I've been driving my A4 2.8QMS 99.5 for about a month now. A few things I've noticed.

-The stick is not as smooth as I had hoped but hopefully that will change after more use.

-I love the subtle bumps on the sport steering. Perfectly placed when your left arm is in line with the arm rest.

- The 2.8 is not a speed demon. Sure I get beat off the mark by Integras, Grand Ams etc...but I get my kicks in the admiring stares I get.

BTW, is there a way to have the radio on without the daytime foglights on?
