The only pisser for me is that because I'm 6'3" and I like the steering wheel full back and down, I can't see the bloody indicator warning lights on the dash 'cos they're behind the top of the wheel. If the engine is screaming or the excellent stereo is loud, I have sometimes left the indicator on, like a cock.

No other issues. It is amazing.....

Very good point Mike. I'm 6'3" and have the same problem. It's not a major irritant, but, I have noticed a number of times that it is completely obscured by the steering wheel.

I would have thought that the Germans aren't generally a nation of sub 6 footers, so it is something that I would have thought they would have detected during development.

My previous C6 3.0 TDI didn't have the same prob because the steering wheel was possibly larger.

Don't you get that blip every time you change down using the paddles too?

2. I'm a bit meh about the standard pipes. Seriously considering Milteks and a tune-up.
3. It's a great noise and is to be enjoyed, in anger, wherever it is legal so to do.
4. Sport mode is my once or twice a day treat and that blip is part of the grin-inducing package.
5. I've got the ceramic brake option and they took a bit of getting used to. Awesome when warm, scary when cold. The lack of brake dust is a godsend though.
6. Can't see a use for that sport suspension setting outside of a track or without a gumshield.
7. Haven't had that problem yet.
8. I think I could probably live in the saloon boot.

The adaptive cruise is OK in 50mph average speed check zones, that's pretty much the only place I use it.

The TV function is great, I just want the kids to be able to watch Timmy while we're moving.

I looked at the M5 but I thought it was ugly. I actually bought a Nissan GTR but it was too small in the back, even for a five and two year old.
I pretty much agree with these comments, however I do not find the seats bad at all, if anything need more lateral support

Wish I had cermics!!!

Sports suspension can be used on these roads when making good progress it helps :lol:

As for adaptive cruise control, swithc it on all the time, just put it in standby, brilliant device, throws out radar to see whats in front and laser to find distance,shame that hey officer :<beep>_you:

THE only major gripe, apart from the boot issue is the Sat Nav is totally crap. Not got the 3D new one with hard drive but it is shocking. Audi should pay the liscence fee for full post code search it is a joke
Tom Tom is a possible option but am embarressed to use it :oops:

Apart from that I owuld have another one, just more modern Sat Nav. Microsoft get taken to court if they insist the OS has IE in it, Audi should have it so we can fit Alpine or something!!!
Can't beat a bit of boost!

I don't know how's yours. I have the last one and I have to say it's great.
I really love it. I liked the Lexus too, but this one is much better.
I guess they made a big improvement over the previous version.
