I suppose the big issue here is what model year it is. I presume the new model year with nicer wheels on it?

TBH i was after a new order so never got that far in the conversation with them, but as long as it's MY18 then it's not a bad price. Not cheap as they have been but seen worse too.

Have any of you used the easy access function on the front seats? I only discovered this trawling through the MMI and it's a great function because it deflates the side bolsters when you open your door to exit the car and re inflates them to the preset position once you get back in and close the door!

Press Drive Select
Press Car
Press Button to the right of the MMI
Click to Vehicle Settings
Click to Seats
Go to Drivers Seat
Tick Easy Entry

Come out of menu and adjust the bolsters to how you like them and then open your drivers side door and the bolsters will loosen, shut the door again and the bolsters will tighten to the position they were in before the door was opened.

This function is to ensure you don't damage the bolsters when entering and exiting the front seats which I think is a pretty cool function and I assume it works on the passenger side although I haven't tried it yet.

I asked my partner if it did it on that side and she said no, whether she knew what I was on about is another thing. It might be dues to the steering wheel creating an obstruction. And yes I use it on my S5.

It does work the same on passenger side.

Thought it would, just thought she wouldn't know what I was on about.

Picked car up today and drove 600 miles. Managed 38mpg for first 200 miles. Car is much smoother and handles a lot better than golf r it replaces.

Hey, unable to send you a PM.
My PH account didn't give me any notifications for this! Happened to manually visit this thread just now, presuming this has been fully cancelled now and totally disappeared?

Order was cancelled a few weeks ago but central uk leasing had two S4 Avants kicking about. Might be worth just calling them and checking (ask for Brad).

I've just taken delivey of one of the S4s that were on offer at the end of August, so not too long a wait. My first new car, and I've not done much driving in it yet...it's not stop raining!

A few photos on the driveway:

I'm loving mine one week into ownership! I loved my B8 S4 but this is on another level, so refined and definitely quicker than the figures suggest! I think the engine note and burble are nice without being intrusive.

I looked at the new RS5 in the showroom yesterday and I prefer the S4, the seats and other parts of the interior trim are identical. I expected the RS5 to be a bigger step up but it didn't do it for me.

Booked the s4 in for a check. A very annoying rattling at the back which seems to be coming from the speaker enclosure.

ANyone notice similar?

No no, that's firmly belted in when someone isn't with me!
