Hey guys,
I have finally picked up my A4 Saloon last Thursday and my oh my, what ever doubts I had before hand have been cleared!
- LOOKS/OPTIONS : I ordered the car with the adaptive sports suspension (nice n low) mythos black, 19 inch v spoke titanium alloys, matrix LED lights, s line, B&0 (finally amazing! probably run in now.. at first was hurting my ears and the bass was weak ), tech pack virtual cockpit, light n vision, flat bottom wheel, piano black interior, black leather n alcantara, interior lights.
-ENGINE/DRIVE: So when I first drove the car out of the dealer ship it really did feel like I was in an A8, the car is so silky smooth and the nice humming sound it makes from the inside as well as outside is so sooothing to hear! it was initially quite hesitant at first but I have actually racked up 600 miles in less than a week because I have completely fallen for this beast!
Performance has already drastically changed, it sounds like a muted dinasour roaring when you launch off the lights lol, the whooshing sound from the turbos is just something else and the initial acceleration is just mind blowing for a diesel, it does smooth out however after 100.. only bad side is that everyone seems to want to race me, quite daunting seeing cars come up to u from behind who knows it could be the police! I smoked a 535d off the lights and the guy asked me after how on earth is that a 3litre when there's only a twin exhaust?! understated I know..
I even had a race between a 650i and merc c350cdi which was quite something, I launched quicker than both but the 50i caught up with me and we stayed level.. the merc kept up not far behind! its hard to tell what cars are stock and what are tuned these days! So for a stock car it is very impressive.
- ECONOMY: Too good to be true, especially considering the insane torque u can exploit at literally any speed! did a trip to Woking from North West London over the weekend and did not take any fuel getting there, on the way back however it took 5 miles off, the trip computer also got up to 38mpg which I am very happy about considering the fact that its a brand new car. In town it is reasonable still, on average it takes 5 miles more off the tank than my a3 1.6tdi did.
RIDE/HANDLING: Now this is the most impressive part and the reason I was so surprised! for starters this is the best handling Audi I have ever driven! I was so concerned about having vague steering and a choppy ride but this is literally perfect, it handles with such accuracy and responsiveness for a saloon and completely makes a 3 series seem inferior in every possible way! ( a friend has a 320d msport ) I really don't understand why the reviewers make this car seem like it doesn't handle like the bmw or jag!
The ride is magic carpet like on smooth roads, and combined with the mighty torque from the V6, u can waft along so serenely which makes u feel like ur driving a much more expensive luxury car! even in dynamic it is extremely comfortable and the steering is perfectly weighted, only downside is it can be a wee firm on rough roads, but still acceptable so I could only advise anyone who wants an adaptive suspension go for the sports one!
I have attached 2 pics so far n will attach more later inc interior pics
P.S sorry for the long write up ( new car excitement)
