Well done.

[bye bye]

photoshop.....must be

the guantlet has been thrown down.......

[HYFR]

no photoshop

i guarantee you

i left work with 35 miles range, couldnt be bothered to fill up and thought "fcuk it, i'll give it a go!"

[bye bye]

you are still 6 miles off my tank maximum range of 357 miles......

[HYFR]

I'll easily do that

On this tank I drove like a nutter for the first half

It is really impressive on fuel

Shame it handles like a sack of <beep>

[bye bye]

Shame it handles like a sack of <beep>

Harsh but vs. RS4....fair

[Ian_C]

That is remarkable! Dave, how does it handle compared to the B6 S4s you've had? Maybe the sport rear diff and 19s like most of the B8 S4s have would sharpen things up a little. 18s would help economy though compared to 19s. Does it have Audi Drive Select as standard?

[HYFR]

Ok I'm going to blitz your 'range' record

330 miles done on this tank, 45 left on the range and my journey home from work later will be 45miles

@IanC, I IMO the B6 handles way better out of the box, sounds better too. Mines is bog standard thou in terms of performance options, so I dare say it could be improved via ADS etc but then your talking about a very expensive car!

[Ian_C]

Yeah - 19, Sport Diff, ADS, must be grand each?!

[Pete.S]

the B6 handles way better out of the box

Vehemently disagree! But it does sound better

[Ian_C]

What you got - 19, Sport Diff, ADS? 19s by the looks of your avatar.

[Pete.S]

Yea

[HYFR]

In my opinion and done 3,700 miles now ... it does not handle well

it understeer's mahooosively, so you pile aload of speed into a corner expecting it to grip, but instead you get a fat load of body roll and it just runs wide. The handling is really numb with no feel through the wheel at all

now these two huge gripes could be cured with Adaptivity of the suspensions and steering, then it would be a great car

now ... onto the MPG challenge

I tried to beat my own World Record and Hody's range record in one swoop .... I got close on one, but did beat the Range record....

So just to prove the 41mpg wasnt a fluke, exact same journey, this time 10mins quicker !!
