    My garage for a weekend..

    Both cars were on loan though haha

    Audi gave us a demo for a month (as we were waiting for our car to be delivered)... and the black demo (had 22km on the clock though!) was for winning a competition (but was only allowed to do 1000km, so did over 900 before giving it back)

    Im pretty sure yes, but the one I had was the s-tronic. Love the blips on downshifts... but the RS6 sounds much better as it pops / crackles heaps more ;)

    Drives really well. It aint gotta win any drag races, but feels really good on the road. Gearbox is surprisingly notchy for something approaching 50 years old, and I love the feel of the mechanical clutch/accelerator compared to the 86.

    Edit: I should have said 60 years old of course, not 50.

    We gave up waiting and just got a SP25GT (for the wife). Will definitely look at upgrading though when it finally comes out.

    Nah, just a 1.5, but it goes alright as the car is really light.

    I hear there will be a 2 MPS in the future though.

    yea we had to trade that mps in for a 2010 mazda 6 wagon, kids come along and all of a sudden you need boot space. Another one on the way too, so mite to invest in a cx9.

    Got to drive this little beauty today. I liked everything except for the stupid gearbox. One of those clutch less manual type things, like a Renault Van. You drive along in auto and all of a sudden it's like someone hits the brakes for you then it takes 1 second to shift then goes again. Sounds great on part throttle downshifts though, it blips the throttle and gives a little pop. Nice ride. [​IMG]
