Finally taken delivery

Post by grum71 » Fri Jan 14, 2011 8:33 pm

Hi Chaps, Thought I'd post in the RS5 forum (I have a B6 S4 avant as my daily runner) to announce, after ordering in April 2010 and confirmed delivery for October that I collected the car this morning.

Sepang blue, black leather with [the must have] 20" alloys.

1st impressions:

A lot nicer ride than than the M3 and Datsun GTR

Smooth power delivery

Amazing cabin (especially the centre console that looks like it's been taken from a fighter jet)

Goes well when the noisy pedal is pressed (within reason as I'm taking it 'easy' until it has some miles under it's belt).

Looking forward to more updates and any helpful/useful tips, hints and findings as I have done with the S4.

Latest weekend toy: 2011 Nissan GTR

Are they doing a Cab RS5 in the future? Now that would be nice.

I doubt they will do a cab or sportback, I believe Audi are marking RS boundaries for each model, but as usual they are fickle and will probably change their minds...
RS3 8P 2013 Phantom Black with Ally Pack and Black Optics Grille | LED Interior and number plate lights - GONE :(
RS4 B7 2006 Phantom Black with Titan alloys and mirrors - GONE :(

Stunning car, what do people think of Sepang without the Black style pack?
