Nice. My old man has one of them and they do shift once they have thought about it for a little bit. I find it a bit hesitant because of all the electronics in it though...

I know my dad's 740i does around 17mpg, I'd imagine this'd be something similar

Every car ive owned has been manual, ive only had a go in one yank auto hire car & thought yuck! Obviously be a diff story in a 4.2L Audi!

Its the mpg that matters.. They had to justify the size of the car with a big tank I think.. lol

I'm aiming to fill it once a month..

Tank will be proportional to the car, think splash pool Vs olympic size swimming pool!

iirc my mates M3 Evo had a large tank - £70 to fill & tyhat was a year ago!

It would work if the carpets matched, but Audi fucked it up a bit, I'd go for the black seats. My dad's got the grey alcantara in his and it's a bit boring. But it is an Audi and they are nice and luxurios but never that exciting on the inside.

Mine originally had the cream leather but he changed it for black sport and put the bose stereo in at the same time and the sport steering wheel..
