    Nav Update

    Interesting- my question too as I’m doing the same to my wife’s car. The instructions I’ve been given recommend the removal of the old map and partition, but the site I bought them off says I don’t have to and can update without, so would want to know the answers too. My current thought is to...

    S4 avant v Golf R estate - review

    I’ve had my Golf R estate now for a few months and I would echo chief badgers view that it is devastatingly competent. Fuel can be a pig in stop start traffic (but then we don’t buy them for fuel economy!, although I have had almost 40mpg on a run). My main gripe if I’m honest is the ride, my...

New house[emoji6].. the golf however is still in play, found a decent 18month old one with pretty much all the toys I...

    S4 avant v Golf R estate - review

    Well looks I need to have a test drive in an S4 to really make a fair comparison.. a quick squint on autotrader shows S4 avants (B8.5) fully loaded being around the same money as Golf R estates, of which similarly loaded examples are quite rare (mostly ex lease stock so pretty basic)... one...

    S4 avant v Golf R estate - review

    Hmm that's the dilemma for me; my last two cars have been Audis (TT then the A3), trying to find a blend of practicality and fun really without totally ridiculous running costs/maintenance (which rules out rs4!). I scuba dive for a hobby, so a big boot is a must, which also involves trips the...

    S4 avant v Golf R estate - review

    Interesting thoughts... what about running costs on a day to day basis? Whilst we all would love to drive cars like we stole them; most of us have to do the normal commute with a "bit of fun" thrown in as it were...;). Also what about storage space? One of things that is attracting me a little...

    My S4 thread

    Would definitely be interested in hearing some more comparisons and comments regarding how these 2 compare.. looking at potentially swapping mine towards the end of the year, and nailed the options down to a golf r estate or an S4 avant.. both tick various different boxes; so hearing from...
