Agreed, it's defo not a positive, I just thought it was a strong word..! Mine is less than 12 months old and I understand I had the first one in the UK so I'm not over the moon...but caveat emptor, cars get updated and I knew the current A5 shape was getting a bit long in the tooth, so it's not unex...

And the discount for this means 'plummet' does it? Ho ho ho.

Because? Isn't it the same with all A5s as they have all had the facelift? All they did was change the lights & the steering wheel. RS5s aren't suddenly going to plummet in value, it's the same car.

My dealer told me that production of the RS5 stops for good in 12 weeks for good. If it's true, keeps it exclusive!

Congrats Mr Binder. I look forward to the photos.

So hows the driving experience been thus far? So far I've done 3,000 miles including one trip from London to Stranraer & I struggle to fault it. I have read most of the magazine articles with interest and some I agree with and some less so. It isn't as fast as a GTR (obviously) and I think it does ...

Not worth the cash at >£60K! The black coupe at ADI was £67K.

Have a go in a GTR back to back and see what you should spend your money on.

GTR faster but too tacky for me. Have you driven both?

Sports exhaust is black (not really matt). Ordinary exhaust is chrome.

Looking forward to pics of yours. I did 430 miles yesterday at 23mpg. Not bad I thought..

OK after all that I have amended the order to Phantom Black. I am test driving an RS5 at my Audi dealer on 16th Oct - and they have a Panther Black TTS in stock to check out and see if that is nicer than the Phantom. My current RS4 is Phantom..... Good choice. There's a blue one at Doncaster Audi. ...

Sure. I'll pm you.

Got it wrong, the four settings are in Drive select are:

Engine/gearbox (& consequently exhaust)
Steering
Suspension
Sports differential

I need to read the manual properly..

It looks superb GTBoy. I bet you cant stop grining? COuld I ask a couple of questions? I drove one at the weekend that had dynamis steering and quite frankly it felt like I was driving a playstation game, I noticed that you dont have this, what is the steering like? The car I drove also had a sport...

I would agree that it looks much better in the flesh. Squat and muscular. I think it must have been tricky to balance the styling without going too over the top. The wheels are the first thing you notice, both the diameter and the width. The sports exhaust doesn't seem too loud actually, but then I ...
