    i picked my S5 sportback up on Friday and all I can say is that its been worth the wait. The thing is amazing. I'm got 14mpg on my commute into London but its horrible traffic and so I'm OK with that. the 2.0 tdi A6 used to get about 16.... Went for a play on Sunday and got about 22 mpg...

    Clunking sound in my new S5 Sportback

    sorry to here that. I am picking up my S5 Sportback Friday and I can imagine this would be highly annoying when you wait so long to get these things. Let me know what it turns out to be - hope they get it fixed

    so I rang the dealer today and apparently its built and about to be loaded onto the ship. Should be here in two weeks, maybe three. You would have thought the dealer would have rung me with that bit of news but nope. So assuming first week of March it will be almost exactly 3 months which has...

    Anyone have any recent experience of delivery times? I ordered 6th December and was told week 9 build, delivery mid to end March I think. Basically, I am impatient and really hoping it turns up sooner. Is that wishful thinking??!

    Essential Options

    thanks to all the help on these pages over the last few weeks re the car. In the end I went with the S5 sportback rather than the S4 avant as I (hopefully correctly) decided we don't need all the space and the sportback boot is bigger than I first thought. Phantom Black, super sports seats...

    S4 lead times

    on the subject of lead times, I'm being offered a March delivery I order this month and a 6% discount off list as a starter. Can't do much about March but has anyone got any views about the 6%? They are only offering me about £500 more for my car than webuyanycar.com would.. . Its only...

    Colour I'm thinking black although quartz grey maybe? On the alloys I actually like the standard 19 inch ones that come with the S5.

    advanced key? nice to have I guess but not sure I would pay £400 for it. Though I appreciate each person varies! I suppose my question is would there be something not on my list that would make the car less attractive when I sell it? Eg if I didn't want sat nav that would be a bad idea (though...

    S5 Sportback Essential Options

    what options would you say are essential when looking at the S5 Sportback? At the minute I'm torn between buying new or there a a couple of good ex demos I've seen which are well kitted out. Some of those are a bit pricey to me but they do have some more extras than I might not order if buying...

    You may have noticed I have a few questions about the S4 so thanks for all the help so far. Next, what options would you say are essential? At the minute I'm torn between buying new or there a a couple of good ex demos I've seen which are well kitted out. Some of those are a bit pricey to me but...

    Avant boot size

    is that right then that its slower? On the s5/s4 avant figures I thought they looked about the same with the s5 having slightly (and I mean tiny) better fuel economy. Stuhil - you're wife definitely has a point and we now have two kids. Thing is they are getting a bit bigger, need a bit...

    Avant boot size

    I'm currently very tempted by an S4 Avant but also really like the s5 sportback. The brouchures claim the avant only has 10litres more boot space. Does anyone know if the avant is only counting up to the luggage cover (ie back of the seats) or does it include up to the roof to me the...

    s4 avant real life economy - London Driving?

    today in the TDI it was 19MPG. Maybe its time to get that looked at rather than worry about the s4! start/stop I don't think is availble on the s4 unless I've missed it?

    s4 avant real life economy - London Driving?

    Sorry if this has been asked a few times but I was just wondering if anyone had any real life views of economy driving an s4 in london? I know economy is perhaps not the most obvious thing to consider when buying a car like this but I just know that my daily commute could be annoying if the...
