Default New D4 for a week

I just got the keys to a D4 for the week from Audi. They have some special program that they are giving to a few select people to test drive. I have not driven it yet but all I can say is wow! They have really stepped up there game. Let me know what questions you have and I will try to answer them...

I'm sure you'll have fun :-)

I should get mine back from the garage tomorrow - tracking was out and various squeaks and noises from the car :-( Plus a load of annoying usability issues that I thought should be DIS reported to make future cars better.

Hopefully the LHD cars are better finished than the RHD model that I have.

I was just wondering if you have side blinds at the back, when the blind comes down on the left side, does it "catch" when coming down ? The demo car I am borrowing has a flapping/hanging blind halfway down the door now and my car had begun to catch.

I learnt about the jukebox track search using voice commands today, it's amazing and works so well. The whole voice thing has moved on so much in a positive way.

Enjoy

Just checked out the LR and RR window shades and they work perfectly. Actually I really like the automated system... Car handles beautifully and is a nice upgrade from my MY06 D3. Looks like I will be getting one...

Yea the product specialist who dropped off the D4 said they were getting 20 D4s for East coast and 20 D4s for West coast. So most likely that was one of them. Mine is a brownish color with 20" wheels...

John said a customer showed up yesterday with a brownish D4 talking about how an Audi rep dropped the car off at your home. I was in earlier in the week having my D3 detailed. Sorry I missed the D4 show :^)

This is my last day with the car and I have put about 750 miles on it (I had to take it to Newport for the weekend ) Tomorrow Audi Picks it up and brings it to the next person on line on tuesday morning...
