Well, I got all the options I wanted except NAV, but hey, the 2k extra in my wallet makes me feel better about not finding one with it. Front plate filler is already ordered. What can I say except that I love the car! The 2.0T is incredible, the steering is incredible, the ride is wonderful, and the handling is so much better than that of the B5 S4 I once had. I've been averaging about 24 - 25mpg in mixed city/highway driving which is excellent considering its only got 170 miles on it. I'll calculate the REAL MPG once the first tank is done and see how accurate it is. Its so nice to be back in the Audi family. Hope you enjoy the pics and please excuse the sensor dust that just showed up in time for these pics :(

Hey Zerin,

Didn't you own a B5 Imola S4 few years back? If so, what happened to your red GTI?

Good choice! I test drove a B7 A4, and I loved it. Though the clutch was different from my B6 A4. Smooth ride, right? =) Enjoy the 2.0T, and let us know what you think of the new upgraded engine! =)

<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/90682/a4grilletrim.jpg"></center><p>Check it out: on the right side of the picture, there's an opening next to the foglight; on the left, it's covered over in charcoal colored plastic (the same plastic that surrouonds the foglights.

Note that Zerin's has BOTH open. IF you shine a light up in there, you can see radiator fins. I'm a little concerned because the covered side is the same side as the turbo. Any idea if it's easy to pop these lil plastic covers out?

the two 2.0T Avants I saw had both sides missing. Called my salesman and he confirmed the same with the 2.0T sedan in the showroom. Called service and service said he saw 2.0Ts on the lot with only one missing.

Fact is, it looks dumb with only one side missing. But I can flash a light into the hole on the driver's side and see the intercooler radiator fins, so at least that's getting air.

If i recall the S-line had the twin IC setup and the 190 bhp 1.8 litre. Somebody correct me if I am mistaken.

Great photos, gotta get something good this weekend if the weather is nice.

Question for you regarding to the sport suspension ... how many finger gap approximately on your front and rear? I got about 3'ish on the front and 2'ish on the back. Gap is definetly less on the rear compared to my old 2001 A4 which had the factory sports suspension also.

really seems to be a B6.5.
i know there are mechanical differences, but it is still SOOO similar, i don't count it as new in my mind.
