Ok so I may be missing something here but aka you seem to go through cars like I go through bad Australian jokes and as a Kiwi I tend to rack them up
Are you in the industry or do you just have a penchant for trying new cars?

UPDATE:
Driven 200 miles, and I can positively say this car is truly crap, slow and a pig to drive
BUT, I did have the roof down the whole time

MPG was around 46-47 vs. prob 31 on the S4
wishing I went for a auto as have to change gear so much as there's on 4k of revs available
it cant hold 6th until 40mph where as the S4 could take 6th at 25mph
to be fair to it though, its brand new
so will be better after a few k on the clock

To add to that ... I've borrowed a SEAT Alhambra for the weekend to shuttle 8 people in
I got in it, started driving, and INSTANTLY i thought, <beep>, this drive better than the A5 !!!
that A5 is truely <beep>
but will serve a purpose .... a 4k Euro roadtrip
