Regarding more options, sport seats and a rear shade are options on the A6. I have the automatic rear shade option (including manual rear side shades too) and I've seen A6's with sport seats.

Having traded in an M3 for it. I like the car alot, but if I had to list 3 gripes they'd be:

1. MMI -- I've spent alot of time with it, reading and re-reading the manual, programming in addresses, and otherwise figuring it out. I'm not sure I really care about having that level of control though.

2. Touchy accelerator when pulling away from a stop (unexpected, neck-jerking upshift)

3. A few rattles and squeeks -- rattle in passenger-side dash, plus door-frames squeek on rough roads. Never had a single squeek/rattle in the BMW in 70K miles of ownership.

No rear shades on S6..you're right about sport seats!

rattles are not normal, get them fixed! my car is silent with 36k miles on NE roads.

Every car I've owned and every car I've been in has had some rattles or creaks. Of course, some vehicles are worse than others. The new MB S Class I sat in was a complete rattle trap. The entire front passenger seat would visibly vibrate on rough roads if no one was sitting in it.

and all this BS about, "Well, if you didn't buy it from here, we're going to put it at the end of the line or not give the optimum service for a high line vehicle" is simply unacceptable.

They all rattle, its just a question of what someone views as quiet enough to be "rattle free"

1. Twitchy throttle response
2. Touchy brakes at low speed

That's it for real gripes.

1. Windows stuck when the tempreture drops from + to -
2. Gas lid freezes
3. Car is getting very dirty very fast (lack of protective covers specially when I put my winter tires)
