My Pzero’s lasted 6k, I find the Michelin’s last about 11k. After 60k miles in two years I don’t think I have ever had the mpg above 30 and the average is 24mpg.

It is unlikely to be attractive company car drivers. I have a S4 as a company car and this coming year the tax is very slightly less than than the most powerful A4 Diesel.

My S4 came with Pirelli’s, a great tyre but wear very quickly. I have since fitted Pilot Sports and find them just as good and last a few 1000 miles more

I’ve found that every time I have new tyres within a day the low pressure warning comes on. I check the pressure and it is fine, reset the MMI and it then works fine until the tyres are changed again.

In the scheme of things not a big drama but other than dying in a crash neither is anything else to do with a lump of metal that gets you from A to B. They still did something to my car they had been explicitly asked not and I hate bad service. They have now sourced some new speaker covers as...

Following on from a previous thread where people had a terrible job carried out when a main dealer took off the Bang & Olufsen speaker strip and replaced it with a dodgy looking sticker. My car went in today for a service and they said it had two recall items neither of which were the speaker...

Having read various threads about people only doing a few thousand miles a year I wondered if anyone else is piling on then miles on their S4? I have had mine a year and done 30000 miles! I probably should have bought a diesel but what the hell you only live once and need some grin factor! I...

This was a duel carriage way and van on a bridge, totally my fault and the first time in over 25 years I have been done for speeding. I am incredibly careful in 30mph as I once ran a kid over who rode his bike straight out in front of me from between some parked cars. Lucky I was driving very...

Mine got some attention last week for a very nice gentleman with a radar gun

I will have to take the S4 one day I thought they were restricted, that is impressive fully loaded. I totally agree that at 120 its fine, 140 and above it gets very hard work. I think trying to preempt other people changing lanes was the biggest strain. Trying to work out how fast cars are...

I have done 140+ out there a few times in hire cars but have never had my S4 out there. It is surprisingly hard work and I didn’t do it for long stretches and never tried getting anywhere near that at night. I assume your S5 is de-restricted, I thought they restricted them to 14o.

I do about 30k miles a year in mine with a real mix of country lanes, town / city and motorways. I find it great for everything. The adaptive dampers are great and I find it more comfortable than my previous A6 S line. Sitting in traffic around town is no worse then any other car and the first...

Audi fitted mine just to the passenger side of the mirror, it makes ait a bit less visible from the drivers view and you cant se any cables at all.

Spot on, works perfectly after updating to 11.3.

I wouldn’t be without: Virtual cockpit Sports diff Adaptive dampers Black styling pack Carbon fibre inserts (definitely the best finish) B&O sound system I wouldn’t have paid the miner for the red brake calipers but I’m glad I have them they do add a nice touch along with the RS wheels
