two and a half years it's looking like the cars traded for a c7 Rs6 it was never my intention to move on so soon or I would never have paid for the 5 yr warranty love the colour of my nogaro the sound of the capristo and just the roar of it starting ! No reportable issues whatsoever and think if it hadn't been for lack of midrange power I would have kept it for the forseable ! Hopefully the 6 will be the thrill I'm looking for !!! We shall see hope the garage finds it a good home be sorry to see it go really hope it's not a big regret :nogarors4:

Yeah driven a 64 plate I nearly bought it's not brand new it's a 65 plate with 6k on it glacier white black optics pan roof black insert 21s it's not mega spec but most options wasted on me with the 100 miles I do a week sometimes it doesn't move for weeks ! Minute I started looking I couldn't let it go know they're very fast but they do fast undramaticly in my brief experience prob stick a milly on it

100 miles a week?! Seriously? Why buy into such depreciation?

Think there's lots of people do around 6000 miles a year who knows might like it enough to keep

Nowt wrong with 100 miles a week. I only did about 5k a year in my S4. Owned it along side my 205, rarely took a car to work, plus sometimes had keys available to A3 if doing a long boring tedious journey

Far better to do 100 miles a weekend with the V8 singing than 100-200 miles during the weekdays stuck in rush hour traffic imo. One could even argue the latter is more of a waste!

Back on topic, the RS6 sounds like a belter! Glacier is far nicer than Ibis. Wrekka had an early C7 in Suzuka with Milltek, plus also I think black optics, looked awesome!

Hadnt noticed any real wayward handling but it's not been driven hard ! And then got home buzzed up the garage door and ping DO NOT DRIVE !!! Steering defective weighs a ton and hard,y moves roadside assist couldn't clear code not that they have proper Vag Com and it's gonna have to go into Audi locally before I can trade it ! Kiss of death me saying had now issues couldn't write the script
