    This is what the wife bought me to replace the S2, only trouble is she really likes and I'm having trouble getting to drive it

    It's an A5 1.8T Fsi Sport

    Lovely, absolutely bloody lovely! Audi's always look great in a brilliant red like that... Am I right in thinking that an A5 is the modern equivalent of an Audi coupe given that its based on the A4 which is the replacement for the 80?

    Enjoy it fella, when you get the keys back off the wife that is...

        Well almost new, it's actually on a 57 plate but has less than 2k miles on the clock.

              Big new beast! I do like the styling of the 5. No wonder the missus likes it if that's her Ka in the background Can't imagine performance is up to the S2 with a 1.8t in there tho

                Performance isn't up to S2, but it still has a good amount of grin factor , it is her Ka in the background but it's also her 944 in the rear view shot. One of the main reasons for the change was that I got fed up of paying out £300+ a month on petrol going to and from work, the A5 will give me a 60/70% increase on fuel economy.

                  Fuel savings will be good but depreciation usually kills any idea of saving money long term. Good work on the 944

                    True but the car is 14months old with less than 2000 on the clock and we got it at about 2/3 list price of when it was brand new.
