I am currently paying 486/month for my 05.5 - the 06 WITHOUT cold weather was going to be 535/month!

Default There is NOTHING tweaked on a 2006

If you ask me the salesperson's brain is tweaked.

Default Re: A Fool and His Money [My feelings.]

Because I don't have the benefit of experiencing your circumstanses with comparing the `05.5 with the `06, I'm going to have to be a bit subjective and say that I couldn't be happier with my `05.5 A4 2.0T Quattro (w/Sport Package). The other car I own/drive (or used to drive, since it's been in the garage since the arrival of the A4) is an `04 Lexus SC430, and the A4 is the reason why my SC430 has been sitting in the garage.

Default Is it possible that the two cars had different steering boost settings

My B7 was built in May 2005 (does that make it a 2005.5 or 2006?) and I find that the steering feel in high-speed turns is way too heavy compared to my 2002 B6.

Is it possible that later-built cars have a more neutral steering feel (I understand from the A3 forum that this can be vagged.
