Following on from my 'what car' thread, I have moved on from the Mini GP2 to a slightly different beast....an Audi S4 Avant. I needed more space (so I can confirmtably fit in it...), a little more comfort for longer journeys, and a bonus of the ability to take a 38kg Greyhound in the boot.

After looking at a few options, i came across a local Audi dealer offering this 2011 Audi S4 Avant, and with some beneficial discussions struck a deal I was happy with. So my new daily is now quite different!

It's a 2011, Ibis White S4 with 33k miles, full history, just has new discs and pads on front and pad on rear, matching Dunlop Sport maxx tyres, and in mint condition.

Wasn't too fussy on spec, and I think this is what it has....

Ibis White
Full Audi SH

options, I think?:
19" 5 segment alloys
Cruise control
Heated front seats
Sports front seats (don't know if this is std?)
Black milano leather
Parking system plus
Bluetooth
high technology package [DVD, music interface, MMi nav, voice system and 'radio 'HIGH'..?)

Drive nicely, very comfortable, sounds good, drink petrol. biggrin

Will get some more pics soon, but this is it:

Nice, looks grey in white!

A friend of mine has one tweaked by MRC, I think it has a smaller pulley, intake, decat and intercooler and its an absolute missile.

Enjoy!

Thanks, no plans to tune it in the forseeable future. It's my daily driver and bought used approved for warranty etc. Just going to enjoy as is.

Well 1 month in and really enjoying the car!

Nice mix of comfy cruiser and nice sound and power.

Fuel consumption is proving ok; averaging about 21mpg on commute of slow a road and some city centre crawling, even managed 25mpg on a leeds - nottingham - leeds trip driving fairly sensibly.

A quick blast can completely ruin the commutes mpg though biggrin
