So we arrived at Aberdeen Audi today at lunch to get the order in and pick up the demo, so the final spec was almost the same as I had pre chosen so here it is
Milano red
Sport pack with v spokes
Pano roof
Leather/alcantara seats
Heated seats
High connect
B&O audio
Hill hold assist
Privacy glass
As you can see I haven't gone wild and to say I am a happy guy is a understatement, colour was the problem as I simply could not choose, but upon getting to the dealership theirs is red with the pano roof,standard optics and v spokes...........I was instantly sold on the colour choice
So the road test had two functions today , see how I get on with the gearbox and how the new pram fits in the boot. So pram Shop was up in Fraserburgh and happy to say that there is actually more room in the boot of the RS4 than the SQ5 we have so it fits in with room to spare . Now Graeme had told us that the previous guy who drove it "booted" it so the gearbox had adapted to that style driving, now after a while it retuned to our day to day driving and was very pleasant to use.
But you guys never mentioned anything about how addictive that induction noise is mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm , So during today that's over 100 miles covered with a variety of driving styles and it averaged 24.1 mpg
, that's the same that our old B8 S4 was doing but I know cars like this aren't designed with fuel economy in mind . I do miss the in gear torque that the SQ5 has in spades, but once accustomed to the box dropping a cog or two is kinda forgotten about.So car goes back tomorrow lunchtime and we have a build slot of week 3 next year
Hope I haven't dribbled on too much guys, but I honestly never thought this day would come
