haha..

McD, you enjoying the buckets?
 
Re: RS4, how's the dynamic ride? have you figured out which settings you like best via the Sports package? 


Dynamic is a beast but I drive it in Individual mostly which I've set as the exhaust on loudest, suspension softest and auto on the others.

Means towns a doddle but with a great soundtrack.

I just switch into dynamic when the conditions allow.

Buckets are awesome, so wish I'd had them in the 3 as I'm pretty sure it makes the car feel like there's way less body roll

Audi vs. Merc vs BMW

 

All different beasts...

 

Looks wise, Audi rule supreme.


But in terms of ride comfort.. I must admit the Audi is bit hard...

Thats why Dynamic ride control is a must!

 

You can go from total comfort to hard as nails at the touch of a button.  

 

Makes a performance car into something thats a pleasure to drive around town.

They sound metallic for a few seconds then it settles.

There are enough deals about to be paying less than that for a well spec'd unregistered.

£61,000 on a 14 plate sounds rich!!
 
Ive seen 14 plate £55-57k there offering big discounts on pre-reg 14 plates at main dealer
 
on autotrader there around £50k. there dropping big time 
 
good time to buy one! if thats the car your after. but i think 3 years old there going be way under £30k

Stafford Audis the one with all the fancy colours ain't it?

Yea about 10secs is right, if you rag it as soon as you start it then it's seriously raw!

Toby your brave enough for a really fancy colour!!
