hi there, new to this forum, however not new

[marmite]

On the RS I get anything between 160 - 308 miles per tank ave is 250
I do a 20 mile round trip mostly dual carriage way and sit at 60 - 70 ish traffic dependent..no traffic is a different kettle of fish

I get 20mpg roughly, 90% motorway sitting at 85 by Road Angel. I have a blocked cat and that makes a huge difference it would seem.

does anyone know the situation with audi and full maintenace packs if buying second hand?

Yes, I enquired, but unfortunately the answer is no, if I remember correctly the car has to be less than 1 year old to take out the agreement. Give your local stealer a call and ask for the finance geezer, he'll give you the details.

Don't take any notice of the DIS ladies and gents, its very inacurate... Mine read a nice 21 mpg average, but factually it was nearer 17. Check out here and here

I've driven both, I bought an RS6

Why did you choose the RS6, i would imagine the cayenne is just as quick is it not?

Its not all about speed, or I'd simply buy a lightweight sports car... Is a long time again now, but there were a number of key issues that I remember swayed the decision associated with the whole ownership experience:

Driving feel - was very surprised by how good the cayenne was for such a tank, but the RS6 was much more involving.

Interior was nice in the Cayenne, but exterior of the RS6 simply blew the Porsche away for kerb appeal (Personally I don't think the Porker is as bad as the motoring journals state)

Size of motor... my previous two cars had been two-seaters so going to an RS6 saloon was a big enough step for someone in their 20's (Avant was too cavernous for me so the cayenne was simply gargantuan).

Enviroassasins... rather unfairly considering it all, SUV's get excessively bad press and lets just say other road users are not as courteous to the porker as they are the lord of the rings.

RS6 has almost cult status, those who know, know... those who don't soon learn! I love the fact that its simply mechanical respect, not just a trophy piece like an Aston. Dont care that much about the looks or other peoples opinion, but what a damn good motor it is.

Drives great, practical, respected, award winning cosworth engine, can be used to waft from A to B, can be used to scare you to death, its all things to all men... its a god damn RS6!!!!!

Actually you're right - it's more like 17.5mpg I get. Nice.

I guess that's why it seems so much thirstier than other cars I've run at 23 or 24mpg.
