I used to have a 2010 S4 and had this DSG transmission issue. I had to pay out-of-pocket for repairs since it was well out of warranty. The paperwork I got for the class action covers "model year...

Thanks for the input. Very helpful. I honestly didn't even think of a battery disconnect, and while I think I knew it would reset the trip meter, I didn't realize it would reset the long-term memory....

Hmm. Thanks for the input. I never even thought of the car idling; I just assumed it was driven. Of course, that would take a lot of idling (I would think) to lose that much range. And why it would...

I definitely plan on it. The more I think about it, the more angry I get.

ALSO ... I just noticed (I didn't think to look earlier) that the long-term memory was also reset. I had been keeping it...

Body Shop Shenanigans? (Odometer Tampering?!)

Recently, my car suffered a bit of superficial, cosmetic damage while parked (I was having dinner in a restaurant) that required some buffing-out to restore it. Anyway, that's not the focus of the...

I'll have to check the next time I'm in my car, but I've got a bit over 6,000 miles (since getting it on 05/30/18) and am averaging 20.1 mpg. Generally, I'm in "individual" on the highway and sport...

Here are a few of mine. They're a bit old (I've had my plates for quite some time now), and I'm not a photographer (these are from my phone). Oh, and the McLaren in the last pic isn't mine, nor does...

Based on the number of morons I see driving around in my area who are on their cell phones, fines like these could get the national debt cut in half in less than a year. :) haha

It's not a seriously huge issue, but in the coupe, I wish there was a third "stop" to the door when you open it.

There are only two, and the first stop is just about when the door is opened about...

I really like how those Euro headrests look. I was thinking of getting them myself for my coupe, solely for the visibility issue ... but damn they're pricey!

As far as I can tell, the 2018 RS5 coupes started hitting dealers in my area around May/June of 2018. I picked mine up (granted, it was an order) on May 30th, 2018.

Yeah, I'm glad my dealer didn't put on their own sticker. I like having the badges, I just don't like the shiny silver look. My front and rear rings, as well as the rear RS5 badge are black. I'd like...

Really?! I've struggled with mine because I want to take it off, but can't seem to. I'm worried I'll use too much force and end up breaking something. I was under the impression the entire grill had...

You had the grill RS5 badge removed by the dealer?! I wish I would have asked my dealer to do that.

I think you're making what my point was supposed to be. ;)

I didn't buy an RS5 because I need it. I'd wager that you didn't either. But you wanted it, just as I did.

And like I said before, I...

Agreed. And if you need an instant jump, tapping the paddle shifter to a lower gear gives you that extra pull to make a quick maneuver. Also, there's no doubt that the RS5 is an impractical,...
