again, thanks for your comments guys, will have owned the car 1 week on friday, all I can say is its fantastic.
Very suprised at the power delivery difference from the S4 despite "similar" engines. The S4 has it low down while the RS4 is all about the top end !
I have "baited" a Carrera 4s but he didnt want to play, so I havent really despatched anything worth mentioning yet.
I love the looks, and the TV is a novelty in a car for me, my dad got back from hols last night and thought I as mad to spend 22.5k on a 5/6 year old car with 98k on the clock. This is until I took him out in it ! Needless to say he wants one now
I am worried about the fuel consumption, My 1st tank from empty was 230 miles, Im gonna try and drive it smoothly for the next few tanks to see what it is capable of, I have seen an indicated 345 on the DIS when driving properly but we'll see. Very worried a remap is going to make it even worse
Best car I've ever owned, although my car history is only vr6, s4, rs4.
I have an alacantara steering wheel, private plate, awe dts, short shift and remap all arranged with AmD, its just finding the time to get up there and get it done.
Insurance I think is pretty good, 700 fully comp for a 25 year old with 2 years no claims (with elephant) My 1st year with the S4 was 1600 so its going down slowly !
