3) I don't actually really want a manual to be honest... I fancy an stronic for once.
4) It looks a bit too bling for the commuting / hotel life I expect for it
5) I don't want another RS. I'm definitely looking for a downgrade
6) The B7 boot config is rubbish compared to the S5
7) Thirsty engine + worlds smallest fuel tank = lots of fillups. That's not fun.
8) I believe the economy is actually worse than my RS6....
9) Edit to add - My bulk doesn't fit in the bucket seats very well, and no one buys an RS4 without buckets....
I like the S5. Its a great compromise between performance / economy / convertible / practical / fun / sensible / tech
It doesn't excel at anything particularly, but it does most of everything I want better than most 
I appreciate the suggestion though.... |
Fair points, it's still probably the most underwhelming performance Audi I've ever driven though, especially after a mapped C6. I'd be all over a biturbo A6/7 with your needs, unsure how much change you'd see after you've found an IT spec one however.
