Questions regarding options

[Bit_evl]

First five hundred run-in miles have shown something in the region of 20-21 mpg with a medium soft style and nothing over 100(k)ph officer - honest. It will probably loosen up but I am not expecting to see over 23-25 if gentle given the feel of it so far. Sub 20 in a bad mood.

While I was running it in i got about 22mpg. Since then I haven't really checked often but I think it was low teens and that wasn't even caning it as rarely get a chance to floor it.

Audi Connect is great for me. Google maps is much more useful and than the normal map and won't need updating like normal maps as it is generally quite well maintained and up to date most of the time.
Also as mentioned, the wifi hotspot in the car is useful for the kids with their ipads or other devices that need wifi and even with the with and her phone, it works quicker due to having better reception than the 4g being recevied on her phone in the car. Another feature is that I can click a button on my PC at home or mobile phone to send a destination from google maps to the car for sat nav directions later.
I don't know why it has anything to do with your iphone other than to connect to your phone to make a phone call? Other than that it doesn't need your phone. I don't even have mine connected as I don't like talking on the phone when driving.
I bought a load of 4g EE SIM cards loaded with 6gb of data for £15 from amazon that last up to 3 months each for use with in the car.

ORDER PLACED!

I opted for the Performance Edition in Sepang Blue, although I may change that to Ascari when I see a sample.
Advanced Parking Pack
Heated Steering Wheel
Pano Roof
Heated rear seats
Advanced Parking Pack
I may add Audi Connect....

CarWow service was superb, but local dealer has very closely matched it and has been superb! (Poole Audi)

Can't Wait!

Thanks for your input guys.

Congrats! I got talked out of the heated steering wheel on here; let's see how often you change the spec before it's locked!

If i opted for blue, i'd defo go for the unique Ascari blue. Sepang is a very nice colour but the fact Ascari is specfic to the PE would make the difference for me.

[HDPete]

That's exactly my thinking.... it may enhance the residual value on the PE...
Have you seen the Ascari blue anywhere? I can't seem to find any decent photos that aren't artificially enhanced.

[MikeFish]

I like the idea of a heated steering wheel, but I couldn't have a round steering wheel again, so I went for the flat bottomed one instead.

Congrats; I think I prefer Sepang over the ascari blue although ascari will obviously be rarer.

I think there needs to be a realistic view on residuals. PE or not they are going to be pretty awful given discounts and volume being shifted. PE is not a limited run so it may or may not have a slightly higher residual value at three years.

Congrats.

Can't believe you have got decent service off Poole Audi! they have always been horrific in my (and others) experience. they've obviously changed for the better.

[HDPete]

Thanks.

The specific individual has worked extremely hard for me, often running finance figures at 10pm from his personal email. A real gem.

[MikeFish]

What wheels / colour did you go for?
And which seats? Blue carbon interior trim?

[HDPete]

Wheels: 21” x 9.5J ‘5-V-spoke’ star design black-gloss alloy wheels with 285/30 R21 tyres

One I drove had heated round steering wheel.

Awful thing....not even a RS6 badge on it....looks like a S line diesel wheel...

Yes, I agree. It is the main interface between driver and car so I'd rather it looked nice than felt warm.

Mine has heated wheel and has an rs6 badge on it.

I think there was a difference between pre and post facelift wheels.
