MCRN

traded in the '11 A4 Avant (with assistance from audi due to a sunroof frame creaking issue that took a year to fix!) for a '13 Prem + DSG w/ NAV, B&O, Sport Diff, Adv Key and 19"

Obviously is difficult to compare the two, but a few things I have noticed on the '13 facelift compared to the B8 original:

1. Front wheel well liners are no longer the textured cloth (smooth plastic), only rear wheel well has the textured cloth (not sure what prompted this chance at audi???)

2. Facelift is starting to grow on me, I still prefer the previous led running lights, found them more unique. Still not liking the fog light design, much prefer the old (not to mention the new design holds water like a sponge after washing - I have started using the leaf blower just to run the water out of the plastic honeycomb).

3. Interior is much improved. Hope this one holds up better regarding rattles than my last. Wondering when, if at all, the cool factor of the google features will wear off.

4. Hands down best feature of this car is the sport diff - should be standard.

Still miss the avant form factor, but thouroughly enjoying this car. Only issue so far is some whistling/wind noise at highway speeds from the A/C vents when pulling in fresh air. Sound disappears when I go to recirc; sounds like an issue that probably won't ever get fixed! Doubt its normal, my B8 avant did not do this.

Congrat! I like the 2013 interior better than the 2010-2012 but I like the exterior of the 2010-2012 better than the 2013....although the 2013 exterior is starting to grow on me maybe just a little. Enjoy!
