Default D5 owners - check in?

If you own a D5 already and have been driving it a while, any regrets? Thoughts? Problems worth mentioning?

I can yank my order but it's about to get built, so thought I'd check in. thanks

No regrets at all. The D5 is so much quieter and smoother than the D4. The re-design was very well thought out and executed. The new MMI interface takes some time to understand fully due to its depth of features and settings but it works really well. The dynamic all-wheel steering option is, in my opinion, a must-have. It really reduces the turning radius in a parking lot and makes high speed lane changes very smooth. Upgrades like the heated armrests (center and door) as well as the interior lighting options are really appreciated. The interior design and execution is beautiful and well-done. I do miss the torque of the V-8 but the V-6 performs well for my interstate driving needs. The D5 handles all road conditions very well and is very stable and sure-footed when equipped with 4 snow tires.

No real problems worth mentioning other than the "hot phone" issue I posted a few days ago. Still waiting for whatever phone stabilization kit Audi has that they say will fix the issue.

I agree. Love my D5. Love driving it and the quality of everything in it. Of course, there are a few issues, but nothing is perfect
