Oh sorry, I did misunderstand. It's funny because the only reason I got the Night Vision is I came from a BMW with a HUD and considered seeing the speed limit on the HUD to be a must-have feature (so...

IMO this obsession over the fact that the NV display is on the instrument cluster and you "have to look down" to use it is really overblown. It's relatively quick to scan the instrument cluster to...

You might as well buy a portable FLIR camera and mount that on your windshield at night… A bunch of speed countermeasures folks do this to spot cops parked at night.

I drove both the 2.0T and 3.0T back to back. Honestly, the power is more than adequate in the 2.0T. For the average driver, it's more than adequate. And even as a previous owner of a 2011 A4 2.0T, I...

Yes, any time the ACC applies the brakes, your brake lights come on.

Note that the A6 does have hill descent control, but it only activates it on more severe grades. For a 2% grade, the car...

The C7 implementations are of somewhat limited use, and while it's a nice-to-have feature, if it weren't bundled with the HUD (a much more useful feature), I would not consider paying more than...

Yeah, I think it depends on your personal preferences. I do agree that turning up surround makes the music sound less "natural", but at the same time it does seem to widen the stereo effect in a way...

I'm guessing they use some pretty aggressive launch tactics. The main problem with the TDI in my test drive is that it behaved much like a big brother of the 2.0T.... Once it spools up it hauls, but...

Turn surround up to max for sure.

For sound focus, try either Driver or Movie. Some people like the "cinematic" experience of the movie mode (vocals tend to get focused to center stage, where the...

The equipment/options of a $40k+ optioned A3 is really not comparable to an A4. The fully loaded A4 S-Lines in my local showroom seemed to be over $50k at this point.

Dude this is not a dealer conspiracy, it's to prevent you from catching on fire later on (and then probably suing Audi over it).

It's a lithium ion battery and if subject to shock, regardless of...

I thought the Premium Plus interior was good but not standout. The Premium dealer service loaner models that first came in were pretty bad. The interior features/appearance felt almost Jetta-like.

Nice! I'm guessing you guys drive mostly highway?

When I do road trips I get around 27-30 (measured at the pump). For my day to day commute traffic, I get around 20 at the pump.

I sure hope it does. With so many economical gas engines and even turbocharged ones reaching PZEV now, I think it's time for diesel emissions to step it up a notch :)

Nice job! You guys got it. This info is better than Carfax or Autocheck provides. And I even bought a subscription to each to track what happened to my beloved car.
