To be honest, I've not driven the plus very much as yet. It looks fantastic and if it's anything like my old C5 RS6 (non-plus) then I'm sure it will be an extremely capable car, I just need to decide what I'm going to use it for - it's not really the sort of car to save for sunny Sundays, but then I wouldn't want to be parking it in Airport/Train car parks either. Difficult to place in the 'stable' at the mo.

I got it as part of a bigger deal involving a few new Audis for our work cars, with us part-ex'ing a load of 3 yr old high end cars. It wasn't that I specifically set out to buy a plus, it just kinda ended up as part of the deal - which as I said earlier, worked out at costing me about 22k after new tyres, warranty, etc. I always missed my old C5 RS4, so a bit of sentimental rubbish probably took a hold too.

As much as I hate to say it, I suppose out of all the cars, the plus will end up being one of the first one's I sell. Unless I can find something to do with it that is :)
