I was going to leave DAP off my list till I saw a video with it in Traffic Jam Mode. Now it's back on the list but it further limit my selection from the local dealer stock and anything due in the next 2 months.

My first car that has the HUD (besides rentals, that is) and I cannot imagine buying a car without that feature. My wife’s car does not have an HUD — and when I drive it, I miss that feature.

My Q7 has it and it was a must for the S5 SB on order. I miss it in my TT RS.

Definitely get it, not intrusive but having the speed and speed limit display is helpful, good assistance also when navigating.

Yes! And I really like polarized glasses. I might have to try and see if I can get some lenses without polarization.
The "rainbow effect" through tinted glass with sunglasses has actually not bothered me, even when I had a tinted windshield, but not being able to see the HUD sucks!

For the benefits of HUD, it was well worth a nominal investment in non polarized sunglasses.

I agree. It's more difficult to see with polarized sunglasses. It seems that Audi should provide separate dimmer switches for the dashboard and heads up display, which could solve the problem. That said, I learned that if I move my head slightly to the right, I can see the heads up display just fine with my sunglasses. While it's not a perfect solution, it's an easy adjustment when needed.
