DRC on 2013 Model?

Post by seventeenAPG » Tue Apr 03, 2012 4:05 pm

Hi Giys,
I am thinking of selling my 2012 RS5 and I see that DRC is £1700.00 extra on the new model. Am I seeing this right?? And , if so, would the car be better without DRC anyway?

If it is better with it then I would be crazy to sell my current car as it has only 6000 miles.

Nooo!!!! Don't get the new shape it looks hateful, plus my old S5 didn't have DRC and its so much better having a comfort and Dynamic mode... and your RS like mine has done pretty much no millage, so enjoy the much better looking 2012 model :)

Thanks RSDave, I think you are right. The lights etc are better looking on our model than new one. I would have preferred the white line of the new model to be continuous right around the lens.

I checked again on the brochure for the new model and, whilst audi drive select is still there, DRC is now a £1800.00 option on the vehicle. If someone wants the 4 shocks to be joined with oil line and resevoir then this is the additional cost. Oh but you now get sat nav std for free :/
