Does anyone know a dealer in S London with a demo car for test drives?

The car is not available yet in the UK, or anywhere else to matter!
I thnk RHD versions will available from March, but it seems that most are presold
and not many dealers will run demos.

I think thats a fair summary John. I think it's highly unlikely that any will be on demo, as was the case with the B5 RS4.

Poole Audi told me last week that they are getting one in "next year" and that they would offer me a test drive. Mind you i was giving them a bit of stick over missing paperwork :bash: at the time so it may have been just to shut me up :shock:

My gast is truly flabbered! I'll believe it when I see it, so if anyone sees one on demo, let me know - I'll be there!

I have been told that Listers will not run a demo at all at Worcester and they expect that to cover all their other dealerships too. Too expensive for a car that will be abused by all and sundry- so I am told

Good, that's not so far to go. They were adamant they wouldn't get one at Worcester but I guess if it means people looking elsewhere, even to the same company they may have to change their minds.

Gang, There are currently 87 demo cars confirmed on there system. So I guess some of your dealers intend to run RS4 demos. (Not for long) Clive pop in and see Rob at Wakefield in March, he has a demo car as does Franklin in Leeds (not far for you) Make sure you take a bone for his whippet.
