Looks good! What engine is in those?
Also what deal did you sign upto? Wondering how it compares to my S4 deal...
It’s the V8 twin turbo in the S6. This worked out 360 a month, 3500 initial. 23 monthsAlso what deal did you sign upto? Wondering how it compares to my S4 deal...
Finally a photo of someone's S6! Looks great! On the "dated" comments, I lease an A6 with the simpo nav... and I realise many people now use separate sat navs on their phones or otherwise .... but I cannot believe the number of 17/67/18 reg S6s (Saloon & Avant) I've been seeing on Autotrader which were built with the SD card nav!
I specced HD nav on my A1, which was a Nov 2010, and it was far superior to the A6's nav.
Look forward to S6 updates!

Yeah, the B9 vehicles and newer seem so much more up to date. Even the A3 infotainment is a bit dated now I think.I specced HD nav on my A1, which was a Nov 2010, and it was far superior to the A6's nav.

Random snap during first drive. Yep, many pieces hark back to solid state drives and manufacturer specific connectors (MMI plug anyone!) V8TT very strong though and cabin otherwise well finished and qualityI specced HD nav on my A1, which was a Nov 2010, and it was far superior to the A6's nav.

Hi all - had my S4 for nearly 3000 miles now and loving every minute.
Just found enough time to sift through the manual and find answers to some questions I have. However, does anyone know the answer to the following?
Every time I, or any passengers, try to connect to the car wi-fi (I've turned it on in the car settings), they put the password in... but then get transferred to a splash page (a bit like when you connect to public wi-fi).
It then asks me to register as the SIM owner and purchase a data plan. Even though the car already has one (all weather, news, connect etc works).
Could this possibly be due to the fact that the SIM that comes with the car doesn't allow tethering (or similar)?

Exactly. They give you Audi connect data but nothing else. You either need to put your own SIM in or pay the fees.Just found enough time to sift through the manual and find answers to some questions I have. However, does anyone know the answer to the following?

Took delivery of my S4 on Tuesday, it's bloody brilliant!
It's really my first 'performance' car, previously had a Merc A180 with 120hp so quite a step up! The exhaust noise is better than I expected and it is plenty quick. The menus aren't exactly intuitive but now it's all setup to my liking it's not an issue.
I'm really pleased with the Navarra Blue, and also find that I do not regret forking out for the black styling pack and optional wheels at all.

Collecting my S4 on the 23rd November from Audi Blackburn which I got from one of the bargain lease deals earlier this year. How is everyone finding their S4 so far?
I'm coming from one of the £107.99 Golf GTI deals of 2 years ago, so quite an upgrade. Starting to develop a knack for getting these deals!

I'm 7 months in now. Loving the compactness (versus my last car which was an S8!), very wieldy, lovely sound, never need more performance, quality interior, and pretty decent economy.
Downsides: steering is a bit dead (no surprise there), ride is unnecessarily harsh (air suspension would have been nice), MMI is designed for dextrous 12 year old Playstation experts, lacks goodies as standard (even my wife's Qashqai has memory seats, folding mirrors and a camera), and I hate, absolutely HATE, pre-sense.
I'm being a bit harsh actually. I really do like it.

Highjack: S6 update. 1500 miles. Engine v strong, nice noise, genuinely quick at 50+ in gear speeds. V refined (too much for my preference).
Handling precise, little feedback, a bit aloof if pressing on, but traction and grip still surprises given the bulk.
Overall a very good package, a bit bland, with perceived prestige.
