One of the justifications of getting mine was that I do about 5000 miles a year. However, I now find myself taking the long way home just to drive it, and I mean the LONG way round. Shops around the corner are no longer visited but ones across town. Visiting parents and friends more. Giving my Fiancé and her friends lifts whenever they want with NO complaint, even offering!

One other pleasant surprise is that other B8 RS4 owners flash and wave. I got let out onto a roundabout from a guy in a gorgeous white one yesterday. I really do like the white with Black Pack. Great "Club" to be a part of!

Words of warning!
Grinning so wide when you get it can in fact obscure your vision and cramp up your face, be warned!
Resist the overwhelming urge to play with settings/toys whilst driving or the verge will welcome you quickly! Familiarise whilst parked up.
Driving fast on windy roads for the first few times should be done alone unless you're completely comfortable with your passenger hearing you scream like a teenage girl in the front row of a One Direction concert. Was going to say Take That!.......Jeez, how old am I! Haha!
The digital speed display goes up in 10's when your foot is down!! Seems like it anyway. 50mph......50mph....overtake.....90mph!?.......wait, what!?........overtaken car tiny speck in mirror.
Turning off the stereo to hear the engine note does not sit well with your partner. Or constantly accelerating.

Thank I've covered a few....anyone else??

Lol that's funny , cheers for support

What was the fix for the knock from the dealer? Mine is going in next week and I've already received the 'it's a charachteristic of the car' bs response regarding the 'knock'.:audibash:

Would be useful to have further details on your experience to help direct my dealer in the right direction if you are able to help...

Nice looking motor in Suzuka Grey btw!

Thanks

Apparantly they checked pressures , added some fluid, checked, no parts required,
all seems ok at mo fingers crossed ,,,,,,,
Think the problem was caused due to the car sat on jacks for three days while alloys were being refurbed,,
lets hope
