Default APR Stage 1 Today

After overthinking it for 6 months I finally pulled the trigger on the Stage 1 today. Ridiculous pull on the highway when passing but honestly not much of a difference around town. I look forward to getting out and experimenting a bit on the road. Overall I'm impressed- just not blown away, at least on the first drive. My goal is for this upgrade to keep me in the car for another 2 years. Hopefully it works!

Hmmm... I have a 2013 3.0T V6 and I found my APR Stage 1 upgrade to be quite impressive considering the increased "pull" for an almost two-ton V6 vehicle - I mean 0-60 in 4.5 seconds is nothing to sneeze at! I even had to adjust my driver settings from Dynamic to Comfort to keep myself from pulling so hard in normal traffic and to keep my MPGs at an acceptable level. I'm curious, what model do you have?

I also have the 3.0T. My only experience was a 10 min drive from the place where I had the work done. Haven't had the chance to play with it. But I did note that before I got on the highway there was very little difference. I guess I really need to romp on it more.

Also, I typically keep my Driver select on Auto, with the exception of the suspension which I have sent to Dynamic.
