Hi guys from (at the moment) sunny England!
New to the forum...been surfing for months trying to find a decent site with user-friendly information on the new S4, and have probably skipped this site many a time because of the name. Still, here now! And must say VERY impressed; videos excellent, information from the forum is fantastic.
Has anyone who is lucky enough to own the new S4 been able to judge the fuel consumption, particularly on long cruises (motorway jaunts etc)?
I currently own the old bi-turbo S4 and do about 40k miles per annum, and am seriously contemplating getting the new model, but the figures quoted by Audi for fuel worry me a little. Don't get me wrong, I'm not overly concerned by the frugality of the vehicle (let's face it, I wouldn't even be considering it if I was!), I'd just be interested to know if anyone's got hands-on information.
Oh and by the way, as I said I do plenty of miles, and my current S4 has been absolutely superb. It's showing over 110k miles on the clock, and all I've had to replace is one set of brake pads, a set of track rod ends and get a leaking rear diff sorted (the last 2 items both rectified under warranty), and believe me, I've ragged the car on plenty of occasions since I bought it on 22k miles! Testament to Audi's build quality, if any was needed...
