Default New owner A6 Premium Plus 2012

I just took delivery and traded in my Infiniti M35. I love this car, I want to drive it every day. I spent over a month test driving and reading reviews and forums. I test drove the A6 and fell in love at first sight. I had friends telling me not to buy Audi's I test drove the BMW 528i Price wise in Puerto Rico is what competes with A6, and the E350 I did not like the new M37. I hated the interior of the E350 I seem to old. I hated how the 528 drove with the turbo lag and the start stop thing.

I just could not find another car that was even close to the A6. I wanted the Prestige model but in PR with the excise tax was over $10K more. I went online and did resale value on all 4 cars with 15 miles on 2010 models and to my surprise the Audi had the best resale value.

I love the fact that Audi has a owner loyalty program and the other did not. And I got the full maintenance included in the car free.

Looking forward to joining the Audi fam here at the forum.

Cheers

-Things I like so far:
-Got 34.5 MPG on the way home hwy miles.
-I was worried about the reviews saying the steering was overly light. I have mine on auto setting I have to say I love how it transitions from light to park to on center tight feel at high speeds. Is perfect for me.
-The power is so smooth through the power band and at low RPM's, how can I get those MPG's i'm getting??
-The interior!! I can't say enough about it. I spend a lot of time in the car and I love how the interior makes me feel.
-The LED day time lights, I know is a simple thing but I get raving comments on that alone. How it makes the car looks.
-Lastly and more important, I'm the only one that has one, all my friends and neighbors have the traditional BMW, Merc, Lexus and Land Rovers. So mine stands out! ha

My 3G is not activated yet (dealer said it takes a week) so I haven't tried that part yet.

No, as a matter of fact I left the dealer and then remembered about the 3G, went back and the sales man took the # off the 3G card and I signed the activation contract and said it will take about a week. Big oops on their part

Wow, I love those 20" wheels on your car! Is the ride bearable with them? Mine would look so good on those.
