B8 Avant
Just picked the Avant a few days ago. What a great car! Wish the B&O sound system has the HD radio option. Can't wait until the break-in period to be over to chip it.

Avant's rock
. Very quiet highway cruiser but growels nicely when you get on it. 2.0T is really a very nice motor. Averaging 26 MPH with mixed driving. B&O sound systems is first class. Great car for cruising up to the mtn for some skiing. I put on 4 Dunlop Wintersport tires for snow season. Use some caution and it's unstoppable. Also perfect for my mtn biking lifestyle. Looks better than the sedan by a longshot IMO. It is a keeper.

I almost pulled the trigger on a new exhaust and front mount intercooler from A.W.E. but the cost was around $2,600. I spend too much money.
2 things i dont like about the car, FYI. The wipers are great for rain but useless in snow/ice. Total hazard. There are no winter blade options. And the rubber door seals need to be conditioned frequently to prevent squeaks. I use Maquires Tech Protect Interior. It is thick, clear, slippery stuff. Soak a small kitchen sponge and apply on door and frame seals.

Any pics of the new ride? I am considering an Avant as my next purchase once my CC is paid off. How is the tiptronic transmission in them? Not much of an auto transmission guy and would prefer the S tronic transmission.
