After two months of waiting, my 2011 A4 finally arrived yesterday. I got a Quartz Gray/Light Gray Premium Plus with 8-speed auto, Sport Package, nav, and B&O. As much as I enjoyed my Mazda 6, there is obviously no comparison between the two cars. Since I spent part of the day detailing the interior, I haven't had much time to drive it yet. Hopefully, I'll be able to get a feel for it tomorrow. Here's a few pics:

Looks beautiful! You are one of the few smart enough to know how good the A4 is and gobble one up. Enjoy!

Awesome, congrats!
I'm close to ordering almost the exact same options. What brand of tires are on yours?

Gorgeous. Congrats!

Mine came with the Pirelli P7 Cinturato. I am going to be putting on Continental ExtremeContact DWS next month for the winter, so I won't have the summer tires on for long.

Nice looking car. I almost ordered that color, but I did change from the original P7 to DWS tires.

I put Conti Extreme Contact DWS on my wife's Lexus IS 250 last winter and I have to tell you I'm disappointed. The tires look good and the grip is decent, the price is a killer. The noise is the problem. I saw some reviewers mention noise, but I didn't think it would matter.
Because of the asymmetrical pattern the tires emit some odd noise especially when you are turning (even on a highway) and as the corner radius changes, the noise changes too and of course it depends on the type of pavement. The first few times I heard that I was - WTF, we got a flat tire or what?

Go with other tires is my recommendation. I have some Toyo's on my car - not stellar by the reviews but don't have this problem and I'm happy with them.

I don't notice any strange noises on my DWS tires. Must be related to the road?

I ordered my A4 with the sport package too (ETA in January'11). I asked the dealer to get me all-season tires instead of the summer ones. Will see if they can do anything about that. The exact same wheels come with all-season tires on the A5 after all.

Very Nice! I like the color. It's classy. My husband and I are getting our 2nd Audi within a week or so. Choosing the color is the only hard part!
