I am really enjoying the new S5, better than I expected and very well specced.

Very cice looking car, to save me googling whats the vital statistics?

typo and cannot edit post some reason, I mean NICE looking car

0-60 in 4.7s.

Looks very nice, which dealer did you get it from? As the hand over bay looks identical to ours in Maidstone. Can I guess Swindon?

S-Tronic?

Do they still do a manual verson?

Maidstone it was!

s-tronic only. Who wants a manual?

Probably a debate for another day, as my GT-R comes in flappy paddle form only too.

I still prefer a manual for driving fun and involvement, even if it is slower.

How is the drive?? I'm wanting an a5 diesel next I'm guessing there pretty smooth and refined etc

Maidstone it was!

What time were you there? Who were you dealing with? Sorry for all the questions, if I'd had know I would have stayed on a little longer and said hi! As I had to drop a new A7 back this am.

Hope you enjoyed your drive home?

I do like the 4 door versions of the S5 and S7. I'm not so taken by the 2dr, just doesn't work for me.

Any hoo, some nice cars there hope your enjoying the new car smell.

Very nice.

Got there at half one and I have been dealing with Andy and Keith, both top blokes and really helped me to get a good deal.

You have in your possession my old S4 now. Ibis white on a 12 plate.

The new complex is really nice compared to the old one.

Its spot on. I have been a bit spoilt with my last two cars so I'm used to this level of motor now. With the drive select it helps even further with the comfort / refinement.

Very nice, the only thing I dont like about the new Audis are those awful DRL's in the headlamps.

I wouldn't kick it out of bed :p

Have to agree, they are both top guys.

Have to say it is a very nice place to work,

I didn't realise you we're local? Or did we do the best deal?

I live in Bristol. You guys always give the best deals!

That's good, worth the drive, you should of said and I could of delivered it for you, save you the drive!!

I have to say, other than the silver mirror caps and exhaust it looks quite normal, like other Audis.

Does it have a styling pack on it Nick replacing the chrome?

For some reason I thought it was the sportback 5 door too, just noticed it's the 3 door.

Richard, not sure if it's standard on the S5, but you can order a black pack on lower spec models.

Hope you don't mind the question, but why so many cars changes in such a short space of time? I thought the S4 Avant looked great and would be my ideal car if money allowed.

You've had more cars in this thread than I've ever owed!

S4 broke, 5 cab loaner, S5 bought.

In short.

I am a fan of the S4 avant too.

But a working one obviously.
