A match made in heaven!!

I drove a A4 3.0 TDI (171kw) while doing one of my HSDC and believe me this is a monster!! Unbelievable torque, great handling and excellent fuel consumption. Even when I drove with the RS4 we had a few on track with us and i'll be honest, if your not in the right gear the diesel closes the gap very quickly!! So I think the A5 3.0 TDI would also be my choice over the S5 ... That's untill the RS5 arrives ....!!!

I drove the manual, not a fan of auto transmision at all. Even the DSG is not an option I would even consider!! Drove the new TT 3.0 V6 with DSG and although very nice for city driving when using the auto, it's just not the same as a manual gear box.
