Collected my new car yesterday, it was a car coming into dealer stock, spec above what I originally wanted but great discount and a no brainer to take it.
First thoughts .. wow! nuff said
Trying to run it in but finding it very difficult, the dealer said the engines had been on a bench and just go and enjoy it, but I am trying to be sensible, honest.
The car was at the dealers, in the showroom, under the customary silver sheet, revealed and then a quick look around, all appeared to be in order and the car is shod with Pirelli P Zero tyres, this I like as I have a soft spot for Pirelli.
A run through of all the controls and off I went, the salesman said come back during the week with all your questions and we will go through in detail to address them, he figured I would rather play than listen to him going through everything, he was right and full marks for being attentive.
Went out for a run late last night to try the Matrix LED headlights, living on the Lancashire Moors, good lights are important, these things are awesome, I was following a car for a while, my lights were shining down the sides of his car without dazzling him, a very odd sensation but superb.
The drive this morning, very heavy drizzle here today , the VC seemed to be 'shimmering' this reset itself after a ignition reset, obviously something that needs to be mentioned, also the screen must be coated with some crud as the wipers sound like they are on sandpaper and the vision through the screen is blurred as the water isnt clearing, will give that a good clean later, has anyone experience of RainX on Audi screens? I have used it on my previous car and if applied correctly is fine without juddering, the manual does say not to use it though.
120 miles on the clock now, averaged 24mpg with some silly accelerations in there so happy with that, here's a photo to be going on with, I love photography but getting soaked while taking them is no fun so more will follow.
