    Evening gents,

    I'm in the market for an A5 cab. Seen a couple I'm going to be viewing. One's a MY15 S Line Special edition plus 177bhp 35000 miles and the other a MY14 S Line Sepecial Edition 50000 miles.

    The write up on both is pretty vague, can anyone ashed any light on the model differences and how they stack against my current MY10 A6 S Line Le Mans

    Also, the obvious 27bhp aside is there much difference driving wise between the two and does it really warrant the extra £2.5k for the 177 model. Are the engines the same block but with a different MAP on the ECU? Is one mechanically more desirable than the other (fault/repair/maintenance wise not BHP)

    Cheers guys

    I think things like turbo and injectors might be different. Mechanically? Both sound units and apart from the power the big difference is mpg. I get between 47 - 52, missus consistently gets 60 plus.

    Prety sure the 177 will have a bigger turbo so will take longer to spool up.

    If you are doing a lot of town work, which I imagine you do if a cab, the 150 will give better pick-up & almost certainly better MPG.

    Well went today to test drive the pair. Unfortunately I didn't even look at the 150 as the 177 literally stole the show

    I
    think it's an "exclusive" colour as I've never seen an A5 with such a heavy metallic finish to it
