Hi, All this is the only way i could get you some pictures haha, hope these are ok?

After my rocky start with my screw in the tyre at 35miles, Audi replaced my tyre free of charge which i am very impressed with.
Did anyone else have theres delivered w/ Perelli's with the tyre built in alloy protector which sticks out over the alloy, these look amazing.

1.4 Engine is punchy and responsive i am very surprised, mpg i do have a heavy foot but im a bit dissapointed as im getting around 25-29mpg so far, the s-tronic gearbox copes very well and as my first automatic i am in love dont think i will ever go back to manual.

Virtual Cockpit- a must in imo dont even think about it.

Extended Interior Lighting Package- Well worth the extra £100, having 30 colours to choose from and being able to change the footwells, lines on the door panels etc

Grey Nappa Leather- every person who has seen it has commented- its not too dark or too light; it finishes the interior off, although my jeans seem to be leaving marks so i need to do some research is a barrier cream or something?

Mythos Paint- Looks amazing when clean as we all know; its filthy already but the metallic flake really does make affirm my decision.

Rotors- As you can see in the side on shot- completley sets the car off; amazing.

I am rushing this as im at work and i know how many people wanted to see pictures; anymore questions or pictures you want to see, comment below.

It looks amazing in Mythos black! The back of it looks really mean! how are you finding the drive and everything?

I have been getting a similar MPG to you. I am sure Audi say around 58 MPG so would like to know is there anything wrong with the cars. I just fueled up last Monday and already have 1/4 tank remaining with just local driving.

Have you thought about tweeking anything using coding?
 
Yeah My Fuel Gauge is moving like the rev counter and coming from a diesel manual car this is very unsettling lol, dont get me wrong i knew it wouldnt be amazing. Drive wise it has plenty of umph and i dont find it struggling so im happy w/ that.

Only slightly jealous Brandon. I'm almost tempted to cancel my order and go for a 1.4 instead.

I think, if you search this forum, you will find the mpg from the 1.4 engine in the b9 surprisingly good. However, like all manufacture's figures, they are only there as a guide to compare...
 
Looks awesome. I hope mine comes with the same tyres cos my wife's parking is rubbish.

Beautiful! Looks really smart in black, and the contrasting leather is a great decision. I'm sure your chuffed to bits with it. Enjoy

You will find the mpg improves slightly as the engine loosens off. I would expect 35 is probably realistic a overall mpg figure when the novelty has worn off. 150hp isn't really enough for a car of this size (with an enthusiastic driver) so the engine will be thirsty if it's getting spanked :)

We have those lips on the tyres and they haven't worked. 2 wheels to get re-cut before we give it back haha. Very low profile tyres are not very kerb resistant unfortunately.

I did this to my last Mercedes. I was gutted. It made a sickening crunch. Amazingly I filled it with filler and touched it up with a touch up pen and sprayed some lacquer over it and the inspector never noticed during his 20 minute inspection before taking the car back.

To be honest a bit of a scuffing on the wheels is neither here or there to me. It's just a little job that needs sorting before it goes back to the leasing company. I'll get it valeted as well and it'll be going back like new.

I'm a bit on the anal side. Obsess every so slightly over things like alloys and no doubt I will over the piano Black interior on the A4.

My wife on the other hand doesn't care so much and wouldn't bat an eyelid over a scuffed alloy or scratched interior and always has a dig at me about how I go on at her about it.

So you can imagine how much stick she gave me when I did that to the wheel. What made it worse was I'd only had the car a few weeks and I did it on the road at the top of my street that I'd driven out of a thousand times before.

These things do happen and if it can be put right for a few quid then it's not so bad. As I understand it these diamond cut wheels can only be re-cut once so I have left them for now, and will get the 2 with scuffs done last thing before it goes back.

Loving the Mythos black, looks awesome!

I have the 1.4 but in manual and after doing over 1000 miles so far I getting around 40-46 mpg on average, so very impressed as my old V6 was getting 28mpg. Before the I hit the 1000 mark I was only getting around 30-35 mpg, so hopefully overtime you'll get better mpg.

My BE with Rotors was delivered with Continentals, don't know why they have changed tyre suppliers.

That is a good thing. I'd like Michelin PS4, but Conti 6's would be the next best choice.

@Brandon Williams - New A4 looks fab buddy !

Interesting thoughts

Personally I couldn't live with a black car again. I have a problem with car OCD, apparently ...

I can assure you that if you have ocd there is far more things that will worry you than the colour of your car, only you probably won't know it...
