My Phantom S5.

Drove to the lakes, did a lap of windermere and coniston in decent weather.
For such a big car, it has huge amounts of grip and the steering is sharp and concise, no understeer.
No understeer?
Either Audi made big improvement to this S5 with that engine as the RS5 V8 car I drove had buckets of understeer,
though you had to push very hard as like you say the Quattro gives a lot of grip, but you go past it and the car just pushes annoyingly so.

It still has understeer but it is better than the old V8. I've pushed ours pretty hard and it still exhibits all of the typical Audi 4WD traits 
Retrofitting cruise control to that era of VAG car is simple enough, PSI Tuning in Stoke can probably do it for you and it won't involved taking the ECU out, it's just a matter of coding it in with VAGCOM once you've fitted the stalk. Oddly enough the 8P A3 isn't priced for that on their site but I had my '08 camper done there for <£200 IIRC.
Would've done it myself but with the cost of VAGCOM and the part it would have been substantially more expensive (albeit an investment) and fitting the stalk meant taking the steering wheel off - and it was in there anyway for a service.
depends on the vehicle for the remap. Most cars are direct port, with the exception of some of the TT-RS and RS3 revisions (2.5tfsi)
Best to ring your nearest apr dealer (http://www.goapr.co.uk/dealer/)
Nearest APR dealer to me is 250km away sadly
The dealer list is growing, keep an eye on that page

I did have to laugh the last time I was looking at the APR website. The Carbonio carbon fibre intake looked well nice, but they split up the airbox and throttle-body pipe into 'stages'

Yea, Im still to figure this out. The 'stage2' bit is a nice bit of extra carbon though

You won't go wrong with Carbonio, I have a few pieces on the Ferrari, excellent quality and the price isn't stupid either.
