HI all,

I thought id' introduce myself first, I live in Southampton and have recently got a 2016 Audi A4 Avant as the family wagon as we have two children and a whole host of things to cart about for family holidays etc.

I've always wanted an Audi as a family car, We used (well still do) have a Nissan pathfinder which was great for family trips and could tow my race car, but as it was getting a bit old and I was going to hit 40 I was thinking of getting something like a 2017 SQ7 but then life happened and then I ended up having to purchase a new kitchen 🙄 we had a small electrical fire which resulted in having to take the kitchen apart and when we did it was apparent that the whole kitchen needed a full rewire and the cabinets were just falling apart when taking them down, so that took my budget for something family, fun and practical to tow with. So in the end I've kept the Pathfinder for towing and decided on getting an A4 Avant.

Apart from a couple of niggles, I am very happy with the A4. its the Sport Ultra, so doesn't really have many options, I mean my wife will mostly be driving it anyway and she doesn't like all the technology these days anyway so I guess that's good.

I was looking through the history and see that its had a stage 1 re-map, which I wondered why it felt a bit quicker than others I test drove. I do have some niggles with the car I wanted to ask the forum about, but I'll keep that to the technical section. 

Many thanks, I hope to stick around for my Audi Ownership.. I'll try and help where I can too.
