First Audi -- First Allroad -- Loving Both!
#11
Okay, I thought I would give a 3500 mile checkin. Just completed a 250 mile trip from Minneapolis to Sioux Falls SD and got 34mpg down and 36mpg back (all using the trip computer).
We are using ACC almost consistently now and had to go to the Individual drive select to make ACC more aggressive. The dynamic setting is perfect to ensure Mpls drivers don't try to sneak between me and the car in front.
Headlights are great, HUD is one of my favorites, navigation routing has to be tricked now and then, Google maps is so cool, and we keep finding little Easter eggs all over the car. The most recent is the backing up in rainy weather. If the front wipers wipe, then the back will automatically wipe when you go into reverse. Then, when you turn on the back wiper, there is a little red light that illuminates on the end of the stalk.
We upgraded all four puddle lights to the Audi rings. That was fun to watch our two older boys see it without being told. Yes, not necessary, but sure is neat.
Ask if you have any questions. I can tell you that we are as happy now as we were the first weekend we got it. I still can't get over how much fun it is to drive...both for an engine and also for the suspension.

The adaptive cruise control on my S3 works as it should but one finds themselves matching the slower speed of the vehicle in front invisibly for miles if one isn't attentive to it. I turned off the active lane assist and rarely use it. My highway trips are pretty short as a rule here in the city.
Almost went with the Nougat Brown interior as you did, but went for that lighter Rock Gray to brighten the interior, as black is so common and frankly, I'm tired of black interiors.
I love the power of my S3, the brakes and the handling, but will not miss the harsh ride and the smallish interior. Am very much anticipating the quiet and smoothness the Allroad will bring.
