North of Scotland and whiskey makes you spew!!!! What's wrong with you man.............................. Totally agree actually, I drink absolutely anything (inc 85% absinth) but I just can't drink Whisky..

The North of Scotland bit is fine and dandy, just not the whisky! There's a reason why we export most of the stuff!!
Highland Park or Balvenie are the only ones worth even considering (no water lots of ice). Absinth? nah thats for blind dudes who paint pictures of lilies in their garden!!

I have had mine for two weeks, to be honest at the price, i can`t complain about fuel consumption, I would not buy the thing if I couldn`t afford to run it ................. I never understand the fuel consumption concerns,,, but thats just me.

This car has been pretty good, what is most apealing , while also not so much , is the way it is so smooth quiet and laxing down low. I can drive the car like hinda civic, which is great as I don`t have a strong licence, however you really have to give it a boot full to get it to go.... So its a tough one.

The build quality is second to none, and the handling is good ( still understeer when pushed) the best part is the suspension when driving through the city , supresses the bumps well and does not jolt ... I t could be a medium size saloon.

My Bucket seats are awesome, fit my body perfectly and the sound system is great.

No Regrets,, Its great for me as the licence is an issue , otherwise I think I would want a more of a RAW , driving experience, Not too much though .... I`m just being a bit picky.,... The RE MAp maybe the way to go , or drop the vacum lines...

I dunno chief, licence busting capability of an RS4 seems pretty high to me!! I know what you mean about the flexibility though, first second - sixth!

For understeer, you can alter tyre pressures. Not sure what too as you don;t want the back going sloppy either....

Anyone? - I'd be keen to know as well.

I picked mine up last Wednesday and enjoy more each time I drive it. Still running in but Adv 20.6MPG

Have done c500 miles in the first week. Only one word to describe the car - Awesome! only problem is misfire/rough running from cold for first couple of minutes.

You need the latest ECU update to cure that (0080)

Have just had mine a week too now and all I can say is what a car! Just been back to the dealer with a few minor issues and they were fantastic, changed the sat nav screen for me no probs at all, and spent an hour or so discussing the MERITS of re-maps (this was the head technician!)
