Default picked up my 2016 2.0 P+ last night

got the premium plus with LED headlights, sports package, Bose, and cold weather. first impressions...LED headlights are awesome. Interior LED's are awesome but the overhead interior lights are all incandescent(will be replaced soon with LEDs).

biggest concern for me is that there is a weird noise coming from the front end of the car at highway speeds(60 mph +). taking it in today to see what's going on as I didn't notice that sound when I test drove the car.

driving in S mode with dynamic setting is quicker than my 2013 B8 A4.

the start/stop is annoying and am going to spend some time on VCDS and try to disable that permanently. I do mostly highway driving. Also the 2016 A6 comes with the window/moonroof control with the keyfob which I had to manually turn on for my B8 A4 through VCDS.

nice upgrade overall other than the weird noises from the front. interior is just so nice. much quieter as well compared to my A4 which makes that noise coming from the front even that much more concerning.

Audi Connect is nice and like the new A3s, you can download the iOS app to connect the two together.

when in Sport mode vs. Drive, it's great...quicker than my 2013 B8.5 A4 which is crazy because the car is much bigger and heavier probably.

When in Drive mode, it's boring. I'm in 5th gear at like 30mph...haha.

First of all, congrats on your nice ride.

I am wondering where you can find the LED bulbs and the clear covers to replace the interior lights? is it difficult to remove the covers? Thanks

I got the LED's from tunerdomes but just used the covers that came with the car. I don't know where to get the clear covers that are on the Prestige trim level. I actually like the current covers vs. the clear covers.
