    now i've added audi to my collection

    I would recommend buying a Carista OBD dongle and the VAGDPF app (about $50 in total) to monitor your DPF (tells you how full it is, how long since last regen, soot level and notifies you when the car is doing a regen).

    Well worth the small outlay.

    It’s a shame the RS5 wasn’t available in the manual.

    Yeah, manuals are more fun!
    This is the Carsales ad

    It’s strange that most of the S5 that I have looked at don’t have folding mirrors or memory seats, this one did. And the uptake of other options like blind spot, adaptive cruise, heated seats were not very popular here... weird..

    Not sure mate - the OBD11 adapter is not listed as being compatible but you never know. There is a free version of the app with limited functionality so you could try that.

    That's a lot of car for $25k. Has the carbon interior trim too = bonus. The standard silver interior trim looks very boring.

    Along with home link.
    I don’t think I’ve ever seen an Audi with home link in Australia, and it’s the only option I really want.
