Picked it up last friday, black on black with Premium pack, Heated Steering Wheel and 19" Wheels. Got it from Riverside Audi. Those guys are the best, Sean Rajan the Owner, Arun Nebhnani (my salesperson), Al Riveria the finance manager and Allen Greenfield the new car manager, and Dawn the internet and business developmement manager.

I must say it was the most pleasant experience.

Bar none, the best car i have ever owned and driven. The interior lighting at night is incredible. The LED lights in the door handles, the car is so sweet, especially the power assist closing doors, and its quick it feels quicker than my 2006 A6 4.2.


Unfortunately 4 days after getting it the check engine light came on. I work in manhattan, so i decide to go take it to Zumbach to get it checked out. That was on Tuesday, its Thursday and the car is still at Zumbach with no loaner vehicle even offered, i suppose since i did not have an appointment. Apparently the leak detection pump failed, and they have to order a new one.

This is my 7th Audi, so it is not very surprising that the check engine light came on.

Anyway i hope to get the car back tommorrow in time for the weekend.
