Hello everyone, newbies here

Seriously thinking of swapping my current 2013 FFRR Vogue SE 4.4SDV8 for new C7 RS6. FFRR is a great car but lacks the thrill of a RS6 and after many test drives and reading/watching endless reviews I'm almost ready to place an order for new RS6.

Just a few questions if you wouldn't mind helping me:

1. I commute 200miles somedays, will I notice big diff between RS6 and the FFRR in terms of ride comfort? (FFRR is on 22"s).

2. What realistic MPG should I expect (mainly Mway / fast road driving)?

3. I'm not a huge fan of the small choice of wheels Audi offer, how much is a decent set of aftermarket 21"s & tyres such as black ADV.1s or similar? And would they slot straight on or need arch/suspension work?

4. Is air suspension better for UK Mways in the main, with the odd B road blast (rather than steel springs)?

5. What do you think of not spending £4k on Carbon Pack but having those same parts carbon black wrapped instead once I have the car? Would it look good? (Would be a lot cheaper £££).

6. Is the Audi sports exhaust, for £1k, a better idea than fitting a Milltek once I have the car? (What price a Milltek to add sound, love the popping and banging on overrun, and performance?).

7. How long before the reported facelift do you think?

8. Current wait time for a Sepang Blue with little options?

Many thanks for any answers/help

Bit harsher on the RS6 but keep it in comfort as dynamic adds nothing apart from spine ache

2. What realistic MPG should I expect (mainly Mway / fast road driving)?
I'm averaging 23.5 MPG with that mix

3. I'm not a huge fan of the small choice of wheels Audi offer, how much is a decent set of aftermarket 21"s & tyres such as black ADV.1s or similar? And would they slot straight on or need arch/suspension work?
No idea

4. Is air suspension better for UK Mways in the main, with the odd B road blast (rather than steel springs)?
I'd go with springs - and get the dynamic package as you get the uprated steering and lights

5. What do you think of not spending £4k on Carbon Pack but having those same parts carbon black wrapped instead once I have the car? Would it look good? (Would be a lot cheaper £££).
I don't think you find anyone that could wrap the bright work (roof rails, door surrounds etc) and do a good job. Know someone who had their mirrors wrapped and had it removed after a week and get the mirrors sprayed (as I did). If you want black brightwork, you'll have to get the carbon pack

6. Is the Audi sports exhaust, for £1k, a better idea than fitting a Milltek once I have the car? (What price a Milltek to add sound, love the popping and banging on overrun, and performance?).
No idea on the milteck but the stock is a must anyway

7. How long before the reported facelift do you think?
who cares - residuals should be fine

8. Current wait time for a Sepang Blue with little options?
3-6 months would be my guess

Thanks, much appreciated, that helps a lot.
