It looks miles better in the metal than pictures. A big thank you to drybeer / Andrew for sourcing the vehicle and arranging everything, a smooth and pain free process. Pity his franchise manager was a bit stingy on the extras coming with the car especially when he didn't have a p/x to consider anymore but drybeer did manage to bag a load liner, rubber mats and a tank of V-Power on top of everything else on the day.
Not really tested it much, just the trip home and was taking it easy. Initial impressions are the Conti's are noisy but they'll do, the front wheels look chunkier than the rears and s-tronic will take getting used to on the ratios to get the best out of the engine but when you do there is decent grunt there even with so few miles on the clock. I was right though it did sound muted even in sport mode so on the way home made a scheduled pit stop to Revolution to have the secondary cat bypass and Pipercross filter done in less than an hour. 90 miles in and only a1/4 tank used, all good comments from the family so they are happy and ironically more speace in the rear for the kids than the RS4.
Will give it time to break in, only other mod this side of Xmas will be ventureshield on the front end. And guess what, squeeky brakes. But then they need bedding in properly so I'll do that and then see what is what as I have only been doing light braking which probably has just shined them up rather then bedding them in. But so far enjoying it but still feel like I'm cheating on my RS4.
