Agree completely. I can occasionally get a few more mpg if I'm very careful but about 25mpg is the usual average for me.

Good point! Not being able to really test what the car is capable of on the public road can be slightly frustrating. Has resulted in me considering going on one of the Audi Driving Experience days. Still looking into them but am hoping that it might make any differences between the set-ups very...

Reading threads on the sports diff is really interesting as different people seem to have varying opinions on it. I guess a lot depends on the individual's past experience of driving RWD/sporty cars and their driving style. For me, during my daily gentle-ish cruise to and from work I only...

Hi, I've had my S4 for about six months now - enough time to play with the sports diff. As Necroscope mentioned above, the sports diff initially doesn't seem to make a huge amount of difference to everyday driving, but when you become slightly more enthusiastic things change. Having driven...

Congratulations!!!! You're going to love it. Have not seen Sepang blue before - it is absolutely stunning.

a few quick photos of my S4:

Both of these sound worryingly familiar. Had a quick look at the 'detailing' forum. Had never realised it was such a specialised process. John - I'm in Birmingham. Seems as if you're in Solihull - any local recommendations? :) Thanks

Hi everyone, Finally thought I'd post as I am finding this thread particularly interesting. (sorry for the slight hijack) Just like the OP I will, hopefully, also soon take delivery of a new Audi (S4 saloon). Also, just like the OP I have signed up for 'Bodycare'. After seeing some...
