New car

A perfectly logical naming system. Next!

Isn't it now related to emmisions or summat ??

It just means that EVs can fit into the hierarchy too (and of course engine size is irrelevant these days with the various options for FI/hybrid/etc).

37hrs of labour swiftly avoided... FOR YOU.

Yep. The new owner has been made aware of the (minor) oil sump leak.

I assumed you'd just px it while acting the ncg (maybe that's what you meant "slight leak, cheap part, easy fix for someone").

I had an Manual A5 FWD a few years back and it was all but undrivable in slippery conditions - best of luck

Did you have a 2.7, or was that someone else?
When the tc and esp kicked in did it flash up "should have bought a quattro" on the dash?

It developed a brake fault last week which made it difficult to trade in. It’s currently on eBay with the faults listed but should make at least what the dealer was offering me for it with everything working.

The oil leak is minor but it’s not going to get any better without ££££

I had the 3.0 (it’s still outside ). I didn’t notice any handling issues but it often spun the wheels up pulling away when it was slippy. I think that was more of an issue for the auto box, manuel would have been easier in those conditions.

Very nice, looks spot on in that colour with those alloys

Nah 2.0 Turbo. It was horrible

[Alex88]

Nice! I like that a lot

[IanF]

Very nice, although I’m not confused about Audi numbering.. why is it an A5 saloon and not an A4!?

is it a saloon or a hatchback? That used to be the determining factor I thought?!!

[Jobbo]

It's obviously a Sportback
