So after Audi forgot quattro last time, I've now got the car I ordered.

I love it !

The quattro is as expected i.e. you just go faster with no fuss and no more scrabbling for grip.

Really prefer the Aruba Blue to the Meteor Grey but then I'm colour blind so just ignore this if you don't agree

B & O is better than the MY2009. The DSP seems to work so much better and the radio reception is definately improved.

3G MMI - it's a great improvement. It's so much more than just 3D buildings

I'm already a big fan of the power tailgate.

I am missing the S-line badge on one wing which is a bit of a concern but I'll wait for the dealers response.

I know there's a few things we get different so I'll try and capture them (I think!)

[1] It's a 2.0T Avant manual
[2] It's got Start Stop which works really well and energy recouperation under braking
[3] Rear LED lights
[4] Power tailgate (do you get this)
[5] Folding/dimming wing mirrors
[6] Load rail system
[7] Adaptive lights
[8] Factory tint
[9] Stainless exhuast tips - which it seems sometime you get and sometimes not regardless of your country !!

The UK's S-line pack is an add on to lower specs rather than just a body kit and suspension e.g. it includes Xenons etc.

So in addition to what's standard on the UK car I then added thse options :

19" 7 arm double spoke wheels
Full Misano black leather (pics make it look grey)
B & O
3G Sat Nav
Cruise
AMI
Adaptive Lights
Heated Front seats
Parking Plus (front and rear sensors)
Storage pack (seat back nets, locking glove box, etc)
Lighting pack (glove box light, footwells, puddle lights etc)
Rear side blinds
Load rails
Folding/dimming mirrors
Rear side airbags
TPMS
and
a reversible load liner/fender protector.

I'm really happy with the outcome. Shame the pics are of a filthy car (I'm waiting to have it detailed so I told the dealer not to clean it) and the weather was very dull but this is the UK !

p.s. The 59 in the number plate signifies the car was registered in the second part of 2009. This registration number came out on the 1st September so it was worth me waiting to get it as it helps the residual.

Striking! Thanks for the photos.

Finally!

Looks like you are happy.

Damn you and your folding mirrors! :P

Nice! Wish we got all those features too here!

has the B&O changed here in the states from MY2009 to MY2010?

Scotty, how much do you want for the steel tips? I'll send you some unmarked bills if that's what it takes! I wonder if we can get those state side finally? I'll have to go to my dealer.

I wish we could get the factory tint (privacy glass) here in the States. They let us have it on SUVs but there must be some law against having it on cars because I've never seen a car offered in the US with privacy glass from the factory, except maybe a limousine.

$250 and they're yours. Alternatively you could just buy them from Audi a lot cheaper :

£54 so probably about $50-60.

Note : only for the 2.0T

I would get those tips if they were $50. But here I think they're more like $150.
