Some of these are really down to preference. Having had advanced key I wouldn't want to be without it and it is my must have list. Unfortunately it eliminates a lot of used examples.Graeme4130 wrote:1) buckets definitely and VSpokes/sports pack

Re: Spec' Savers
RS cars don't have start/stop. Although it would be awesome to hear the RS start up more often.

Re: Spec' Savers
Crappest thing ever with fat tyres as if you like to give the wheel a quick turn before pulling away from a junction, you can't as there's no power steering without engine

Re: Spec' Savers
In my previous S cars I more often than not turned it off once the novelty wore off as it did get bloody annoying; especially when coming to a junction.

Eh !?! ......I did not know that .
So no start stop in my new RS 4

I actually like the functionality in my S5 .......press the brake lightly and it doesn't kick in , press it firmly and it does
