Hi all,

I am planning to order the car with the Prestige Trim. I was wondering if it's worth it to get the sunshade option. Basically it's not something that I need but does it make the interior feel "better"? Does it add more "luxury feel" to the car?

Any advice is appreciated.


Thanks,
Jacky

I don't know whether it adds a more "luxury feel" to the car and thats not why I ordered it, but I do think its great and keeps the car cooler on hot days. Protects the interior too.

A friend had one of those shades that you can stick up by the windshield. On the back of it it said: "Do Not Attempt to Drive With Shade in Place!"

He swears it's true.

I have seen people put signs in the inside of the shade with some choice words. Should you ever be cut off by, say, a BMW driver, simply get in front of him/her, and push a button to let them know how you feel.

But I don't think it adds any luxury

I got them to protect the interior and keep the car cooler being in a sunny state like California. It doesn't add any more luxurious feel and they can at times make a little bit of noise.

Does not add any luxury to the car, but it is a nice convenience feature for privacy and protection from the heat. Passengers definitely appreciates it.

Thanks for all the insights. Does anyone have any pictures of the shades? I saw the ones on audiusa.com and i liked the rear. Not so much about the side shades.

The side shades hide away when not in use. I saw them at my local dealer and really liked them. Sorry I don't have any pics but I too will be ordering them.

In summary, if you likes shades in general like I do, Audi has done the job quite nicely.
