Picked up the RS4 yesterday

After an almost 10 month wait I picked the car the other day.

On the whole I love it, especially the Sonoma green colour. Unfortunately it’s spent more time parked at the airport then in my garage, but early morning blasts to the airport was one of things I was most looking forward to....

What I feel lets it down it some of the technology in the cabin, if feels a generation behind our other main car, a 2017 VW Tiguan. The 4 way cameras are much worse, Car Play sucks, to do even some basic things means going into 6 sub menus etc.

But the drive and performance more than makes up for it, drove it 450km home, partly through a storm and it was fantastic.
NZ models came pretty loaded with kit, I added the following:
20” milled wheels
Sunroof
Sports diff
Carbon inlays
Black pack
Forgot to spec the black mirror caps, but the silver ones are growing on me...

Think I’ll be keeping this for a while :biggrin3:

I live in Wellington, but didn't use the local dealer.

I was looking to order one shortly but guess that on hold now .... been wanting since 99 so guess can wait longer.. Glad it finally arrived, must have been wondering if even existed. Will look out for it, good call on colour

Congrats and nice colour choice. I haven’t yet seen any green ones here on the NZ roads. Have had mine a year now, and still loving it. Drove Tauranga-Gisborne-return earlier this week in the wet, and it was the perfect car for that relentlessly twisty road :)

Sorry didn’t want to make you nervous, I’m sure Audi would only sell A1 car mechanically, it’s just the Swirl marks on the paint work that I would be amazed if it didn’t have them as i’M sure they don’t care too much in the washing department.
