VAG engine should be grand, though I’ve heard it they like to leak fluids. Shares parts with the Cayenne which might be expensive if Porsche specific but for the most part probably OK tbh.

Going to see this tomorrow, anyone know anything about TFSI engines? That idle in the video doesn't sound right to me, thought it would be a lot quieter but I literally know nothing about TFSI engines other than carbon build up...........

Also, the price seems a little steep considering the mileage.

Think those engines are the ones that suffer timing chain rattle. Engine out job to get at.

Edit: Seems the S5 engine fairs better on this front than the S4 4.2 I was thinking of.

That’s not a TFSI, it’s the 4.2 V8. The later ones were 3.0T.

Id be nervous of chain issues. And the mileage.

I’d have an Aston or a Maserati over one of them at that price. Not pretty cars and have the same interior and seats as a s-line a4 pretty much....

I drove them fairly often in Hursts.
The first night I took one home, I have to say, I didn't really get it. Fast forward to the next morning and I was running a bit late for work and had to push on a bit. It then made perfect sense. For such a huge car, they handle like a Boxster. I couldn't believe the way it changed direction and carried pace through corners. Id have one with PASM tomorrow. Great big car!!

I see these affordable V8s keep appearing and get really tempted but I gotta keep goal focused and get a rust old Nissan instead lol

Never actually realised those came with seats like that. Quite disappointing actually
