Envy

One advantage when buying a car is to not be in too much of a hurry although if the outgoing car is giving notice this is not an option. When I brought my Audi I had the dealer do the looking bringing in a car from another showroom once we had the wish list completed. Some compromising where the car I chose did not have memory package specced but what Audis come with as standard is incredible. My experience with Satnavs are that the inbuilt ones are great compared to dash mount ones from a few years back but with Smart Phone Tech where it is now the built in Nav is not always the best option. Getting a decent Mount for the phone is the challenge.

Hi Vanessa: I don't want to come across as patronising but have you read the manual? The on off button for the Start / Stop is in the row of buttons above the Climate controls, Mine is to the left of the Parking Assist Button. My A6 is a '16 Automatic model and the start stop does not function every time. If you stop at a junction and it is in a condition to stop the engine then you get a green icon on the dash between the dials and the rev counter drops to "ready" (not 0). If stop start is not functioning then the icon between the dash dials will have a strikethrough and be white. When the engine stops look at the rev counter - does it drop to ready? You mentioning pressing the Start button twice would suggest that the car has stopped the engine purposefully and on your first press of the start stop button you have actually "turned of the ignition" with the second press restarting the engine. Is your car auto or manual? With a manual A5 Cab I had on loan it would only stop start when out of gear with clutch released.

Enjoy the New Car - a great feeling.

Just been down your route and wanted to load the payment onto a CC to get the reward points. Dealer I used would only take £1000 on CC due to the Charges they suffer. Your dealer might be more understanding as you are looking to take out Audi finance. I chose not to going for a 3.4% APR deal from a supermarket bank.

Thanks Trevor: Car is beyond my expectations. Was looking at the BMW, Mercedes, Jaguar alternatives but spec and price added up to this one.

Hi Vanessa: You have Start / Stop technology on your A6? Are you sure it is not his causing the engine to "cut out"? Would need more detail of circumstances to be certain. What do you do when you have stopped and the engine is stopped - attempt a restart with the start / stop button? Does this take 2 presses?

So sold a Kidney and splashed out a bit. No more Vauxhall Insignificant for me. S-Line 2.0 litre devil juice burner with the 7 speed Auto. Quattro MMI with Tech Pack and DIS. Heated front seats. Have to say I am well happy. Not only with the Car but also with the Sales and Service peeps at Swindon Audi.
