I think the percentage of cars with warped discs is probably very low. We have heard a few people on here moan about them but there are plenty of people with no issues.

I have the adaptive cruise and think it's a great option.

Adaptive cruise was the main feature I wanted. As I was giving up a manual (B7 RS4), then I wanted to make the most of an automatic!
HUD was a bonus on the car I found, but I really like it - could be better though, it’s primitive. Never look at dash to see speed anymore and, that helps keep speed under control! I miss it when I drive the missus’ Polo (and about 500 horses).
Love the piano roof too. It goes round corners really well with DRC.
I would have loved ceramics - due to its weight and performance I do feel it’s nailing those poor discs and pads trying to stop it. Sometime it feels uneasy trying to slow it down (certainly compared to the ‘4)!

This is all sounding good :)

I had my DRC fail like everyone else on the C5. Is it holding out better on the C7, in particular the PE versions?

Couple of beauties here, though the other end of the country to me.

The Sepang with the ceramics, looks lowered?
