Sorry not a ford but i got myself an audi s6
Decided to go for refinement and its a joy to drive
4.2 v8 (340bhp) n/a - power on tap when i need it and triptronic box is superb
Done 105k but audi fsh
Got a train from aberdeen to sheffield and drove all the way back on my tod.
Well worth it as i got it for £6500 when it was advertised at £7500. A lot of them even at this mileage are advertised at 8-10k !!!
Cant believe my luck, was expecting there to be something wrong at that price but ive drove 600-700 miles and no problems and it aint used a drop of oil. Touch wood, touch wood !
Never been one for getting excited about interiors of cars but i absolutely love it in this. Electric everything, full leather recaros, full bose system and carbon fibre inserts. Oh yeah and i can change gear with buttons on my steering wheel as well as the shift !
Some questions;
1. When i put the gearbox into triptronic mode and i change up a gear is it ok to keep my foot planted or should i be lifting my foot off then applying accelaration once ive changed gear ? Dont wanna fuck the box (££££££££££ 's).
2. Anyone on here with performance audis in the aberdeen area. Heard a few bad stories about the audi dealership (specialist cars). I was thinking of using bavaria autowerke. Anyone put their cars in there ?
3. Any tips of ownership from fellow s6 owners owners of car with same 4.2 engine (s8, newer s4)?
