    ...and here it is. A5 SportBack delivered today!

    Here it is. My new A5 SB 3.0 TDI Quattro S-Line S-Tronic Sport diff.

    These are the 18" winter wheels thats mounted on the car right now. It´s -15C outside today! Thats could even in Sweden.
    (yes I am a lousy photographer)































    Did I like it?

    I F****ING love it!
    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.
    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!

    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.

    Congratulations on the Sportback. A great looking car and a superb addition to the Audi lineup - and your stable of cource

    (Had the chance to drive the 3.2 FSI in Norway during the Audi Efficiency Challenge)

    The new 7 speed S-tronic is just magic.

    As to weather situation: -12°C here in Austria

    Thanks!

    I have never felt any difference with a 2 zone AC. Its just annoying.

    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.
