Default New car road trip

So, after 1 week of ownership we took a road trip with some friends.

Just sightseeing in upstate NY, started at 162 miles ended with over 600.
My impressions of the car (2015 A6 Quattro 3.0)?

Fantastic!
Car felt as solid and well under control at 80 as it does at 40.

Quiet, comfortable and powerful (even though I never pushed it, well maybe "a little" after we hit 500 miles on the odo). This car cruises at 1,750 RPM's at 80 MPH.

Took some time to get used to the Nav. It was somewhat of a challenge to find out how to raise the nav's speaker's volume (We named the speaker Gretchen")

I didn't think that the WiFi (Audi Connect? Is this what they call this) had any real value until we used it over and over to find events, skirt traffic, etc. Definetly a winner and I will renew after the 6 month trial!

The trunk swallowed up a 3 satchels of clothes and a ton of flea market, garage sale and art fair purchases.

Love the car.
Hated to give it back to my wife last night

When you get around to renewing the Audi-Connect, you can sign up for 30-months for $450 instead of going month-to-month for $30. Also depending on how much you use it there are other cheaper options, where you Pre-pay by the MB, such as with TruPhone.

I got a chuckle from this. Wife and I just got the same car about a 6 weeks ago. It's her daily driver and I steal it every chance I get! It's now got 1,700 miles on it and I own about 1,500 of those miles!

By the way, it feels like 40 at 112 MPH too!
