It has an eight speed gear box but it is better to use the peddles to get the most out of it. It is better to leave it in sport mode as the engine can get a little bit dreary. It handles like a go kart, probably the best handling for an Audi other than the big four wheel one as it is only front wheel drive. The suspension is a bit hard because it hasn't got air suspension on the standard model but you can have it on the top models , you have to pay for for it, which I would recommend. But apart from that is it excellent for a courtesy car, but personality I wouldn't have one. For an everyday car I wouldn't have it I would pay a bit more and get the A8 because its a much better car. It has air con and sat-nav as standard but it only have a part leather interior but I would have the full leather as it looks better and it much more comfortably and it better to drive.
end of report.

Don't go for the 1.4 model as it is disastorously underpowered. if you do go on the motorway with the 1.4 then keep it in second gear for the entry of the motorway its better for the slip road. keep it in 2nd gear until you hit the red line. there are better engines in the range please completley ignore the 1.4 apart from that it drives alright.

Limited top speed 155 mph
Torque 384 lb-ft.
0-62 is 4.5
It drives extremely well for a BMW M series. When I took it on the motorway, I had it in M mode which meant that the limiter was disengaged. You have to be a very confident driver to be able to drive in M mode. While in this mode you can overtake with no problems and its great for leaving cars behind on the motorway, nothing will keep up with you as this car can be aggressive. The M mode enables you to turn this car in to executive racing car. This is the most fun I've had in a BMW M series.
If you have the opportunity to test drive one then I highly recommend doing so because its a fantastic car, but make sure its the old model from 2005 to 2008 onward.

I have driven it now you have to keep the RPM up above 5000. it drives really well if you keep the revs up, but please don't let the revs drop below 5000 otherwise you have had it; there is just no power...it dies.
I will let you know when I have been on the motorway with the car and keep you updated, but for now that's it.

You get a sat nav system that sometimes turns itself off. This is a common fault and the cure is to stop the car, get out, lock it, unlock it, get back in and start the engine again.
