Hi all. Soon-to-be newbie Audi owner here in Melbourne, VIC.

Will be picking up my 2013 (MY14) B8.5 Audi S4 from the dealer this Saturday. Was driven very sparingly by an Audi exec. Only has 1,700km on the clock.

Have been driving a 2000 Mercedes-Benz E320 estate for the past 4 years. Great car, but looking forward to something more modern and with a lot more power Will miss the ample boot space though!!

Look forward to seeing you all around the Forum

RevoWution, hello and welcome to the forum! Great to have you joined us. This site is a tremendous resource due to the members, hope you stick around and find it useful beyond the purchase decision. Make sure to show us your Audi when it arrives.

Thanks for the warm welcome, carid. I'll definitely stick around and will post some pics of the new car after I pick it up on Sat!!

I recently bought my September 2014 S4. I live in UK and its an ex-demo with 2700 miles on clock. I drive to Romania and was pleased to find the MMI Navigator covers all the countries. One question I have is how large is the Jukebox HDD as already loaded 10 x 32GB SDHC cards and several movies in avi xDiv format and shows no total space for storage. Phone contacts show room for 7000 max, with 784 taken.

Audi may or may not help. Where is the HDD situated anyway?

Great to have you on board. You will love the big low-end grunt from the Supercharged V6. It punches way above it's weight in overall feel. My wife has the 2014 in Estoril Blue with the limited slip Diff and we both love canyon carving on the weekends. I have had two S5's and now an RS5. WHile the RS5 is faster, it is also harder to drive fast as it has lots of hp (450), but relatively little torque (317 lb-ft).

There are some wonderful roads in your country with challenging switchbacks and lot's of wet road - real Audi quattro territory. Be sure to let us know if you came stateside as the Audi Club is very active.

Best wishes

I have added an older pic with the S4 and the previous S5 up on the Angeles Crest, which is an heroic set of roads (about 150 miles) that include 5000 ft of elevation changes and twists through the adjacent canyons. My wife Erin is in the S5 for the day as we swap often and compare.
