2009 Avant pics
 

Hi All,

I'm new to the Audi world and since we're all so proud of our cars I thought I would share some pics of my new baby. NAV/Sport/Tech/B&O.

Audi Forum - Audi Forums for the A4, S4, TT, A3, A6 and more! - cory_can's Album: 2.0T B8 Avant

It has 17" winter wheels/tires in the pics but I have some 18" waiting for better weather. I've tinted and had a full front Ventureshield clear bra installed.
With help from 'Sonic's' Magnnflow discount I'll be adding a cat back system in the coming weeks and I plan on a sprintbooster and GIAC software upgrade in the spring. After that.....who knows.....(it's addictive). The car is already sweet but I just want to make it better/faster etc.

I LOVE this wagon!!!

Re: 2009 Avant pics

i'd pick that over a BMW for my future wife to house the kids any DAY.

j/k :)
love it!

Re: 2009 Avant pics

Re: 2009 Avant pics
 

Gorgeous car! I totally agree that red was the way to go! Congrats! :thumb:

...35 in the front, 18 all around the back.

Re: 2009 Avant pics
 

Yeah....they sorted the front spoiler out pretty nicely on the '09's. Althought it kinda sucks that the SLINE isn't an option on the Avant's in Canada (it is in the US).

I was willing to wait for an S4 Avant until I found out Audi has no plans to bring them to NA......It feels like a third world country :)

Call me crazy for only wanting a wagon......I just love the way they look.

As for the colour....I've seen a bunch of '09 wagons and red was just THE colour to get. Silver looks good on B6/B7 wagons but for some reason B8 wagons look best in red (or white)......and I saved $700 :)

Re: 2009 Avant pics
 

Nice looking car! Congrats. Are those aftermarket 17" wheels pictured? Could you provide details. Brand and source? Thanks.

Re: 2009 Avant pics
 

Thanks for the comments.

Yeah....I was looking for some inexpensive winter wheels and these turned out to be not bad looking after all. They're very close in appearance to the stock 18's I have for the summer.

tirerack.com (17x7.5 Bright Silver Paint Sport Edition SE-14)

They were on sale for $89 each a few months back when I bought them.

Re: 2009 Avant pics
 

Thanks for the great photos. Looks great in RED.
I'm waiting for mine.....Avant Premium with Sport, Technology and Nav pakages; Ibis white on Cardamon Beige/wood.
I've just ordered Orange Electronic's TPMS with 4 extra sensors. TPMS is critical for me and I almost did not order this car because Audi does not offer TPMS on the A4 line in Canada....silly...it's mandatory in the US on all cars.
I expect delivery in May.

Re: 2009 Avant pics
 

I've seen a white '09 Avant around my area and they look slick. It was the other colour I was considering. Mine is similarly equipped but I really hope you also opted for the B&O system.....it's WELL worth what they're asking for the option. It's really an incredible factory stereo. Overall the wagon is a beautiful machine and you'll be thoroughly happy and not getting it based on the TPMS would have been a big mistake. The lack of TPMS was a small let down for me as I check my tires fairly regularly. Let me know how the Orange system works out....I was eying it on tirerack when I ordered my winters wheels/tires.

Re: 2009 Avant pics
 

I ordered the Orange TPMS from Tire Rack at US$159 for the kit. The extra sensors were $27 x 4 for my winter tires. I have two other cars with direct TPMS, '02 Jeep Grand Cherokee and '07 Porsche Cayman S, and it's nice to be able to see the actual pressures at each tire on demand. I'm hooked and can't do without knowing.

Re: 2009 Avant pics
 

When you get the Orange system would you mind sending me the exact dimensions of the receiver unit (length/width/depth)? I'd like to see if I can integrate it in the factory ashtray location under the sliding door.

BTW....my brother has a '08 Cayman S....it's a sweet ride.

Here's a guy with a Porsche that's installed the system:
Installed aftermarket TPMS - Check it out - RennTech.org Forums

Thanks

Re: 2009 Avant pics
 

I will do that. I think there is a 12V outlet in the center console and that's where I thought I would leave it. Your idea of the ashtray sounds good too. I will try both and see.
Thanks Cory.

Re: 2009 Avant pics
 

Nice pics! I am jealous...I am trying to decide to either buy a new A4 2009 Avant or a BMW 2006 530XI....Bimmer is cheaper...however the Avant is a sexy car.

Re: 2009 Avant pics
 

Funny you should say that... I was also deciding between a '06 530xi touring and the Audi. I'm very happy with my decision. The Bmw is certaintly a nice machine but with the Audi I had a full warranty and the Audi 2.0t has a ton of potential. The Audi also had all the latest tech that I wanted.

Re: 2009 Avant pics
 

Wow amazing colour on the avant.

I'm just waiting for these to start coming out onto the used market in a few years....awesome wagon. Don't know why but I prefer the A4 avant look to the sedan now
