I'd be the same. I've started looking at the Audi car transporters driving along the roads near the Port of Tyne looking to see if my car is on it
The next three days will be so long! Good luck for the handover.Have agreed to take delivery on Tuesday morning - can't wait
We need PicturesHave agreed to take delivery on Tuesday morning - can't wait
All went really well today - very happy with Dundee Audi and the customer service. Just really nice, relaxed and informal
Went in around 11am and was away by 12pm - went over all the finance paperwork, car delivery in the separate handover room, and the salesman (Shaun) spent time explaining various features of the MMI and car to my wife whilst I had a good look over the rest of the car
Car ended up getting blocked in the handover room by another salesman doing a demo of a Q2 to another customer, so a few words were mutttered by my salesman so we could get on our way, hahaha
First impressions?
Anyway, here's a few pics from today - tomorrow will be spent giving it a deep clean and wax
- Build quality seems really good - no obvious creaks, rattles or anything
- 1.4 petrol engine seems responsive enough and the S-Tronic works well. Sits just over 1800 rpm at 70mph
- Set myself up with Audi Connect and it's all working fine. Downloaded the iPhone app, and even working on the Apple Watch, so at least the much heard about problems about activation seem to have not affected my registration
- Technology Pack with Virtual Cockpit really is easy to use - spent a little time when I got home setting it all up, and combining it with the live traffic info/Google Earth graphics/Audi Connect data feeds
- The suspension is the normal S-Line spec on the standard 245/35 19 inch wheels (albeit I understand this is now tuned to UK tastes than a bone-shaking Autobahn spec) - seems to to handle broken tarmac pretty well and certainly isn't harsh or uncomfortable
- Tyres are Continental SportContact 6 on mine
- Nice touch on the wheels - there is a laser marked Audi Sport logo on each wheel - hadn't seen these before on the few pics available so far
- Piano Black trim looks classy, but will be a magnet for dust and finger prints
- Half leather/Alcantara seats are brilliant - really good combo and very comfortable
- Heated steering wheel is very nice - I really like the compact airbag design as well compared to the larger airbag on the old A6
Tell her she should've bought some gloves instead. That flat bottomed wheel looks sweet.
The first job is to dog-proof the boot, which is in course. In the A6, we put down a layer of sticky backed plastic onto the boot floor and sides, which prevents any dog hairs sticking in the carpet or a wet smelly dog from damaging the carpets - did the first portion last night. It's completely waterproof that way, and makes hoovering out a breeze, so it has always been the plan right from day one for the A4
The clear vinyl easily peels off leaving fresh undamaged carpet underneath. If the vinyl gets scratched or damaged, just peel it off and stick a new section on. The A6 boot looked like new when we handed it back yesterday.
Once I do the sides, I'll then stick the dog mats, etc back in which go on top of the vinyl
I've also got the genuine Audi load lip vinyl protector to fit on a dry day also
That looks smart as f*ck.Great weather today, so got a lot of jobs done for the new car. I'm really happy with the car now that I've had a good chance to look over it. Even just little things like the tinted rear lights, gloss black sideskirts and laser etched logos on the wheels make a little difference to the looks
Boot now fully dog proofed and the clear vinyl bumper protector fitted - so first time in the car for its most important passenger
Car fully deep cleaned and waxed. Usual routine of contaminant remover on wheels and bodywork (Dodo Juice Ferrous Bueller), followed by a degrease/detar of all panels (Autosmart Tardis), followed by a snowfoam and handwash, cleaning all door shuts and engine bay also- as you can see the contaminant remover removed a lot of contaminants off of the car and wheels, turning purple as it does its thing
Given that it's so new and white mostly hides any swirling, I didn't bother machine polishing the car. Quick prep of all panels with a pre-wax cleaner (Dodo Juice Lime Prime) and ended up putting two coats of wax on the car (Dodo Juice Supernatural), put some rain repellant on all exterior glass (Carlack Glass Sealant). Carpet mats treated with Scotch-Gard spray, Haven't put any wax/sealant on the wheels yet but the tyres were wiped with two coats of dressing
