Some (still bad) pics of my new RS4

Post by 535dboy » Mon Dec 24, 2012 3:03 pm

Hi Folks

Sorry weather has been so bad I've not managed to put any decents pics up yet.

I've now done 600 miles (which means I can now rev to 7k!) having done a trip to the inlaws family farm. Unfortunately this resulted in the car becoming caked in mud and probably worse (cattle farm!)

Other than it being noticeably smaller than the X5 for family jaunts away I am so far very happy with it.

The ride (in comfort) is probably a bit better than my X5 was and I have the individual setting in drive select set to dynamic for everything but the suspension

Averaged high 21s on the way back yesterday which included a lot of stop start around stone henge and giving it some welly on the clear bits - I don't think the x5 would have been loads better

Anyway here are some more pics but unfortunately the light has not been good to get any decent ones

Doesnt look like a Q5S in these pics so they are better!
I love the way it looks from the rear...arches look great
Good choice on silver leather, very classy

I think if I go for one of these its got to be Prism Silver or Suzuka Grey

Thanks Dave

I think this colour shows the arches off well, I think they got lost with the white on the ones I've seen, not sure how Suzuka would work.

Still think prism is awesome and as you know these pics don't show off the sepang that well

Love the way it looks sat on its haunches stationary. Looks sleek but nice and aggressive. Think it is defo one of those that pictures don't do justice.

What does it feel like when you look at it in the flesh?

Funnily enough a B7 parked next to it today - I would have felt to much of a knob taking a picture of them together but I think you would be surprised !

Car looks good in blue, I drove past a black one today and it looked very dull, not special at all, good luck with the seats if you have kids :shock:

It's a slight concern but I will just have to keep on top of it!

I've had so many black interiors I really wanted a change

We took a brave pill with the Mrs' interior too back in May and that doesn't look dirty at all yet
