She drives beautifully and is such a step up from the 3 litre which I dearly loved for the last two years. I was genuinely sad to see her go and I have to say she was still immaculate and running superb I just really had a hankering for more power. I started looking at S8's and a: couldn't find one I liked for the right Money and b: got fed up of dealers wasting my time. I nearly took a punt on a new one which was offered for £58,000 bog standard (no wonder they depreciate so quickly in the first year) But after trying the V8T D I was blown away by the smoothness and power of this motor... and my head took over as this was really the sensible decision for me as an everyday car. After all I have my TVR for the weekend and sunny days
Anyway I hope you like her I was dubious about the colour and the dark interior, but I am converted, when she is cleaned up and sat in the sun she looks stunning imho .
First thoughts/findings ...
Economy so far and she isn't really run in yet is early 30's I did see 40 coming back up the M1 at a steady 70. But in economy mode she gets into 8th so damn quickly ! I reckon you can make extremely rapid progress and never rev above 2k revs!
I like the subtle changes they made to the facelift and as you go round when cleaning you find even more than the obvious where they have changed lines and profiles etc. and they made the boot larger which always annoyed me after the D3.
The Audi connect works I stuck a PAYG sim in that and it works really well, creates a wifi hotspot in the car, you can send your destinations to the car or pick them off your address book using the iPhone app, very clever, although I suppose this is old hat to anyone with a new TT!
Then there is the noise the V8 makes not at all diesel like, silent most of the time, till you poke it then a deep growl lovely
Oh and the Matrix lights are stunning they work so well.
My daughter loves the massage seats, I suffer with my lower back and I had them on an AMG merc which was great so I think they will get some use!
Only really 4 days in with her but I am seriously in love!
All the best Glyn
