Fliptop's B8 S4 has landed...

Post by Fliptop » Tue Feb 24, 2015 7:48 pm

Picked up my S4 today. So far, I love it! Really nice to drive, way too many things to adjust/configure and the some of the controls are quite alien after Saabs for so long, but it drives well, is comfortable (especially with the adaptive dampers set to "comfort" mode).

I've already discovered the potential for hoonery fun that the active diff gives... :FIREdevil:

I don't like red cars as a rule but this looks nice. I was scrolling through the photos thinking... "nice" "nice" "yeah... nice" then I got to the interior and actually did a little brain "ohhhh!" :D I like it.

Cheers.

It's already got most of the options list chucked at it...

Sports diff
Drive select with the adaptive dampers, steering etc
Seats
MMI
etc, etc

It's from a dealer and want to maintain the 12 months warranty I get with it, but once that's expired, it'd be rude not to throw a cheeky remap at it...The Chris Harris Revo S4 vs RS4 video was what first inspired me to look at these cars.

Well after I washed it yesterday, we did finally get some sunshine here in North Yorks...in between snow flurries anyway!

And I took one of "his & hers" a few days back - alongside Mrs Fliptop's FN2 Civic Type R buzzbox thing :dung:

I'm loving the way this things shimmers in the sunlight, it's almost day-glo!
