Hello Everyone - New 2001 A4 Quattro owner
Hello from Waterloo,
I picked up my 2011 A4 Quattro automatic on July 31st, 2010.
Prestige Premium (Nav + B&O).
Very happy with the car so far:
- Handling is certainly better than the TSX.
- The B&O stereo exceeded expectations; simply incredible.
- Really love the Nav system. Way better than the Garmin's and Tom Toms I've been used to.
- Interior fit an finish is excellent.
- Mileage has been very good with the 8 speed although the 6 speed I test drove seemed a bit faster.
- I wish there was a way to get the better seats without buying the S-line as I don't want 19 inch rims. I have a friend with a Acura TL with low profile tires and he's had two bent rims.
My previous vehicle was the Acura TSX (super reliable). I was going to get another one, but they ruined the exterior and interior and the handling just didn't compare the the other cars I drove (Lexis IS 250 AWD, BMW 328i, etc..).
I buy my vehicles and keep them 5-6 years. I am a l little nervous about the long term reliability of the Audis so I bought the 7yr extended warranty. I also bought Audi Care package.
3800 kms on it so far. Really babied it for the first 2K. Oil consumption is at about 1/8 litre.
I am a techie type guy and am excited to learn all there is about my new car.
