I caught it Pete. Brief is a good word to describe it. Ultimatly it was about a fastest track time, but i would have liked to hear a little more about each car.

The S4 had ADS, did it have the sports diff, my guess was yes, as it looked a lot more compossed than my car ever feels. I guess that could have been Tiff's driving though.

As for using a grey S4 on standard 18"'s against a lovely blue VXR..............FAIL!

Still happy with my choice though. How is your car treating you?

[Pete.S]

Couldn't tell if his had the sport diff, very surprised he of all people didn't mention the option so maybe it didn't.

Mine's been great ta, other than the squeaking brakes which are REALLY starting to p*ss me off, apparently still no fix other than to swap from OEM pads which I don't want to do as the performance of the originals is superb. There's hundreds of complaints about this on the US forums too and I'm finding it very hard to believe Audi have not addressed this properly yet on a 40k motor

How's yours?

All good here to in the main.

My brakes have squeaked once sinse the temperature started to drop. Didnt realise how loud it actually is until i had the window open the once....

My biggest gripes are that i forgot to add the sports diff and the poor quality of the B&O system when on normal radio compared to a CD or mp3 track. Should have added DAB.....doh.

Gobsmacked when I watched it and realised it was THE car I'd bought. One careful owner (and VBH has sat in it....)
