Did I like it?

I F****ING love it! :love2:
The gearbox! Say no more! The smoothes sharpest and quickest I have ever tried!
Big suprise was the parking system advanced. Not only a camera but also graphics in the picture that lets me know where the car will go when I turn the steering wheel. Amazing!
The engine. Ohh my Good the engine! OK its not a RS4 but so smooth and with so much bottom end grunt! No hesitation at all when you put the foot down. It even sounds agressive even though it's a diesel.:0:
The Bang Olufsen sound system is awesome. So much "air" in the sound and clarity! Perhaps a bit more low end bass is needed but for the HIFI listener it is perfect.

Since my last car was a RS4 B7 and I also drive a 997 GT3 RS I was worried that I'd feel this car boring but it isn't. Its a beast in disguise!

Looks absolutely superb, great choice as I said before.

CONGRATULATIONS! :thumb:

[The RS6]

Very nice, I like it alot, congrats and enjoy it...

[andreadebi]

very nice car,congrats from Italia :)

[Zyklon5]

The car is hands down gorgeous. Congrats ! The summer tires are the same size ?

I would have liked a friskier color to showcase the car's silhouette but color is a very personal business.

[The Pretender]

I really like the A5 sportback 3.0TDI.
With the MTM Cantronic it get 310 hp.

The summertires are 19" 5 x triple spoke quattro gmbh, About the same design as standard RS6 but in bright silver.

Am I wrong or you did not choose optional steering wheel with shifting paddles?

I drove A5 same as yours with paddles and it kills total experience IMHO. Of course, S Tronic works very, very nice indeed. BUT, IMO paddles are a must for manual mode.

I did select the options with paddles but the Audi dealer forgot to order it :vgrumpy:.It will be retrofitted. It was the most importent option on my list and the only reason why I accepted to switch to an automatic gearbox! It will cost them about 1500euro to fix this problem.

I don't know if it's of any comfort but be glad you live in a country where such matters are taken care of, in my country things are only sped up or fixed by mails to Audi AG. Dealers haven't really understood each client's value since for the last ten years the sales doubled every couple years, one client exits the dealership two others enter, maybe the economic downturn will teach them a lesson or two.

Consider it your first mod..:)

Congrats and looks very sharp!

I have seen one today in real life. and I have to say, it looks fantastic!!! It''s such a nice car, especially the back of the car. The one I saw was a 3.0tdi S Line version. It looks gorgeous!!
