Fortunately you can turn it off, but you also have to do it every time you start the car, either that or turn off the traction and stability control, which I would rather not, given the inherent lack of grip. Don't get we wrong I am not saying it is a bad car, its just not as good as I expected...

Regards the pre-sense, if you have had the brakes slam on from 30mph to dead stop whilst passing a bollard at a normal distance, then I am pretty sure you would have a different opinion, I had two kids both with sore necks following this issue Whilst I appreciate that this is quite clearly a...

I agree with the gearbox comments entirely. I come from a 320d M sport on a 66 plate to a 190 TDI Sline on a 67 Plate so in theory a very similar car to compare. Both Auto with paddles. Both even the same colour. To me the BMW was a much nicer car to drive, the gearbox was more responsive...

I've decided not to bother waiting as well, so emailed my work fleet department to ask to keep the 67 plate I have as a temporary vehicle, at least I know what the emissions and BIK will be. Also means I can order another new one in two years time not 3, by which point the new models will be out...

Finally its updated! Looks like the 54L tank has become standard fit now too, which is a bonus as I had forgotten to pick that option. Downside is my Mrs doesn't like the old S4 wheels that have become standard on the S-Line.... Should have picked flat bottomed wheel too as that is only a £100...

This will be why mine doesn't have a build date, no manual TDI's yet. I've tried it looks like standard s line has S4 wheels from 2018 model. Makes me want to hold out for my order

I have seen those, I 'think' that potentially the standard S-Line wheels maybe the same 19" rotors that are on the Black Edition but in silver, as they are options on the Audi de site.

The BE looks great, I just wish I could get confirmation on the standard SLine spec for the UK, have tried the German site Configurator but it’s not the same uk models. How hard can it be for Audi UK to update the Configurator to the 19 spec

I made my mrs go and try to find it on mine for a challenge! She didn't find it.

I know its going to be a bit of a change to reduce the power, but 90% of the time i'm sitting in traffic. I should have gone with the 320d Msport as i'd have had it by know, but needed to sensible with kids and dogs with the avant as I couldn't have the BMW touring, unless it was the Efficient...

This is what interest me as well, I had ordered a 150 TDi 6 Speed S-Line Avant based on the emissions on my car lists and was expecting it to be £320 a month in deductions, guessing this will go up. I am lucky that I have been given a temp 67 plate 19o TDI Ultra S-Tronic which is costing me £350...

I have given up chasing through my works fleet manager, as I ordered mine in Feb, and even this week were unable to give me an update. My order was a 150 tdi Sline manual avant in Daytona. Luckily my temp hire car is a 67 plate 190 tdi Sline Ultra Avant auto. To be honest I really don't like...

Looks like you were just before me, my order was the 16th Feb, but the one I have ordered has a WK3 build date, so will be behind you at this rate. Luckily I have a 67 plate sline avant 190 until mine is ready, or I change my mind

Its just annoying waiting and not really getting any further information. I have seen the really useful information posted on here and its has been good to hear something! Out of interest does anyone know what the new S-Line wheels will look like? (i'm quite particular about wheels, but don't...

After my order in Feb, I am still non the wiser, my order is through my company car scheme so they out source, but based on the information from here, mine looks like a build week 03! I could order something else from my list, but I could really do with knowing if the emissions are going to...
