Cheers Paul, Steve and Niedzial, I guess the general consensus is more power is good and especially when free :) Steve, you are right, it is a friendly bunch of petrol heads here. And sounds like I should take my concerns about extra maintenance costs and reliability to the 'bean counters' forum... 80% sure I will be accepting the upgrade, definitely don't want to wait another 3 to 4 months and can always have the extra Bhp in reserve should I ever feel the need. Cheers

Hello, a new user here, am hoping someone can give me some advice, I recently ordered a new A5 Sportback 2.0 TFSI 190 Bhp, however due to an ordering mix up they are delivering the 252 Bhp version (also non Quattro). This does not seem to have an effect on tax or insurance, and fuel consumption is marginal (who believes those numbers anyway). Does anyone have any thoughts on why I would reject the order and start again. They are offering the car at the 190 Bhp price. I am low mileage, mostly city driving and rarely go above any speed limits so not looking for high performance. Should I be concerned about higher maintenance, servicing, parts costs, reliability or anything else?? Thanks, appreciate any comments
