What's a manual? ;) So should I need anything to just use internet radio - or is that technically utilising the WiFi hotspot (which I actually have no use for anyway).

Ah ok, I had at least hoped internet radio would have been covered - it worked to begin with but not any more. Have to say the process of internet radio in the car is pretty silly given you have to start the MMi app on your phone.

Hi all I thought the tech pack came with a prepaid SIM? I'm trying to use the WiFi in the car but it says you have to register then buy a plan. Am I missing something, or did I imagine the free element? I'm sure I read it was subject to fair usage somewhere. Note I confidently told the dealer...

Oh, and I haven't tried economy mode yet, I found that worse on fuel in my Q3. I also switch off start/stop as I'm not convinced it saves fuel unless you're sat in traffic for ages.

Isn't the difference just the additives - you're paying for those? I generally get BP/Shell because of that. Mines averaging about 38MPG in real life, though the MMI claimed 51MPG on a long run the other day.

De-badged, nice choice!

Wow, I’m not sure how I could live with that! Fun though :tongueclosed: Not a bad run this morning, without trying but not over 70 mph

14? Well done on that... worst I've had is 25 on a short journey. I need to try harder :tonguewink:

Maybe laggy is the wrong term, but it suffers from the delayed response at junctions - S does the trick though! Def agree on the tailpipes - looks great :thumbs up:

So - first 'full' tank, mostly my 70% motorway commute but including some rotten traffic (care of not leaving early enough) and a longer motorway trip (60 miles) and it returned 38.7 mpg. Admittedly I haven't ragged it but given it's still running in and the temps have been fairly low that's...

Coming from a diesel (quattro) Q3 to the 40 TFSI, I think personally I would find the 35 TFSI under-powered. I guess it all depends on what you've been used to. The A5 is a big car, at a guess I'd say it was more than sufficient in the A4 saloon but might be a bit underwhelming in an A5. That...

I can't help but think it will make more sense when there are more electric/hybrids. But even then it makes no sense against KW. Pretty sure the equivalent from BMW, i.e x40i is a 3.0 turbo? One thing I will say is I get more people trying to ride my backside than in the Q3!

Starting to wish I'd had the 40 TFSI removed now, about five people now have asked me if it's a 4.0 litre... I wish ;)

Thanks for the suggestion, might try this on the piano black interior in mine... already scratched

Looks great in black!
