Thanks for the heads up, will definitely look to get an extended test drive in one. Regardless I think the S5 will go as I want to free up some money for a house move anyway. I do about 8k miles a year, main appeal is journeys around town saving me fuel by using the electric motor and my commute when rarely visiting the office is a 6 miles round trip, town driving. My S5 manages 15mpg on a good day
Fairly frequent weekend 250 mile round trips to Newcastle to the football also have got me leaning towards something slightly more economical.
Failing the 250E another option would be a older Golf R as I could easily get 40mpg on a long run in one of them. I’d love an A35 (think the tech and interior is great) but prices are crazy at the moment and I’d probably end up paying out more than I’d get for my S5 to get a decent spec’d one.
