Re: Audi Driver Magazine RS4 special issue inc. B8 road test

I hope that the objectivity is improved. I used to buy it but found the articles far too complimentary and completely unbalanced.

Re: The NEW S3

SB 'out' now as well. Mind you can't get one for about nine months. Loads of manufacturers seem to do this now.

Re: Suspension Issues

Real shame, mind it would not be an RS4 without suspension issues. I wonder if it is an issue on cars with and without DRC?

Re: Dealer C7 RS6 Confirmation!!

Magnetic ride is a Volkswagen technology, used on the group cars (a3/TT) and as the R8 is topographically similar to the TT, then it was easier to use it too. A4 upwards are on Audi platforms, hence DRC and adaptive air ride. Not mag. I thought that MR was owned by a company called Sachs who then l...

Re: RS6 C7 UK spec

I am a little out of date with this but I was disappointed when Audi put air suspension on the S6/S7 and then they put it on the RS6. I know that technology has moved on but air suspension was pants on the D3 A8 in my experience of owning a Sport and then an SE. I even put an MTM controller on the l...

Re: Harris sums it up!

The S6 looks awesome in terms of spec and performance. I specced one on th configurator and it came to 76k though. Won't handle as well as the RS4 though. The gadgets make up for it though as well as tuning potential. Agree. Personally having owned two A8s and having put the MTM handling kit on the...

RS6 price list please

In the process of buying one of the launch cars on an 08 plate. Does anyone have a pdf of the price list from the time so that I can see what bits are standard? Ta

Re: And it's goodbye from him

Prices of all heavy metal stuff like RS6s have firmed over the last six months - dealers don't want to discount. It remains to be seen if fuel price rises begin to reverse this.

Re: And it's goodbye from him

Ta. It was your car - the reg number matches. They were asking £52,450 FWIW. Obviously did not hang around!

Re: And it's goodbye from him

Think I tried to buy your car - Mayfair Audi? Anyway, saw it on the used car locator one night, rang the next day, all salesmen were busy but my details were taken and a salesman 'would ring me back'. Still waiting.... Car then disappeared off the locator so someone obviously beat me to it. You woul...

Discounts on an RS5?

Are there any available? Despite the Evo three stars kicking and the economy and the car's price, my two local dealers wold not discount. Anyone having any better look? Also anyone know what the summer's model year change will bring? The A5 came out in 2007 so it's at its mid life stage now. Facelif...

Could not find magnetic ride on the price list. Also surprised that it weighs in 155kg more than my S3 Sportback - STronic and bigger engine but what else?
